Multiselect for Rails

multi-select is a tiny jQuery plugin to customize selects with the multiple attribute.

The multi-select-rails gem integrates multi-select with the Rails asset pipeline.

Usage

Install multi-select-rails gem

Include multi-select-rails in Gemfile

gem 'multi-select-rails'

Then run bundle install

Include multiselect javascript

Add to your app/assets/javascripts/application.js

//= require multi-select

Include multiselect stylesheet

Add to your app/assets/stylesheets/application.css

*= require multi-select

Updating the gem

There are two rake tasks designed to ease the maintenance of this gem.

The update task pulls the latest multi-select code from github and places images, stylesheets and javascripts in the correct gem paths. It also changes background-image properties in the stylesheet to asset pipeline equivalents.

rake update

The build task is a simple wrapper for gem build

rake build
