What it does
Avo is a Ruby on Rails toolkit for building internal tools and admin panels, providing a head start on development with pre-built features and customization options.
Install / run
Add the Avo gem to your Rails project by running the command `bundle add avo`
When to use it
•You need to quickly build an admin panel for your startup's application
•You want to create internal tools for your team without spending too much time on development
•You're already using Ruby on Rails and want to leverage a pre-built toolkit for internal tooling
Quick start
1Run `rails generate avo:install` to set up Avo in your Rails project
2Configure Avo by editing the `config/avo.yml` file to define your tools and features
3Create a new tool by running `rails generate avo:tool MyTool` and editing the generated files
4Start the Rails server with `rails s` and access Avo at `http://localhost:3000/avo`
5Customize the Avo layout and design by editing the `app/views/avo/layout.erb` file
Ready-to-paste prompt
Run `rails generate avo:tool UserManagement` to create a new tool for managing users, and then access it at `http://localhost:3000/avo/tools/user_management`
Heads up: Make sure you have Ruby on Rails version 6 or higher installed, as Avo is not compatible with earlier versions
