Question

I want to override some activeadmin views, and I stumbled across some files with the .arb extension and I don’t know what kind of code to write in them ( seems like plain Ruby, but I’m not sure ). How can I find out what renders a certain kind of extension?

I tried to search for this, but unfortunately I couldn’t find any relevant results.

Answer 1

The file extension goes to Arbre which is embedded inside Active Admin. The only documentation is the code. The author has stated he intends to make it a gem. He has started a gem (version 0.0.1) but there is no documentation there either.

Note that the “tokens” are defined as AUTO_BUILD_ELEMENTS.
