ActiveAdmin add filter to form

Question

I have some properties on an active admin model, which can have a LOT of different values, so right now I\'m displaying them using checkboxes:

  PropertyType         


        

Answer 1

Yes. Check out chosen_rails gem.

In active_admin it will look something like this:

f.input :property_values,
  label: pt.display_name,
  as: :check_boxes,
  collection: pt.property_values.order(name: :asc, display_name: :asc).load,
  input_html: { class: 'chosen-select' },
  multiple: true

The only thing I haven't tried it with check_boxes, but with as: :select, and it works perfectly. I think select would be doing the same for you, since you have multiple: true
