Is there a gem similar to active admin for user views in rails 3?

Question

just curious if there's a gem similar to ActiveAdmin for viewing data when simply logged in as current_user. Having the filters, and sorting, for any column already there is awfully nice, and if I don't have to reinvent the wheel, I don't want to.

Just checking, really. thanks!

Not that I've come across unfortunately.

However, if you're just looking for a way to provide some interactivity to a set of data, the jquery-datatables-rails gem may do what you need (this is in fact just a gem wrapper for the datatables JS library from datatables.net ):

Also, there's a railscast on using it here - http://railscasts.com/episodes/340-datatables

Hope that helps!
