ActiveElement is a Ruby on Rails framework primarily intended for building admin applications with minimal effort.

An authorization framework is provided, intended to work alongside existing frameworks such as Devise, Pundit, and CanCanCan.

ActiveElement is designed to avoid the all-or-nothing approach that many frameworks provide, allowing you to build a fully functional administration tool in minutes, while still allowing you to customize every aspect of your application. ActiveElement is just a Rails application with extra features: when you need to build custom functionality, you do it the same way you would any other Rails application and you can use as much or as little of ActiveElement as you like.

Take a look at the Setup Guide to build your first ActiveElement application and see how easily you can mix in standard Rails behaviours.

• Build an entire application by defining models and controllers with just a few lines of configuration in each controller.
• Components that can be re-used throughout your application.
• Feature-rich forms including a powerful JSON form field component.
• Simple and secure auto-suggest text search widgets.
• Decorators for overriding default display fields with simple Rails view partials.
• Automated route-based permissions that can be applied to all application endpoints with minimal effort.
• Bootstrap styling with customizable themes.
