Extend Avo using regular Rails code and partials

We're developers too. We know how it feels to be "stuck" in a piece of software so we made Avo so you can't get stuck.

Whenever you need to create something custom, you have escape hatches built-in at different levels where you can do that. At field, resource, or page level.

Use regular Rails code to add the functionality you think it's missing. From request, to controller, to partial.

Avo is packaged as a Ruby gem which you can install into your own Rails apps. This makes for a better upate experience where you don't have merge conflicts or issues with your app and the updates.

No. Avo is a package that you can install into your own Rails apps and reads the data from your database. Then, using code-based configuration, you can customize the admin panel to your liking. You can use it on a limited set of resources, have it drive your entire backoffice or use it to build internal tools for specific use cases. That's how flexible Avo is.

No. Out of the box, Avo doesn't add any tables or modify your database in any form. There are some advanced features that require adding tables to your database but they're optional and you can use Avo without them.

No, Avo is not a CMS but it's very well suited for building one if that's what your application needs. You can either quickly build one using Avo or integrate your app with a CMS of your liking.

I am a RoR developer and currently designing an admin panel with AVO. AVO is so intelligent and we can make our admin panel within hours. Thanks @adrianthedev for making this.
