Using Administrate with an API app

Created by: lesliev

I know the docs say to set config.api_only = false in config/application.rb but for those that want to keep API mode turned on, I was able to get Administrate to properly add and update records with the following workarounds:

1. Add these to config/application.rb

    # Enable Flash, Cookies, MethodOverride for Administrate Gem
    config.middleware.use ActionDispatch::Flash
    config.session_store :cookie_store
    config.middleware.use ActionDispatch::Cookies
    config.middleware.use ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore, config.session_options
    config.middleware.use ::Rack::MethodOverride

2. Make sure routes in routes.rb generate routes for all 7 controller actions. Example:

  namespace :admin do
    %i(
      attachments
      assets
      posts
    ).each do |name|
      resources name, only: %i(index show new create edit update destroy)
    end
