Installation

This field is a standalone gem. You have to add it to your Gemfile alongside the money-rails gem.

Add this field to the Gemfile

# Gemfile

gem "avo-money_field"
gem "money-rails", "~> 1.12"

Important: Monetization Requirement

In order to fully utilize the money field's features, you must monetize the associated attribute at the model level using the monetize method from the money-rails gem. (Usage example)

For example:

monetize :price_cents

Without this step, the money field may not behave as expected, and the field might not render.
