#ActiveAdminSimpleLife

About

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

###Installation

put in Gemfile

gem 'active_admin_simple_life'

###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

ActiveAdminSimpleLife.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
• index: {skip: true} or form: {skip: true} or filter: {skip: true} for skipping some parts of defaults and of course you may provide a block to this method, which witll be executed in AA context

Parts of simple_menu_for may be used for other purposes with:

• index_for_main_fields klass, options, where options are:
  1. :max_length - max length of field. Integer
  2. :add - extra fields, which will be added in index. Symbol or Array
  3. :position - extra fields starting position (from 0)
• filter_for_main_fields klass, options
  1. :options - accept Hash of options for needed action, like index: {products: { hint: 'click for select'}}
• 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, options

1. :options - accept Hash of options for 1 column ot nested column. Nested column example products: {comments: { label: 'Words'} }

###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

• For :gender field in filers provided 'male' and 'female' names instead of yes/no

###I18n

For boolean data only

en:
  boolean:
    active: 'Active'
    not_active: 'Not active'
