Resource Sidebar

By default, all declared fields are going to be stacked vertically in the main area. But there are some fields with information that needs to be displayed in a smaller area, like boolean, date, and badge fields. Those fields don't need all that horizontal space and can probably be displayed in a different space. That's we created the resource sidebar.

Adding fields to the sidebar

Using the sidebar block on a resource you may declare fields the same way you woul don the root level.

class UserResource < Avo::BaseResource
  field :id, as: :id, link_to_resource: true
  field :first_name, as: :text, placeholder: "John"
  field :last_name, as: :text, placeholder: "Doe"

  sidebar do
    field :email, as: :gravatar, link_to_resource: true, as_avatar: :circle, only_on: :show
    field :active, as: :boolean, name: "Is active", only_on: :show
  end
end

INFO

For this initial iteration you may use the field and heading helpers.

The fields will be stacked in a similar way in a narrower area on the side of the main panel. You may notice that inside each field, the tabel and value zones are also stacked one on top of the other to allow for a larger area to display the field value.
