Moving Active Admin index view into its own index.html.arb file

Question

I'm trying to move out some of the logic for the index/show/edit pages into their own view files. This is because my ActiveAdmin files are just getting to large and overwhelming.

At the moment I have active admin page like:

# /admin/products.rb
ActiveAdmin.register Product do
  index do
    selectable_column
    id_column
    column :name
  end
end

I want to move the index logic into a file like:

#/views/admin/products/index.html.arb
index do
  selectable_column
  id_column
  column :name
end

is this possible? I can't seem to find any docs or StackOverflow questions about it. Has anyone tried and done this?

Cheers.

Answer 1

To do so you'll have to create a file under views/admin/products/_index.html.whatever_extention

This view should use formtastic syntax, because it's what AA use for views generation.

Than, lastly, in index block render this partial:

index do
  render partial: 'index'
end
