Admin Panel

This gem has been created as a recruitment task I was given. It's a set of generators to create administration panel for your website.

Start with adding these gems to your Gemfile:

gem 'admin-panel', '~> 0.1.5'
gem 'devise', '~> 3.2'
gem 'simple_form', '3.1.0.rc1'
gem 'bootstrap-sass', '~> 3.1'
gem 'kaminari', '~> 0.16.1'

Then do bundle install and run the installer:

$ rails generate admin_panel:install

The scaffolder has basically the same syntax as the Rails one, except there's currently no support for custom namespace.

$ rails generate admin_panel:scaffold NAME [field:type field:type ...]

Tests can be run using rake spec. They are written using rspec and ammeter.

This gem was based mostly on two different pieces of software: bootstrap-generators and rails-admin-scaffold

I also took the liberty of copying kaminari bootstrap templates from kaminari-bootstrap

Currently this gem is pretty much one-evening project, I'm not sure if I'll continue it's development past this point.

Things that'd be nice to have:

• support for anything more than Active Record
• support for anything more than Erb (haml)
• support for slim
• namespace change support and more configuration options
• kaminari/will_paginate support
• I liked the idea of copying the files to your project during install at first but now it just seems silly; I should probably rewrite everything from scratch to work more similarly to Devise, including the ability to extend default controllers where necessary
• I was also supposed to add Carrierwave support too but ran out of time
• sorting
• per page count selector
