Usage

• Generate your model

        t.integer :language_id

  • if this model would have a custom url and the relative layout, go to the friendly_id page to make the correct install
  • we can define on the model this attributes to be used for page SEO:

  • text :meta_keywords
  • string :meta_title
  • boolean :robot_follow
  • boolean :robot_index

• include the model decorator

  
  
   include Alchemy::Custom::Model::ModelDecoration

* attach yours belongs_to relations to alchemy_elements
```ruby

    # For attachments, the foreign_key is the key defined in the model, can be omitted if it's standard Rails naming
    belongs_to :file, class_name: "Alchemy::Attachment", optional: true, foreign_key: :file_id
    global_id_setter :file

    # For Pictures
    belongs_to :picture, class_name: 'Alchemy::Picture', optional: true, touch: true
    global_id_setter :picture

• Generate your controller:

  bin/rails g controller Admin::Posts

• inherit from Alchemy::Custom::Model::Admin::BaseController

• Create the routes (prepend it to alchemy routes and alchemy_custom_model routes)

• Build the ability for your recipe:

  class PostAbility
  include CanCan::Ability
  
  def initialize(user)
    if user.present? && (user.is_admin? or user.has_role?("editor"))
      can :manage, Post #model
      can :manage, :admin_posts #routes to the posts withouth _path
    end
  end
  
  end

• build the abilities in ad initializer Es: "menu_and_abilities.rb"

  Alchemy::Modules.register_module({
                                       name: 'Posts', # custom name
                                       order: 2,
                                       navigation: {
                                           name: 'modules.posts',
                                           controller: '/admin/posts', #controller path
                                           action: 'index', #action
                                           icon: "question" # custom icon
                                       }
                                   })
  Alchemy.register_ability(PostAbility)
