# Create an Index

If the supplied Active Admin index components are insufficient for your project
feel free to define your own. Index classes extend ActiveAdmin::Component and
require a build method and an index_name class method.

    module ActiveAdmin
      module Views
      	class IndexAsMyIdea < ActiveAdmin::Component

          def build(page_presenter, collection)
            ...
          end

          def self.index_name
            "my_idea"
          end

        end
      end
    end

The build method takes a PagePresenter object and collection of whatever you
choose.

The index_name class method takes no arguments and returns a string that should
be representative of the the class name. If this method is not defined, your
index component will not be able take advantage of Active Admin's
*multiple index pages* feature.
