ANN: Roar offers automated rails, 0.5.0

Rails

I’m happy to announce Roar, a rails plugin that provides an automated
admin framework for Rails resources, through a Domain Specific
Language (DSL) in the controller. Full support for CRUD, model
relationships, custom widgets, and customization.

A simple example illustrates what it looks like:

class PostController < ApplicationController
roar :prefix => “admin” do
order “created_at DESC”

table do
  edit :title
  date :created_at
end

form do
  text_field :title
  text_area :body
end

end

def index
# public view here
end
end

This provides a full admin interface that lives at /admin/posts.

Check out an online demo where you can see the plugin in use (log in
to see the backend, and inplace editing) at http://roardemo.nanoware.com

The demo app and plugin source code is available at the rubyforge
project:
http://rubyforge.org/project/roar
