ActiveAdminSimpleLife

About

Gem automatize routine with creation simple menus in ActiveAdmin with minimum code duplication.

Installation

put in Gemfile

gem 'active_admin_simple_life'

in config/initializers/active_admin.rb change header like this:

# frozen_string_literal: true
include ActiveAdminSimpleLife
ActiveAdmin.setup do |config|
  include ActiveAdminSimpleLife::SimpleElements
  # your settings

I had to include simple_menu_for method bacause it must be in the main namespace, so it is not a bug ;)

Usage

For all gem methods you need to present class method(NOT scope!) main fields, where you provide columns, which you would like to manage. Example:

class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
...
  def self.main_fields
    [:title, :price, :sale_date]
  end
end

Methods

simple_menu_for KlassName, [options] which will make all dirty work, and just give you simple menu, with only main_fields and filters in 1 line. method takes options like:

• :priority = ActiveAdmin proxy menu priority
• :parent = ActiveAdmin proxy menu parent
• :permitted_params = addition for strong params (by default provides only main_fields)
• :max_length = max column length

Parts of simple_menu_for may be used for other purposes with:

• index_for_main_fields klass, options, where options is :max_length
• filter_for_main_fields klass
• form_for_main_fields klass

Other feature is simple menu with 1 single nested klass. For it I made

• nested_form_for_main_fields klass, nested_klass

Goodies

Added generator with simple settings model for future use. I find it reusable, so, you may like it. For installation run

rails g active_admin_simple_life:simple_config

I18n

    active: 'Active'
