Merge RailsAdmin config #1780
Description
I am developing a gem that installs RailsAdmin into a main application. The gem defines a document type (models) with basic attributes and RailsAdmin configuration. Other (yet to be developed) gems may define additional document types, such as invoice, order, ... - that require different attributes and, consequently, different RailsAdmin configuration.
The basic document type comes as a module, additional document types include the basic document type. If calling rails_admin do ... end multiple times, both in the module and the actual document class, configuration options will be overwritten. How can I merge different RailsAdmin configurations?
I need to be able to to this, for example:
module Base
extend ActiveSupport::Concern
included do
rails_admin do
parent Document
end
end
end
class Invoice
include Base
rails_admin do
navigation_icon 'icon-file'
end
end
After that, Invoice should have Document defined as its parent in RailsAdmin.
Can RailsAdmin do this? If not, how would I go about implementing this in RailsAdmin in a smart way and without reinventing the wheel?
Thanks...
