Module: ActiveAdmin::ResourceController::DataAccess

Included in:
ActiveAdmin::ResourceController
Defined in:
lib/active_admin/resource_controller/data_access.rb

Overview

This module overrides most of the data access methods in Inherited Resources to provide Active Admin with it’s data.

The module also deals with authorization and resource callbacks.

Instance Method Details

#apply_authorization_scope(collection) ⇒ ActiveRecord::Relation (protected)

Gives the authorization library a change to pre-scope the collection.

In the case of the CanCan adapter, it calls ‘#accessible_by` on the collection.

Parameters:

  • collection (ActiveRecord::Relation) —

    The collection to scope

Returns:

  • (ActiveRecord::Relation) —

    a scoped collection of query

def apply_authorization_scope(collection)
  action_name = action_to_permission(params[:action])
  active_admin_authorization.scope_collection(collection, action_name)
end

#apply_decorations(resource) ⇒ ActiveRecord::Base (protected)

Returns resource.

Parameters:

  • resource (ActiveRecord::Base)

Returns:

  • (ActiveRecord::Base) —

    resource

end

#apply_filtering(chain) ⇒ Object (protected)

Applies any Ransack search methods to the currently scoped collection. Both ‘search` and `ransack` are provided, but we use `ransack` to prevent conflicts.

  end

end

#build_new_resource ⇒ ActiveRecord::Base (protected)

Builds a new resource. This method uses the method_for_build provided by Inherited Resources.

Note that public_send can’t be used here w/ Rails 3.2 & a belongs_to config, or you’ll get undefined method ‘build’ for []:Array.

Returns:

  • (ActiveRecord::Base) —

    An un-saved active record base object

# File 'lib/active_admin/resource_controller/data_access.rb', line 138

end

#build_resource ⇒ ActiveRecord::Base (protected)

Builds, memoize and authorize a new instance of the resource. The actual work of building the new instance is delegated to the #build_new_resource method.

This method is used to instantiate and authorize new resources in the new and create controller actions.

Returns:

  • (ActiveRecord::Base) —

    An un-saved active record base object

  q = q.to_unsafe_h if q.respond_to? :to_unsafe_h
  q.delete_if{ |key, value| value.blank? }
end

#collection ⇒ ActiveRecord::Relation (protected)

Retrieve, memoize and authorize the current collection from the db. This method delegates the finding of the collection to #find_collection.

Once #collection has been called, the collection is available using either the @collection instance variable or an instance variable named after the resource that the collection is for. eg: Post => @post.

Returns:

  • (ActiveRecord::Relation) —

    The collection for the index

  • object (ActiveRecord::Base) —

    The new resource to create

  else
    active_admin_config.default_scope(self)

end

#destroy_resource(object) ⇒ void (protected)

This method returns an undefined value.

Destroys an object from the database and calls appropriate callbacks.

#find_collection(options = {}) ⇒ ActiveRecord::Relation (protected)

Does the actual work of retrieving the current collection from the db. This is a great method to override if you would like to perform some additional db # work before your controller returns and authorizes the collection.

Returns:

  • (ActiveRecord::Relation) —

    The collection for the index

  collection = scoped_collection
  collection_applies(options).each do |applyer|
    collection = send("apply_#{applyer}", collection)
  end
  collection
end

#find_resource ⇒ ActiveRecord::Base (protected)

Does the actual work of finding a resource in the database. This method uses the finder method as defined in InheritedResources.

Note that public_send can’t be used here because Rails 3.2’s ActiveRecord::Associations::CollectionProxy (belongs_to associations) mysteriously returns an Enumerator object.

Returns:

  • (ActiveRecord::Base) —

    An active record object.

  else
    active_admin_config.max_per_page
  end
end

#resource ⇒ ActiveRecord::Base (protected)

Retrieve, memoize and authorize a resource based on params. The actual work of finding the resource is done in #find_resource.

This method is used on all the member actions:

* show
* edit
* update
* destroy

Returns:

  • (ActiveRecord::Base) —

    An active record object

end

#save_resource(object) ⇒ void (protected)

This method returns an undefined value.

Calls all the appropriate callbacks and then saves the new resource.

  end
end

#scoped_collection ⇒ Object (protected)

Override this method in your controllers to modify the start point of our searches and index.

This method should return an ActiveRecord::Relation object so that the searching and filtering can be applied on top

Note, unless you are doing something special, you should use the scope_to method from the Scoping module instead of overriding this method.

#update_resource(object, attributes) ⇒ void (protected)

This method returns an undefined value.

Update an object with the given attributes. Also calls the appropriate callbacks for update action.

Parameters:

  • object (ActiveRecord::Base) —

    The instance to update

  • attributes (Array) —

    An array with the attributes in the first position and the Active Record “role” in the second. The role may be set to nil.
