In Rails, for latest stable release add it to your Gemfile:

gem 'admin_bits'

If you are brave enough to live on the edge, or just want to checkout latest version use:

gem 'admin_bits', git: 'https://github.com/detomastah/admin_bits.git'

The easiest way to get started is to user admin_bits generator.

Let's assume that you have model Item. The following command will create a new Admin::ItemsController with initial resource:

rails generate admin_bits items

The resource, layout and assets can be freely modified. If there were no errors, one should be able to see new route admin/items.

Some new files should have appeared, like:

app/models/admin/item_resource.rb
app/controllers/admin/base_controller.rb
app/controllers/admin/items_controller.rb
app/views/layouts/admin.html.erb

If you want to learn more about the generator check its documentation.

Check out your item_resource class for some hints on how you can customize your Resource. This class contain settings associated with the items resource. You can also check documentation for more information.

You will find resource private method in resource items_controller.

def resource
  @resource ||= Admin::ItemResource.new(params)
end

You can use this for example in your index action:

def index
  @items = resource.fetch_for_index
end
