Is there a Rails admin interface that supports MongoDB and Devise?

Question

I recently switched to MongoDB and I am wondering if I can continue using any of the popular admin interface solutions, such as ActiveScaffold and Typus?

Answer 1

You can try Rails Admin:

a Rails engine that provides an easy-to-use interface for managing your data.

Features

• CRUD any data with ease
• Custom actions
• Automatic form validation
• Search and filtering
• Export data to CSV/JSON/XML
• Authentication (via Devise or other)
• Authorization (via CanCanCan or Pundit)
• User action history (via PaperTrail)
• Supported ORMs
  • ActiveRecord
  • Mongoid

Answer 2

ActiveAdmin https://github.com/gregbell/active_admin is a great tool for the admin interface creation. And I believe sooner or later they add mongoid support.

Right now there's some patch for it: https://github.com/ebeigarts/mongoid_active_admin_app I didn't try it myself though.

Answer 3

if your using Mongoid as your ORM, then active_admin should do the job.. apply this patch to get it working

this disables some functionalities (mostly filters because active_admin relies on meta_search and that gem only supports active_record)

• Fixes ActiveAdmin sorting
• Disables ActiveAdmin Filters/Search
• Disables ActiveAdmin Comments
