Overview¶ ↑
ActiveScaffold provides a quick and powerful user interfaces for CRUD (create, read, update, delete) operations for Rails applications. It offers additonal features including searching, pagination & layout control. Rails 3.2 and 4.x are supported, ruby >= 1.9 required. For rails 4 is recommended >= 4.0.5.
Branch Details¶ ↑
rails-3.2 branch on Github supports Rails 3.1 & 3.2, and is the current source of the 3.2.x line of gems. The master branch (3.3.x) has dropped support for Rails 3.1
Quick Start¶ ↑
To get started with a new Rails project
Added to Gemfile
gem 'active_scaffold'
Run the following commands
bundle install bundle exec rake db:create rails g active_scaffold User name:string bundle exec rake db:migrate
Add the following line to app/assets/javascripts/application.js
//= require active_scaffold
Add the following line to /app/assets/stylesheets/application.css
*= require active_scaffold
Run the app and visit localhost:3000/users
Configuration¶ ↑
See Wiki for instructions on customising ActiveScaffold and to find the full API details.
Compatibility Issues¶ ↑
jQuery 1.9 deprecates some methods that rails-3.2 branch still uses (NB: jQuery 1.9 is supported in 3.3.x, the master branch). You'll therefore need to ensure you use jQuery 1.8. You can do this by fixing version in your Gemfile:
gem 'jquery-rails', '2.1.4'
active_scaffold_batch plugin gem (versions 3.2.x) require 3.3.x (master branch). Therefore if you wish to try using active_scaffold_batch with this branch, you'll need to fork the project and edit the runtime dependency in the gemspec file (use at your own discretion)
