I'm new to the gem rails_admin. I did some research but couldn't find a specific explanation that works well.
I already setup everything, when go to localhost:3000/admin, the dashboard shows up. But how can I edit it's dashboard. I already know it's a external resource.
Link to gemfile: https://github.com/sferik/rails_admin
I think you can't change or remove Dashboard action in rails_admin. However, you can create your custom action which located on root.
Take a look at this link. There is a description for creation of custom actions.

I need to add some api for moobile to my existing project in rails. I am using devise gem for authentication. The first api needed are user registration, login, profile update , some posting feature etc.I am following https://github.com/lynndylanhurley/devise_token_auth this to create api, but it creates user.rb and migration as well as a duplicate routes. Am I doing something wrong. Please help me to solve the issue . Thanks in advance
I have added devise token authentication for api. Also created a seperate application controller for api's. All the api controller extends this application controller. The api routes starts with /api/
Documentation says:
A model will be created in the app/models directory. If the model already exists, a concern will be included at the top of the file.
And
A migration file will be created in the db/migrate directory. Inspect the migrations file, add additional columns if necessary, and then run the migration:
So
Can I use this gem alongside standard Devise?
Yes! But you will need to enable the support of separate routes for standard Devise.
https://github.com/lynndylanhurley/devise_token_auth#can-i-use-this-gem-alongside-standard-devise
Personally, I wouldn't use Devise for your authentication but would create a custom one next to Devise just for your API. Devise can become a bit buggy later on in the process when using it for API-authentication. Then for your authorization you could use Pundit. You might want to use Regulator next to it for controller namespaced authorization polices(it's not under development anymore, but it does the job).
There's a nice tutorial about this process:

Here you can find Pundit:
Pundit Gem
And here's the Regulator gem:

So I know I can install the mailer gem from here:
https://guides.spreecommerce.com/user/configuring_mail_methods.html
But it clearly says that generic action mailer settings are more favourable at the top of the page.
I have installed postmark which is sending emails fine in an extension I built. However Spree does not appear to be sending emails when I create an order for a customer. How can I turn these transactional emails on without the Spree mailer gem, as I want to use postmark on its own.
Also where the hell is the listed email section from the documentation?
https://guides.spreecommerce.com/developer/deployment_tips.html
Thanks for any help!
You can set up emails by adding the gem at https://github.com/spree-contrib/spree_mail_settings
Not sure if the message at the top of the page has been changed since this question was posted but it says to use that gem now.
Add gem 'spree_mail_settings', github: 'spree-contrib/spree_mail_settings' to you gemfile and you will get a new page in the admin settings for setting up your email
An update for those facing this issue in 2021:
It's not recommended to use this gem. Instead, use a standard rails configuration: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/action_mailer_basics.html#action-mailer-configuration

I've go the rails-settings (https://github.com/ledermann/rails-settings) gem to work on the command line, but have no idea how to set the values through a view. How should I go about this?
This answer here: How to create a form for the rails-settings plugin isn't working for me as I think it is for an old version of the gem/version of rails.
I am trying to create a gem which will create a page for your rails site say example.com/data and this page will show certain statistics about current rails installation say version etc.
Now I have created the gem using
bundle gem my_gem
but little unsure how to create a page through lib/my_gem.rb, can someone guide me here ? Thanks
A way I've done it in the past was to make a mountable Rails engine and mount that into your routes configuration. Here's a railscast on it:

Hi ive got devise and the invitable plugin working but Id like to set a default limit on how many people a user can invite.
According to the documentaion on github it mentions that you can set this number via invitation_limit
however ive tried using this in devises config file but it complains of undefined method.
I checked the source and theres definately an invitation_limit attribute being decremented. I tried adding this as an attribute to my users model but it still complains.
How do you setup this up????
My guess is that you are using the version of the devise_invitable gem that does not include "invitation_limit." You will need to use at least v0.4.rc5 to get all the new coolness that the documentation talks about. It's definitely a little confusing. Your Gemfile should look like this:
gem 'devise', '~>1.2.0'
gem 'devise_invitable', '~>0.4.rc5'
See here for a more in depth write-up about this issue with devise_invitable.
