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.
