ActiveAdmin::Subnav

Gem Version

Enhanced sub-navigation for nested ActiveAdmin resources.

Currently, the base ActiveAdmin resets the top navigation menu to display the nested navigation menu, but it can be confusing to lose the main navigation context. This project keeps the main navigation visible and displays a secondary navigation bar for nested resources.

ActiveAdmin::Subnav Example

Supports both ActiveAdmin v1.0.0+ and older v0.6.4+ versions.

Note: Optional belongs_to configurations are not supported!

Usage

Resource belongs_to configuration does not require any extra configuration beyond the default. Below the Post resource belongs to Site.

# admin/site.rb
ActiveAdmin.register Site

# admin/post.rb
ActiveAdmin.register Post do
  belongs_to :site
end

Registering belongs_to pages requires more setup to properly access the parent record. This is a side effect of how Arbre references parent HTML nodes. Below a new method, #site, is created to provide access to the parent record.

# admin/site_statistics.rb
ActiveAdmin.register_page "Statistics" do
  belongs_to :site

  content do
    statistics = site.statistics
    # ...
  end

  controller do

    # Provide access to the parent resource record: Site.
    #
    # Without this extra setup the parent record will not be accessible. Any
    # calls to `#parent` will return the Arbre parent element and not the
    # ActiveAdmin resource.
    alias_method :site, :parent

    # Expose the method as a helper making it available to the view
    helper_method :site

  end
end

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'active_admin-subnav'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Add the subnav's styles to your active_admin.css.scss stylesheet:

//= require active_admin/subnav

// Align subnav with main navigation by padding the width of the site's
// title.
#header div.subnav {
  padding-left: 8.333em;
}
