Rails Admin vs. ActiveAdmin [closed]

Question

I've been looking into some rails admin plugins and came across these:

https://github.com/gregbell/active_admin

https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin

https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate (EDIT: added later)

Any suggestions as to which one to go with. I would need it to support model associations and file uploads abilities.

Answer 1

I vote for rails_admin. I like its looks and the fact that out of the box all the models are available for administration. The history feature is quite useful too.

Any project with Yehuda Katz as a mentor should be a safe bet.

Answer 2

I personally think the two could be merged, and have just raised the issue on both projects:

• https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin/issues/799
• https://github.com/gregbell/active_admin/issues/677

I think it would be great to take the best parts from both, and collaborate on the missing pieces.
