Is there a Rails admin interface that supports MongoDB and Devise?

Question

I recently switched to MongoDB and I am wondering if I can continue using any of the popular admin interface solutions, such as ActiveScaffold and Typus?

Custom actions

Automatic form validation

Search and filtering

Export data to CSV/JSON/XML

Authentication (via Devise or other)

Authorization (via CanCanCan or Pundit)

User action history (via PaperTrail)

Supported ORMs

ActiveRecord

Mongoid

Mongoid is supported now. You'll get nested forms for embedded documents automatically which is cool. Really. – Benoit B. Mar 23 '12 at 12:45

ActiveAdmin https://github.com/gregbell/active_admin is a great tool for the admin interface creation. And I believe sooner or later they add mongoid support.

Right now there's some patch for it: https://github.com/ebeigarts/mongoid_active_admin_app I didn't try it myself though.

For some reason, this does not work in Rails 3.2.2, I get the error: `': superclass mismatch for class ResourceController (TypeError)` at line 22 of this file you mentioned: https://github.com/ebeigarts/mongoid_active_admin_app/blob/master/config/initializers/active_admin_mongoid_patches.rb – aren55555 Mar 06 '12 at 04:40

if your using Mongoid as your ORM, then active_admin should do the job.. apply this patch to get it working

this disables some functionalities (mostly filters because active_admin relies on meta_search and that gem only supports active_record)

Fixes ActiveAdmin sorting
Disables ActiveAdmin Filters/Search
Disables ActiveAdmin Comments

I think you'll find this page on MongoDB's site to be the best help:

http://www.mongodb.org/display/DOCS/Admin+UIs

There are many admin applications available, some in browser, some fat client, etc. that you can use for admin and maintaining your Mongo backend.

I am a .Net programmer so I have used only MongoVUE, but one that caught my eye that I might check out and it should be platform agnostic is JMongoBrowser

I'd bet plenty options will work with a RAILS setup.
