I have this system where I use ActiveAdmin to automate the backend and I was wondering if anyone tried to use in-place editing with tables for ActiveAdmin.
I see some scenarios where that would be useful: key-value tables (like State, Category, etc.) and in master-detail views (Order and OrderItems)...
Have anyone attempted to implement it? Any good pointers?
We've used best_in_place Editor but only on customized views, not on generic ones.
https://github.com/bernat/best_in_place
gem "best_in_place"
bundle
rails g best_in_place:setup
Add the best_in_place script to /app/assets/javascripts/active_admin.js
:
//= require best_in_place
$(document).ready(function() {
/* Activating Best In Place */
jQuery(".best_in_place").best_in_place() });
in your custom view partial you can have something like
.panel
%h3 Your Resource Table
.panel_contents
.attributes_table
%table
%tbody
%tr
%th Name
%td= best_in_place resource, :name, :type => :input, :path => [:admin, resource]
...
...
As ActiveAdmin has already setup your RESTful Actions and BestInPlace is using RESTful PUT to Update too, everything should work automatically :)
You may can also use something like this, but I've not tested this yet.
index do
column(:name) { |i| best_in_place i, :name, :type => :input, :path => [:admin, i] }
end
Actually Best In Place monkey patch for Active Admin views is very easy:
# app/admin/active_admin/views.rb
module ActiveAdmin::ViewHelpers
extend BestInPlace::BestInPlaceHelpers
end
