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.
Documentation
To customize the appearance, behavior, and contents of the dashboard, we publish a set of guides for the current release.
These guides are available as markdown files in the docs
subdirectory of the
git repository, too.
We publish docs for the upcoming release, which you can find at our prerelease app.
