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.

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]

<%= crud_filter @books, fieldset: :index %> <%# filter sidebar (the model, or the list's scope) %>
