Administration One

Administration One is a fork of Administration Zero by Lázaro Nixon, which can be considered as its charged and production-ready version. Like the original gem, it is designed for generating an administrative interface for Ruby on Rails applications. Administration-One includes all the original gem’s features but also comes with the following:

• User management is built with the standard Rails authorization generator introduced in version 8+. Administrators are users with the is_admin field set to true.
• EditorJS as the WYSIWYG editor.
• Basic user profile management.
• A functional light/dark theme switcher and other minor improvements.

bundle add administration-one

Then:

rails generate admin:install

Then run bundle install

Then run rails db:migrate db:seed

You can access the admin panel in /admin, using email: "admin@example.com", password: "Password1234"

You'll need to create a model to be administrated, if you don't have one. for this example let's use the following:

rails generate model Post title:string content:text published:boolean

Now you are free to generate your admin scaffolds.

rails generate admin:scaffold posts title:string content:text published:boolean

Since this model has an attribute content:text, the generator will ask whether to use EditorJS. This question will be asked for any model that has an attribute named «content».

Since uploading images via EditorJS typically requires storage (which can be implemented in many different ways depending on the project) Administration One uses an universal solution: encoding all images to Base64. However, this approach may be not database-friendly. The author strongly recommends implementing file-based image uploads tailored to your project’s specific.
