Getting Started
First things first. Add routes and create application_controller.rb class using generator:

Generating Resources
For example you have model User, then run:
rails g adminable:resource user
# => create app/controllers/adminable/users_controller.rb
For namespaced models, like Blog::Post, use:
rails g adminable:resource blog/post
# => create app/controllers/adminable/blog/posts_controller.rb

For existing attributes
set(name, = {})
