Exactly. I know Django and Rails... The Django admin is still a huge selling point for me even today. I can get some class of application ready and running in no time with Django. With Rails, with no built in supported admin app it would take me way more time.
- mrPitPat 11y agoRails has this available via a gem: Active Admin (http://activeadmin.info/ http://activeadmin.info/).
- briandear 11y agoIt would take about as much time as it would take to add Active Admin or Rails Admin to the gemfile.
- vellum 11y agoThis is true. The Django admin works out of the box. Getting the activeadmin gem to work for Rails 4? Not so much: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16426398/active-admin-install-with-rails-4 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16426398/active-admin-in...
- arnvald 11y agoThis was a good point a few years ago. But since then there's been at least 3 good projects that allow you to easily add admin panel to rails app: Rails Admin: https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin Active Admin: https://github.com/activeadmin/activeadmin https://github.com/activeadmin/activeadmin Administrate: https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate https://github.com/thoughtbot/administrate
- batiste 11y agoI know there is many gems but I have still yet to see them used in the wild. My colleagues seems to avoid using them for some reasons and discouraged me to even try them. Maybe the strength of Django is having the admin by default so most Django app (gems) comes with a admin and those admins aggregate together in a coherent admin application.
