Ash_admin it not generating default action forms

mrsnow

Hey.
I have a simple resource with just the default actions :read, :create, :update and added ash_admin to the project. But i can’t get ash_admin to work to generate the default forms.

This is the resource:

defmodule Elephouse.TodoList.Todo do
  use Ash.Resource,
    domain: Elephouse.TodoList,
    data_layer: AshPostgres.DataLayer

  postgres do
    table "todos"
    repo Elephouse.Repo
  end

  actions do
    defaults [:read, :create, :update]
  end

  attributes do
    uuid_v7_primary_key :id
    create_timestamp :created_at
    update_timestamp :updated_at

    attribute :title, :string do
      allow_nil? false
    end

    attribute :due_at, :naive_datetime

    attribute :completed, :boolean do
      default :false
    end

    attribute :completed_at, :naive_datetime

    attribute :hashes, :string
  end

  relationships do
    belongs_to :owner, Elephouse.Accounts.User
  end
end

My used deps:

defp deps do
    [
      {:phoenix, "~> 1.7.14"},
      {:phoenix_ecto, "~> 4.5"},
      {:ecto_sql, "~> 3.10"},
      {:postgrex, ">= 0.0.0"},
      {:phoenix_html, "~> 4.1"},
      {:phoenix_live_reload, "~> 1.2", only: :dev},
      # TODO bump on release to {:phoenix_live_view, "~> 1.0.0"},
      {:phoenix_live_view, "~> 1.0.0-rc.1", override: true},
      {:floki, ">= 0.30.0", only: :test},
      {:phoenix_live_dashboard, "~> 0.8.3"},
      {:esbuild, "~> 0.8", runtime: Mix.env() == :dev},
      {:tailwind, "~> 0.2", runtime: Mix.env() == :dev},
      {:heroicons,
       github: "tailwindlabs/heroicons",
       tag: "v2.1.1",
       sparse: "optimized",
       app: false,
       compile: false,
       depth: 1},
      {:swoosh, "~> 1.5"},
      {:finch, "~> 0.13"},
      {:telemetry_metrics, "~> 1.0"},
      {:telemetry_poller, "~> 1.0"},
      {:gettext, "~> 0.20"},
      {:jason, "~> 1.2"},
      {:dns_cluster, "~> 0.1.1"},
      {:bandit, "~> 1.5"},
      {:ash, "~> 3.0"},
      {:ash_authentication, "~> 4.0"},
      {:ash_authentication_phoenix, "~> 2.0"},
      {:ash_postgres, "~> 2.0"},
      {:ash_phoenix, "~> 2.0"},
      {:picosat_elixir, "~> 0.2.3"},
      {:ecto_psql_extras, "~> 0.8"},
      {:ash_admin, "~> 0.11.3"}
    ]
  end

Anyone a suggestion? Every help would be nice. Thanks.

@mrsnow In your Domain Elephouse.TodoList did you:

add the extension

use Ash.Domain, extensions: [AshAdmin.Domain]

admin do
    show?(true)
end

@netProphET Yes i did that:

defmodule Elephouse.TodoList do
  use Ash.Domain,
    extensions: [AshAdmin.Domain]

  admin do
    show? true
  end

  resources do
    resource Elephouse.TodoList.Todo
  end
end

I’m seeing the admin interface and seeing the domains and resources in the admin interface but i don’t get generated forms from the default actions.

Can you show a screenshot/video of what your admin app looks like? If you click into the Todo resource, you should see Create/Read buttons. If you click into an individual row when looking at a read action, you should see an update button.

Create Todo:

Update Todo:

I assumed that there will be generated forms with the default actions.
Maybe my assumption is wrong?

Ah, so the forms are based on the inputs your actions accept. By default, that is none.

 actions do
    defaults [:read, create: [:list, :of, :fields], update: [:list, :of, :fields]]
  end

Thank you. So my assumption was not correct. Thanks for clarification.

Would it be reasonable to expect this

actions do
  defaults [:read, :destroy, create: :*, update: :*]
end

to generate forms with all inputs rendered? That is the behavior I was expecting, which lead me to this thread. In practice it renders no inputs in the form.
