Master repository has moved to gitlab, all new code will be there:

https://gitlab.com/rocket-science/rails_admin_state

Allows easily sending state_machine events to a model from Rails Admin, including support for ActiveRecord \ Mongoid and custom state field name and multiple state machines per model.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rails_admin_state'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rails_admin_state

Add the state action:

RailsAdmin.config do |config|
  config.actions do
    ......
    state
  end
end

Mark the field you need display as state:

rails_admin do
  list do
    field :state, :state
    ...
  end
  edit do
    field :state, :state
    ...
  end
  ...
end

rails_admin do
  list do
    field :state, :state
    ...
  end
  ...
  state({
    events: {dead: 'btn-danger', drain: 'btn-warning', alive: 'btn-success'},
    states: {dead: 'label-important', drain: 'label-warning', alive: 'label-success'}
    disable: [:dead] # disable some events so they are not shown.
  })
end

Some classes are preset by default (published, deleted, etc)

cannot :manage, Recipes::Recipe
can :read, Recipes::Recipe
can :state, Recipes::Recipe # required to do any transitions
can :all_events, Recipes::Recipe

Just as usual for state_machine, see:

https://rdoc.info/github/pluginaweek/state_machine/master/StateMachine/Integrations/Mongoid

https://rdoc.info/github/pluginaweek/state_machine/master/StateMachine/Integrations/ActiveRecord

For namespaced models use "/", just as usual: "Blog::Post" is "blog/post"

State name set this way is also used in .human_state_name, error messages, etc
