Extract Administrate into a Rails gem

Merged Administrator requested to merge engine into master

Created by: gracewashere

No functional changes, just pulling code out into an engine

The engine lives in the administrate/ folder in the root of the repository.

  • Namespace everything in Administrate:: module
  • Prefix generators with Administrate::Generators::

Generators are now run as:

rails generate administrate:install
rails generate administrate:dashboard customer
  • Create a new Rails engine for Administrate
    • Command: rails plugin new administrate --mountable
  • Move lib/administrate folder to engine
  • Extract controllers and views to engine
  • Move administrate javascript to engine
    • also copied over the jQuery dependency - we'll likely want to remove this later.
