Discreet Information

Sometimes you need to have some information available on the record page, but not necesarily front-and-center. This is where the Discreet Information option is handy.

# app/avo/resources/post.rb
class Avo::Resources::Post < Avo::BaseResource
  self.discreet_information = [
    :timestamps,
    {
      tooltip: -> { sanitize("Product is <strong>#{record.published_at ? "published" : "draft"}</strong>", tags: %w[strong]) },
      icon: -> { "heroicons/outline/#{record.published_at ? "eye" : "eye-slash"}" }
    },
    {
      label: -> { record.published_at ? "🚀" : "😬" },
      url: -> { "https://avohq.io" },
      url_target: :_blank
    }
  ]
end

Display the id

To save field space, you can use the discreet information area to display the id of the current record.

Set the option to the :id value and the id will be added next to the title.

# app/avo/resources/post.rb
class Avo::Resources::Post < Avo::BaseResource
  self.discreet_information = :id

  # fields and other resource configuration
end

You can alternatively use :id_badge to display the id as a badge.

Display the created_at and updated_at timestamps

The reason why we built this feature was that we wanted a place to display the created and updated at timestamps but didn't want to use up a whole field for it. That's why this is the most simple thing to add.

Set the option to the :timestamps value and a new icon will be added next to the title. When the user hovers over the icon, they will see the record's default timestamps.

# app/avo/resources/post.rb
class Avo::Resources::Post < Avo::BaseResource
  self.discreet_information = :timestamps

  # fields and other resource configuration
end

If the record doesn't have the created_at or updated_at attributes, they will be ommited.

You can alternatively use :timestamps_badge to display the timestamps as a badge.

Options

You may fully customize the discreet information item by taking control of different options. To do that, you can set it to a Hash with various keys.

# app/avo/resources/post.rb
class Avo::Resources::Post < Avo::BaseResource
  self.discreet_information = {
    tooltip: -> { "Product is #{record.published_at ? "published" : "draft"}" },
    icon: -> { "heroicons/outline/#{record.published_at ? "eye" : "eye-slash"}" }
    url: -> { main_app.post_path record }
  }
end

-> tooltip

Use the tooltip option to set the body of the tooltip.

# app/avo/resources/post.rb
class Avo::Resources::Post < Avo::BaseResource
  self.discreet_information = {
    tooltip: -> { "Product is #{record.published_at ? "published" : "draft"}" },
  }
end

You may return HTML for that tooltip but don't forget to sanitize the output.

# app/avo/resources/post.rb
class Avo::Resources::Post < Avo::BaseResource
  self.discreet_information = {
    tooltip: -> { sanitize("Product is <strong>#{record.published_at ? "published" : "draft"}</strong>", tags: %w[strong]) },
    icon: "heroicons/outline/academic-cap"
  }
end

-> url

The url option will transform the icon into a link.

# app/avo/resources/post.rb
class Avo::Resources::Post < Avo::BaseResource
  self.discreet_information = {
    tooltip: -> { "Product is #{record.published_at ? "published" : "draft"}" },
    icon: "heroicons/outline/academic-cap",
    url: -> { main_app. }
  }
end

-> as

The as option specifies the type of representation. Currently, only :badge is supported, but additional types may be introduced in the future.

# app/avo/resources/post.rb
class Avo::Resources::Post < Avo::BaseResource
  self.discreet_information = {
    tooltip: -> { "Product is #{record.published_at ? "published" : "draft"}" },
    icon: "heroicons/outline/academic-cap",
    url: -> { main_app. },
    as: :badge
  }
end

Display multiple pieces of information

You can use it to display one or more pieces of information.
