rails-admin-scaffold

Rails 4 generator which allows to scaffold admin controllers, views with proper (non-namespaced) models, helpers, tests and routes

How to use

• Add gem 'rails-admin-scaffold', 'x.x.x' to your Gemfile
• Run bundle install
• Create admin scaffold with e. g. bin/rails g admin:scaffold_controller Post title:string content:text published:boolean
• And don’t forget to generate model itself bin/rails g model Post title:string content:text published:boolean and apply migrations bin/rake db:migrate

How to customize your generator templates

Put the ‘_form.html.erb.erb’, ‘edit.html.erb.erb’, ‘index.html.erb.erb’, ‘new.html.erb.erb’, ‘show.html.erb.erb’ into ‘/lib/templates/admin/scaffold_controller/views/erb/’

Then the generator will use those templates to generate scaffold.

How to customize your prefix name

Type your command with option --prefix_name=xxxx.

If you want change the prefix name ‘admin’ to ‘manager’ for example you can do something like this:

bin/rails g admin:scaffold_controller Post title:string content:text published:boolean --prefix_name=manager

This will generate class Manager::PostsController < ApplicationController

How to customize your parent controller

If you want all your Admin controllers to inherit from another
controller like AdminController you can specify the
–parent_controller option:

bin/rails g admin:scaffold_controller Post title:string content:text published:boolean --parent_controller=admin

This will generate class Admin::PostsController < AdminController

How to generate bootstrap-friendly views

If you want to generate bootstrap friendly views, use the --bootstrap option (-b for short)

bin/rails g admin:scaffold_controller Post title:string content:text published:boolean --bootstrap

Plans

• add haml suppurt
• add jbuilder support
• improve tests
• use travis for ci

• add minitest support
• add rspec support
• split controller_scaffold into several separate generators
