RailsAdminSettings

Build Status Dependency Status

Note: This gem currently supports Mongoid 3/4 only, as I don't need AR support.

Pull request with AR support will be welcome

0.9.0 is not backwards-compatible with 0.8

Type renamed to Kind to avoid messing with AR STI column

Rename it in all invocations, then run migrate DB with: 

RailsAdminSettings.migrate!

Also, active record is now supported in addition to mongoid.

Features

  • Lazy loading - loads settings only if they are needed during request
  • Loads all settings at once and caches them for the duration of request
  • Supports lots of setting kinds - yaml, html with ckeditor, phone numbers etc
  • Each setting can be enabled and disabled within rails_admin, if it's disabled it returns default value for kind

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rails_admin_settings'

For activerecord, generage migration:

rails g rails_admin_settings:migration

Then migrate:

rake db:migrate

Gemfile order matters

  • Put it after rails_admin to get built-in support
  • Put it after rails_admin_toggleable to get built-in support
  • Put it after ckeditor/glebtv-ckeditor/rich to get built-in support
  • Put it after russian_phone to get built-in support
  • Put it after sanitized to get built-in support
  • Put it after safe_yaml to get built-in support
  • Put it after validates_email_format_of to get built-in support
  • Put it after geocoder to get built-in support
  • Put it after carrierwave / paperclip to get built-in support
  • Put it after addressable to get built-in support

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rails_admin_settings

Basic Usage (like RailsSettings)

Settings.admin_email = '[email protected]'
Settings.admin_email

Advanced Usage

Settings.content_block_1(kind: 'html', default: 'test')
Settings.data(kind: 'yaml')
Settings.data = [1, 2, 3]

Settings.enabled?(:phone, kind: 'phone', default: '906 111-11-11') # also creates setting if it doesn't exist
Settings.phone.area
Settings.phone.subscriber

Value types

Supported types:

string (input)
text (textarea)
color (uses built-in RailsAdmin color picker)
html (supports Rich, glebtv-ckeditor, ckeditor, but does not require any of them)
sanitized (requires sanitize -- sanitizes HTML before saving to DB [Warning: uses RELAXED config!])

phone (requires russian_phone)
email (requires validates_email_format_of)
address (requires geocoder)
file (requires paperclip or carrierwave)
