Changelog

All notable changes to MVC::Keayl::Admin are documented here.

[0.9.0] - 2026-07-11

Initial public release. A generated administration interface for MVC::Keayl applications. The admin mounts as an engine, delegates the model layer to ORM::ActiveRecord and view rendering to Template::HAML, and ships a Bootstrap 5, Bootstrap Icons, and HTMX frontend served through the asset pipeline.

Added

• Engine mounting so the admin attaches to a host MVC::Keayl application without the framework depending on the admin.
• Resource registration with an explicit DSL, backed by a registry of declared resources.
• Index pages with columns, sorting, and pagination.
• Index presentations and panels for laying out list views.
• Show pages with attribute and panel rendering, including nested belongs_to associations.
• Forms for create and update, with fields, formatters, and validation surfacing.
• A :label option on column and field to override the humanized column header or form label.
• An :html flag on column and attribute so a trusted display value renders as raw markup instead of being HTML-escaped, honored on the table, grid, and blog index presentations and on show-page attributes.
• Filters and search, with association filters that require an explicit collection so large tables are never enumerated into a dropdown, in an offcanvas panel rendered outside the htmx-swapped index body so sorting, paging, or filtering never tears down an open panel.
• Scopes for predefined, named record subsets.
• Destroy, batch, and custom actions, with per-action availability and a toolbar that groups batch controls on the left with the collection actions, New-record button, and Filters button on the right, and a footer row placing pagination and the record summary opposite the export links.
• Menu bar actions and a navigable left sidebar with a dashboard landing page.
• Nested resources.
• Data export.
• Authentication, with session and HTTP basic strategies.
• Authorization, with roles, abilities, and policies.
• Layout and chrome: a Django-style left sidebar of grouped, ordered menu entries and a right main content area, with page headings that name the current page and breadcrumbs limited to a nested resource's ancestor trail.
• Asset pipeline serving vendored Bootstrap 5, Bootstrap Icons, and HTMX, with progressive enhancement so every action degrades to a full-page request when JavaScript is disabled.
• Internationalization support.
• Inflection and pluralization helpers for generated labels and routes, title-casing each word of a label and dropping a trailing _id or _at suffix.
• keayl generate admin <Model> generator that reads the schema and writes explicit declarations for the developer to edit.
• Test support helpers for exercising admin resources.
