Client Side Validations + simple_form in Rails 5

Question

When I put the following in my gemfile:

gem 'simple_form'
gem 'client_side_validations'#, github: 'DavyJonesLocker/client_side_validations'
gem 'client_side_validations-simple_form'#, github: 'DavyJonesLocker/client_side_validations-simple_form'

It results in this:

Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "rails":
  In Gemfile:
    rails (= 5.0.0)

    client_side_validations-simple_form was resolved to 3.2.0, which depends on
      client_side_validations (~> 4.2.0) was resolved to 4.2.0, which depends on
        rails (< 4.3.0, >= 4.0.0)

Any ideas on getting these gems to work?

Answer 1

You can use client_side_validations with Rails 5 by specifying the branch like this:

gem 'client_side_validations', 
    github: 'DavyJonesLocker/client_side_validations', 
    branch: 'rails5'

And if using Simple Form:

gem 'client_side_validations-simple_form', 
    github: 'DavyJonesLocker/client_side_validations-simple_form', 
    branch: 'rails5'
