How To Make ActiveAdmin Load Particular Data For Index

Question

This is what I want. I have table called some x and I added this table in Active Admin Page. What happens after I added is that it loads all the data in that table for index page. But I want to load only data that are true for some conditions.

Say for example table x has one column called val and the values in the table are val(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10). I want to only load values that are greater than 5. How to do this in Active Admin?

Answer 1

You can override scoped_collection method. For this in AR model create a scope:

scope :greater_then_five, -> { where("some_attribute >= ?", 5) } # any condition you need

And then simply use this scope in AA:

  controller do
    def scoped_collection
      MyModel.greater_then_five
    end
  end

This way you'll have the data fetched from database and used by AA filtered.
