A powerful, lightweight admin gem for Padrino with support for Mongoid and ActiveRecord and a variety of different field types

In the Gemfile of your application:

gem 'will_paginate', github: 'mislav/will_paginate'
gem 'activate-tools', github: 'wordsandwriting/activate-tools'
gem 'activate-admin', github: 'wordsandwriting/activate-admin'

In config/apps.rb:

Padrino.mount('ActivateAdmin::App', :app_file => ActivateAdmin.root('app/app.rb')).to('/admin')

Say you have a model User with the fields User#name and User#birthday. Then in the model:

def self.admin_fields
  {
    :name => :text, # same as {:type => :text, :edit => true, :index => true, :new_hint => nil, :edit_hint => nil, :new_tip => nil, :edit_tip => nil, :lookup => true, :full => false}
    :birthday => :date
  }
end

See https://github.com/wordsandwriting/activate-tools/blob/master/lib/form_builder.rb for field types.

Start your app and navigate to /admin. Voila!

def self.filter_options
  {
    :q => 'default query', 
    :f => [:field1 => 'default query on field1', :field2 => 'default query on field2'],
    :o => :field1, # default field to order_by
    :d => :asc # default order direction
  }
end
