Invalid Date - Null Values

[Keaja]

If my date picker is empty or the user has not selected anything, I
get the following error. How can I handle empty/null values?

ArgumentError in YikesController#index

invalid date

You can add some validation to your model, to check if the user has filled the date.

Thanks Kanniball. That is a good idea except that I want the user to be able to leave the date blank. Is there way to allow null dates?

You are allowing null values in the database?

Hi Kanniball,

Yes I would like to allow null values in my date columns. Not sure why I am getting that error when I do not have any validation and null's are allowed
