The Endless Engine 97
How this page is built
the gem renders it — this is all you write
crud_record renders the record as a definition list with the same type-aware cells as the table. The column picker is reusable here too: crud_column_picker @book (the gear, top-right) submits ?cols= to this page, and crud_record @book, picked_columns: @visible narrows the list to match — same mechanism as the table, no JS to open. Below it, an embedded reviews collection is static (query: :static). The URL is the book's slug (identify_by :slug).
app/controllers/books_controller.rb
@visible = CrudComponents.selected_columns(params) # the picker's ?cols=, for crud_record (persist it if you like)
app/views/books/show.html.erb
<%= crud_column_picker @book %> <%# the gear, reusable outside a table %>
<%= crud_record @book, picked_columns: @visible %> <%# honors the picker's selection %>
