# MerbAdmin

**MerbAdmin is a Merb plugin that provides an easy-to-use interface for managing your data.**

It currently offers the features listed [here](http://sferik.tadalist.com/lists/1352791/public).

## Get it

At the command prompt, type:

    sudo gem install merb-admin -s http://gemcutter.org

## Install it

In your app, add the following dependency to `config/dependencies.rb`:

    dependency "merb-admin", "0.5.3"

Add the following route to `config/router.rb`:

    add_slice(:merb_admin, :path_prefix => "admin")

Then, run the following rake task:

    rake slices:merb-admin:install

## Configure it (optional)

If you're feeling crafty, you can set a couple configuration options in `config/init.rb`:

    Merb::BootLoader.before_app_loads do
      Merb::Slices::config[:merb_admin][:app_name] = "My App"
      Merb::Slices::config[:merb_admin][:per_page] = 100
    end

## Run it

Start the server:

    merb

You should now be able to administer your site at [http://localhost:4000/admin](http://localhost:4000/admin).

Please report any problems you encounter to <sferik@gmail.com> or [@sferik](http://twitter.com/home/?status=@sferik%20) on Twitter.

## WARNING

MerbAdmin does not implement any authorization scheme. Make sure to apply authorization logic before deploying to production!
