How to
-----

Add to Gemfile

gem 'rails-settings-ui'

If you want to use bootstrap interface you need also include bootstrap stylesheets to your app.
You may use [bootstrap-sass](https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass) gem for that.

Setup:

# adds initializer and route:
rails g rails_settings_ui:install

Config
------------

In config/initializers/rails_settings_ui.rb

RailsSettingsUi.setup do |config|
config.ignored_settings = [:company_name] # Settings not displayed in the interface
config.settings_class = "MySettings" # Customize settings class name
config.settings_displayed_as_select_tag = [:mode] # Settings displayed as select tag instead of checkbox group field
config.defaults_for_settings = {mode: :manual} # Default option values for select tags
config.engine_name = "your engine name" # Default use 'main_app', if you mount this engine to another engine, then set name of engine
end

Routing
-------

# engine root:
rails_settings_ui_url

I18n
-------------

You can localize:

* Settings names, eg:

```yaml
settings:
attributes:
launch_mode: # setting name
name: 'Launch mode'
```

* Checkbox options labels for array options, eg:

```yaml
settings:
attributes:
launch_mode:
labels:
auto: 'Auto mode'
manual: 'Manual mode'
```

* Select options labels and values, eg:

```yaml
settings:
attributes:
buy_mode:
labels:
auto: 'Auto buy' # 'auto' is option value, 'Auto buy' is option label
manual: 'Manual buy'
```

so result will be:

```html
Auto buy
Manual buy
```

if you don't specify labels in locale config, you'll get:

```html
auto
manual
```

* Help blocks for settings, eg:

```yaml
settings:
attributes:
launch_mode:
help_block: 'launch mode'
```

Validations
-------------

Validations work based on default value for setting or by explicitly specify type for setting, eg:

class Settings < RailsSettings::Base
cache_prefix { "v1" }

field :company_name, type: :string, default: "Company name"
field :head_name, default: "Head name"
field :manager_premium, default: 19
field :show_contract_fields, default: true
field :launch_mode, default: [:auto, :manual]
end

Views
-------------

Default layout is `application`, but you can render all rails-settings-ui views inside your app layout
(for nice looking you will need include bootstrap, eg: `@import 'bootstrap';` in your applications.css.scss):

Rails.application.config.to_prepare do
# Use admin layout:
RailsSettingsUi::ApplicationController.module_eval do
layout 'admin'
end
# If you are using a custom layout, you will want to make app routes available to rails-setting-ui:
RailsSettingsUi.inline_engine_routes! # old name of method inline_main_app_routes!
end

Authentication & authorization
------------------------------

You can specify the parent controller for settings controller, and it will inherit all before filters.
Note that this must be placed before any other references to rails-setting-ui application controller in the initializer:

RailsSettingsUi.parent_controller = 'Admin::ApplicationController' # default: '::ApplicationController'

Alternatively, to have custom rules just for rails-setting-ui you can:

Rails.application.config.to_prepare do
RailsSettingsUi::ApplicationController.module_eval do
before_action :check_settings_permissions

private

def check_settings_permissions
render status: 403 unless current_user && can_manage_settings?(current_user)
end
end
end

Issues
-------------

* If you wish to use route helpers for your app in parent controllers of `RailsSettingsUi::ApplicationController`, you must call helpers for `main_app`, for example: `main_app.root_path`
