How to add custom filter to Active Admin?

Question

Active Admin allows me to define filters that are displayed on the index page like so:

ActiveAdmin.register Promo do

  filter :name
  filter :address
  filt         


        

Answer 1

Active Admin uses the meta_search gem for its filters. ORed conditions syntax allows to combine several fields in one query, for example

Promo.metasearch(:name_or_address_contains => 'brooklyn')

In Active Admin DSL this translates to

ActiveAdmin.register Promo do

  filter :name_or_address, :as => :string

end
