Unsupported field types

[bbenezech]

Hello again,

Simple form doesn't support all field types. For example jsonb columns will raise

ActionView::Template::Error (No input found for jsonb):
    14:           </div>
    15:
    16:         <% else %>
    17:           <%= form.input name, label: name %>
    18:         <% end %>
    19:       <% end %>
    20:     </div>

The way you handle it is your call. I guess I would default to text. Not sure how.

Catching around form.input name, label: name and retrying with as: :text looks dirty, maybe you can try to toy around SimpleForm API to see if they expose smtg than can help you in find_mapping.

Unless you want to go with user-faced config hooks, but I sure wouldn't!

@bbenezech please add me in skype - "igorkasyanchuk" if you want. I really like what you are making and found issues you have found and your solutions. I think we can discuss them and plan fixes together if you want.

SimpleForm fallbacks on custom types named after field's type.

For ex. a jsonb field would need an app/inputs/jsonb_input.rb file:

class JsonbInput < SimpleForm::Inputs::TextInput; end

It works fine with a limited hassle.
