Manage information-heavy resources

Hey y'all - we've got a very information heavy app where there are pretty distinct differences between the data we display on index, show, & form views as well as how it's ordered.

We created a concern for our resources to make organizing this a bit easier, would love y'all's thoughts/feedback as to whether this could be a valuable feature! Example gist: https://gist.github.com/davidlormor/d1d7e32a3568f6a9b3540669e7f601dc

We went with a concern because I ran into inheritance issues trying to create a BaseResource class (issues with Avo's model_class expectations) and monkey-patching Avo::BaseResource seemed to cause issues with Rails' autoloading/zeitwork?

class ExampleResource < Avo::BaseResource
  include ResourceExtensions

  field :id, as: :id
  field :name, as: :text

  index do
    field :some_field, as: :text
    field :some_index_field, as: :text, sortable: true
  end

  show do
    field :some_show_field, as: :markdown
    field :some_field, as: :text
  end

  create do
    field :some_create_field, as: :number
  end

  edit do
    field :some_create_field, as: :number, readonly: true
    field :some_field
    field :some_editable_field, as: :text
  end
end

require "active_support/concern"

module ResourceExtensions
  extend ActiveSupport::Concern

  class_methods do
    def index(&block)
      with_options only_on: :index, &block
    end

    def show(&block)
      with_options only_on: :show, &block
    end

    def create(&block)
      with_options only_on: :new, &block
    end

    def edit(&block)
      with_options only_on: :edit, &block
    end
  end
end
