Build select date and year inputs with simple_form

In my Ruby on Rails application I have some form that needs inputs to select month and year. I do this with built in Rails select_date input:

 = select_date @date, :order => [ :month, :year], :discard_day => true

But now I want to know is there any way to the same easy with simple_form?

Obviously an old question but the answer is YES, you absolutely can do the same with simple_form. Posted for others looking for this answer.

You'll pass date as the input type and then rather like the select_date form_for input helper, you'll pass discard_day

So it might look like this:

= f.input :your_date_field, as: :date,  discard_day: true
