I'm using the simple form gem in my ruby on rails app. In my app, I'm also using ActiveStorage to hold images.

I'm using Krajee jquery file-input

I want to be able to upload images using the simple form gem. Here is my input:

<%= f.input :image, input_html: { id: :image_input } %>

I'm supposed to initialize the input using this command (as provided by the docs)

<script>

  $(function() {

        // initialize with defaults
        $("#image_input").fileinput();

        // with plugin options
       $("#image_input").fileinput({'showUpload':false, 'previewFileType':'any'});

  });

</script>

The jquery code is not hiding the input. I have checked if jQuery is installed and made sure that it was working. I imagine that the problem lies somewhere in the way I'm creating my input field, but I'm not too sure.

Any help is appreciated.

UPDATE

When I check the page source, the input does have the correct id, however, the style of the input is set to display: none. I'm guessing that has something to do with the Krajee Library.

I tried this post: Change id in simple form

it did not work.

try keeping the id as string instead of symbol something like this 

html: {class: "form-horizontal quote-form", id: "send-quote-form", :multipart => true})

Try this

$(document).ready(function(){
    // initialize with defaults
    $("#image_input").fileinput();

    // with plugin options
    $("#image_input").fileinput({'showUpload':false, 'previewFileType':'any'});
})
