title: Administrate
home: true
A framework for creating flexible, powerful admin dashboards in Rails. Try the demo.
Warning:
Administrate is still pre-1.0, and there may be occasional breaking changes to the API. Check the release notes for important updates.
What Is Administrate?
Administrate is a library for Rails apps that automatically generates admin dashboards. Administrate's admin dashboards give non-technical users clean interfaces that allow them to create, edit, search, and delete records for any model in the application.
Administrate solves the same problem as Rails Admin and ActiveAdmin, but aims to provide a better user experience for site admins, and to be easier for developers to customize.
To accomplish these goals, Administrate follows a few guiding principles:
- No DSLs (domain-specific languages)
- Support the simplest use cases, and let the user override defaults with standard tools such as plain Rails controllers and views.
- Break up the library into core components and plugins, so each component stays small and easy to maintain.
Getting Started
Administrate supports Rails from 4.2, up to 5.0 and beyond. We support Ruby 2.4 and up.
Add Administrate to your Gemfile and re-bundle:
gem "administrate"
The included installer will create dashboards for each model in your app, complete with routes:
$ rails generate administrate:install
Restart your server, and visit http://localhost:3000/admin to see your new dashboard in action.
For more detailed instructions or to make it work with Rails API-only applications, please go through the 'Getting Started' guide.
If your apps uses Sprockets 4, you'll need to add Administrate's assets to your manifest.js file. To do this, add these two lines to the file:
//= link administrate/application.css
//= link administrate/application.js
Otherwise, your app will show you this error:
Asset `administrate/application.css` was not declared to be precompiled in production.
Declare links to your assets in `app/assets/config/manifest.js`.
For more information on why this is necessary, see https://www.schneems.com/2017/11/22/self-hosted-config-introducing-the-sprockets-manifestjs
Create Additional Dashboards
In order to create additional dashboards, pass in the resource name to the dashboard generator. A dashboard and controller will be created.
$ rails generate administrate:dashboard Foo
Documentation
To customize the appearance, behavior, and contents of the dashboard,
see the guides at
https://administrate-prototype.herokuapp.com.
These guides are available as markdown files in the docs subdirectory of the
git repository, too.
