<%# app/views/balloons/_form.html.erb %>

<%# Basic usage: %>
<%= simple_form_for @balloon do |f| %>
  <%= f.input :color, as: :minicolors %>
<% end %>

<%# With Bootstrap theme and swatch on the right: %>
<%= simple_form_for @balloon do |f| %>
  <%= f.input :color, as: :minicolors, input_html: {data: {
          minicolors: {theme: :bootstrap, position: :right}}} %>
<% end %>

Testing

bundle exec rspec

Since this gem uses a lot of different frameworks, anything is possible. So despite the specs are "green", please verify manually:

cd test_app
bundle
rails s
open http://localhost:3000/ # Assert everything looks & works good.

rm -rf tmp/cache
rm -rf public/assets
RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake assets:precompile
rails s -eproduction
open http://localhost:3000/ # Assert everything looks & works good.

Versioning

Gem has the same version as the vendored minicolors library (http://git.io/ZWaGNg) plus an extra minor version number.
