time_zone_options_for_select

v6.0.0 - Show latest stable - 0 notes - Class: ActionView::Helpers::FormOptionsHelper

time_zone_options_for_select(selected = nil, priority_zones = nil, model = ::ActiveSupport::TimeZone) public

Returns a string of option tags for pretty much any time zone in the world. Supply an ActiveSupport::TimeZone name as selected to have it marked as the selected option tag. You can also supply an array of ActiveSupport::TimeZone objects as priority_zones, so that they will be listed above the rest of the (long) list. (You can use ActiveSupport::TimeZone.us_zones as a convenience for obtaining a list of the US time zones, or a Regexp to select the zones of your choice)

The selected parameter must be either nil, or a string that names an ActiveSupport::TimeZone.

By default, model is the ActiveSupport::TimeZone constant (which can be obtained in Active Record as a value object). The model parameter must respond to all and return an array of objects that represent time zones; each object must respond to name. If a Regexp is given it will attempt to match the zones using the =~ operator.

NOTE: Only the option tags are returned, you have to wrap this call in a regular HTML select tag.
