Table Cards

How this page is built the gem renders it — this is all you write

A full table — search, an inline filter row, sortable columns and row actions — all derived from the model. This page toggles between the curated :index and the fuller :catalog fieldset (currently :index). Your controller assigns @books — scope it for authorization (e.g. Book.accessible_by(current_ability)) and the gem renders that scope.

app/models/book.rb

crud_structure do
  attribute :price, as: :number, unit: '€', digits: 2
  fieldset :index,   %i[cover title author_names genre price publisher active]
  fieldset :catalog, %i[cover title subtitle author_names genre price purchase_price
                        shop_margin pages published_on publisher reviews active manual created_at]
