Quick Start

To get started with a new Rails project

Added to Gemfile

gem 'active_scaffold'

Add jquery-rails to Gemfile, or handle jquery with other tools like webpack or importmap. Also it's possible to load jquery in your layout before application.js using CDN (e.g. jquery-rails-cdn). You can replace @rails/ujs with jquery_ujs, although @rails/ujs should work (never load both).

gem 'jquery-rails'

For rails 7.x, install generator will add active_scaffold to config/importmap.rb, app/javascript/application.js, and active_scaffold/manifest.js to app/assets/config/manifest.js. It will add jquery and jquery_ujs to all the 3 files if jquery-rails gem is available.

For rails 6.1, install generator will create app/assets/javascripts/application.js, add it, and active_scaffold/manifest.js, to app/assets/config/manifest.js and add javascript_include_tag in layout, as ActiveScaffold doesn't work with webpack. It will add jquery to app/assets/javascripts/application.js too if query-rails gem is available, although Jquery may be loaded by packs too and it will work, it won't add jquery_ujs or @rails/ujs as it's added to app/javascript/packs/application.js by default.

Run the following commands

bundle install
rails g active_scaffold:install
rails db:create
rails g active_scaffold:resource Model [attrs]
rails db:migrate

Run the app and visit localhost:3000/<plural_model>

It's recommended to call clear_helpers in ApplicationController, as some helpers defined by ActiveScaffold, such as active_scaffold_enum_options, options_for_association_conditions, association_klass_scoped, are usually overrided for different controllers, and it may cause issues when all helper modules are available to every controller, specially when models have associations or columns with the same name but need different code for those overrided helper methods.

Threadsafe

Threadsafe is enabled always since 4.0, and it can't be disabled.

Configuration

See Wiki for instructions on customising ActiveScaffold and to find the full API details.
