I want to create admin interface for existing model User.
What is the simplest way?
I think, it's scaffolding.
Scaffolding in rails is generated by script( rails generate scaffold
), and there is no options to do it dynamically (like in django), correct?
So how can I create scaffolding controller AdminUsers
for model User
? Create AdminUsers
scaffolding and replace AdminUser
model by User
?
What should I do if model will be changed by migrations? Manually update scaffolding controller and views, right? Is there any automation?
You can generate the files dynamically using scaffolding- the scaffold command can take a namespaced argument.
rails generate scaffold Admin::User
You don't need another model though- your Admin::UsersController and views should be working with the User model.
Using standard solutions such as activeadmin or rails_admin is the simpliest way. If you want something custom and still wondering how to scaffold controller AdminUsers
for model User
, you might want to take a look at rails-admin-scaffold gem which automates this process and an article with more detailed explanation.
ActiveAdmin is a neat user interface for your Rails application. It gives you a fully customizable user interface to your models.
