Question

I want to use jquery-token-input with has_many relationship inside active_admin.

What is the best way to do it, and how can i implement it generically so that i can re-use the code for further has_many relationships.

I will be looking forward for your suggestion and guide lines.

Well, this doesn’t use jquery-token-input, but it works!

I used Chosen.

Download the CSS, JS and png files and put into the appropriate assets directory.

In /app/admin/modelname.rb

ActiveAdmin.register Modlename do

#Customize create and edit form
form do |f|
    f.inputs do
       f.input :name
       f.input :othermodel, :input_html => { :class => "chosen-input" }
    end
  f.buttons
  end   
end  

In active_admin.js

//= require chosen.jquery.min

$(document).ready(function(){
   $(".chosen-input").chosen();
});

In active_admin.css.scss

/*
   *= require chosen
*/
