Now that we have our enum functionality in place, we are going to implement the ability to show the enum values in the Administrate dashboard.
Start by going to the post_dashboard.rb configuration file, and add the status field to the ATTRIBUTE_TYPES list. Also, swap out status instead of id in the COLLECTION_ATTRIBUTES list. Also, add the new status field to SHOW_PAGE_ATTRIBUTES. We won't use the status attribute in our FORM_ATTRIBUTES list since Administrate would only render the value as a string representation of the value. The full code file should look like this:
# app/dashboards/post_dashboard.rb require "administrate/base_dashboard" class PostDashboard < Administrate::BaseDashboard ATTRIBUTE_TYPES = { user: Field::BelongsTo.with_options(searchable: false), id: Field::Number.with_options(searchable: false), date: Field::DateTime.with_options(searchable: false), rationale: Field::Text.with_options(searchable: true), created_at: Field::DateTime.with_options(searchable: false), updated_at: Field::DateTime.with_options(searchable: false), status: Field::Text.with_options(searchable: true), }.freeze COLLECTION_ATTRIBUTES = [ :user, :status, :date, :rationale, ].freeze SHOW_PAGE_ATTRIBUTES = [ :user, :status, :id, :date, :rationale, :created_at, :updated_at, ].freeze FORM_ATTRIBUTES = [ :user, :date, :rationale, ].freeze end
Next, go to the seeds.rb file and create an admin user.
# db/seeds.rb AdminUser.create(email: "admin@test.com", password: "asdfasdf", password_confirmation: "asdfasdf", first_name: "Admin", last_name: "Name") puts "1 Admin User created"
Next, let's wipe out our database with the command:
bundle exec rake db:setup
This will load the database with our clean data and new AdminUser.
If you open the browser and log in with the new credentials, you can see the posts and users page. You can also see the status field.
