Further support for ORM adapters

[mshibuya]

Currently proposed:

• ActiveModel
• ActiveResource
• Redis
• Neo4j
• NoBrainer

We're considering developing adapter for our ActiveModel based classes. These are models, which are mapped to third party API.

Do you think it will be possible to implement? What is the most basic level of ORM functionality required by rails_admin?

Thank you in advance!

[ypadlyak]

Any thoughts?

[mshibuya]

There was a discussion involving ActiveModel support in #157.

By the way, this project is RailsAdmin, not ActiveAdmin :)

[ypadlyak]

Sorry, just updated :)

An abstract adapter would be great. I'd like to implement different views of models or of other data, whether or not in a DB.

Is there any way to hack around this currently?

[zenati]

up.

Elasticsearch persistent model actually implement ActiveModel. I'd like to get some pointer if it's possible to get it going with rails_admin.

The current adapters are really robust, something clean like orm_adapter or using ActiveModel::Naming will be better.

If anyone knows a workaround for this or knows of an applicable fork, that would be awesome. I'm trying to build a management front-end for an API and ActiveResource + RailsAdmin would seem to be an ideal solution.

FYI I've been working on a Neo4j adaptor here: https://github.com/cheerfulstoic/rails_admin

I expect it will be done relatively soon

[mshibuya]

@cheerfulstoic That's a great news! Good luck with your work 😎

@cheerfulstoic Any news about Neo4j adapter? I need that and I am willing to help. Please let me know.

[cheerfulstoic]

@dapicester Sorry, I haven't been working on it lately ;( I do hope to get back to it, but help would definitely be welcome!

The quick lowdown:

As I said, it's here: https://github.com/cheerfulstoic/rails_admin

The master branch is more or less working. The problem is there are a few bugs and the tests need to be gotten into order. I basically copied the MongoDB tests. That work is in the fixing_specs branch.

I would definitely be happy to answer questions (my colleague on the Neo4j.rb project and I hang out on Gitter https://gitter.im/neo4jrb/neo4j ).

@cheerfulstoic commenting here since forked repos on GH can't have issues.

1. Would love to see your PR landed.
2. Having issues when searching on RailsAdmin, query looks like it's using WHERE (n.$or IN {n_or}) which doesn't seem to work with Regex.

Happy to try and patch if you point me in the right direction.
