About

Trestle builds an admin from small per-resource definition files, without asking you
to change your models.

What you get

  • A resource DSL for tables, forms, scopes and search
  • Bootstrap-based responsive UI
  • Custom admin pages when a resource is not the right shape
  • Hooks for whatever authentication you already run

Mounting it

ruby
# Gemfile
gem "trestle"
rails generate trestle:install
rails generate trestle:resource Engine

Mounts at /admin.

Licensing note

Trestle is LGPL-3.0, not MIT. That is usually fine for a mounted engine, but check
it against your own policy before you commit.
