RecordSelect

RecordSelect is a Rails widget to help you pick one record out of many. I designed it as a more usable and performant alternative to generating a massive dropdown list. It relies on AJAX, powered by jQuery, so jQuery must be loaded first, either from jquery-rails gem or just loading the JS in the assets pipeline, or imported before importing record_select if using importmap.

Please see the ActionView::Helpers::RecordSelectHelpers for the most common API. More documentation (and HOWTOs) can be found online at the wiki.

USAGE WITH ASSETS PIPELINE

Add to application.js

“‘js //= require jquery //= require record_select “`

USAGE WITH IMPORTMAP

Add to importmap.rb

“‘rb pin “jquery” pin “record_select” “`

Add to app/assets/config/manifest.js

“‘js //= link jquery.js //= link record_select.js “`

Add to app/javascript/application.js

“‘js import ’jquery’ import ‘record_select’ “‘

USAGE WITH ACTIVE_SCAFFOLD

Either using assets pipeline or importmap, it will be loaded when requiring or importing active_scaffold, so no need to add it to application.js, importmap.rb or manifest.js

This depends on the excellent Paginator gem by Bruce Williams. This simple gem is available at paginator.rubyforge.org.
