ActiveAdminAutoSelect
This gem is a little widget which combines Select2, PostgeSQL and ActiveAdmin and helps you filter objects in ActiveAdmin with autocomplete of the selected fields.
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'admin_auto_select'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Add the following directive to your Javascript manifest file:
//= require autoselect
Usage
After installing the gem, you have to add some lines into the model you want to auto_select. For example, if you want to add the widget to the users id filter:
Call the method defined in the module in order to create the collection_action
first_name, :last_name, :email are the fields which help you find the desired user
auto_select :first_name, :last_name, :email
Then change the relevant filter in your model
Notice: :id_eq is necessary. data-scope is the desired scope which will be used by the widget in order to fetch the similar users. data-url is also necessary and is the url generated by the action which is defined in the module.
filter :id_eq, label: "User", input_html: { data: { scope: 'user',
url: 'users/autoselect',
placeholder: 'Select user' } }
Instantiate the js class in your active_admin js file with the generated filter input.
newAutoSelect = new AutoSelect(input: $("#q_id_eq))
