This ActiveAdmin configuration defines an interface for managing Limit records within your application. The configuration provides a form for creating and updating records, and organizes these records under the "Configuration" menu with the label "Limits." Here's a detailed breakdown of the setup:

1. Menu Configuration

• menu parent: 'Configuration', label: 'Limits':
  This adds the Limit resource to the "Configuration" menu in ActiveAdmin with the label "Limits."

2. Permitted Parameters

• permit_params :name, :slug, :amount, :units, :time_frame, :currency, :status:
  This line specifies the parameters that are allowed to be submitted through forms. It ensures that only the listed attributes can be mass-assigned, protecting against unwanted data changes.

3. Sorting Configuration

• config.sort_order = 'name_asc':
  This sets the default sort order for the index page of the Limit resource, sorting the records by the name field in ascending order.

4. Form Configuration

• form do |f|:
  This block defines the form that will be used to create or edit Limit records.

  • Form Fields:

  • f.input :name: Input for the limit's name.

  • f.input :slug: Input for the slug, typically a URL-friendly version of the name.

  • f.input :amount: Input for the limit amount.

  • f.input :units: Input for the units associated with the limit (e.g., transactions, dollars).

  • f.input :time_frame: Input for the time frame over which the limit applies (e.g., daily, monthly).

  • f.input :currency: Input for the currency associated with the limit.

  • f.input :status, as: :select, collection: ['active', 'inactive']: A dropdown for selecting the status of the limit, with options for "active" and "inactive."

  • Form Actions:
    f.actions generates the submit and cancel buttons for the form.

Summary

This configuration creates a straightforward interface for managing Limit records in your application via ActiveAdmin. It organizes the resource under the "Configuration" menu, allows admins to create or update limits with relevant attributes, and provides a clean and user-friendly form with input fields and a status selector. The default sorting by name helps administrators quickly locate specific limits in the index view.
