Grid view

Some resources are best displayed in a grid view. The grid view enables you to display the resource using an image (:preview), a title (:title) and a sub-title (:body). To enable grid view in a resource you need to declare it in the resource initializer.

module Avo
  module Resources
    class Post < Resource
      def initialize
        @title = :name
        @search = [:name, :id]
        @default_view_type = :grid
      end
    end
  end
end

You add and configure your fields as you regularly do in the fields block, then, the next step is to tell Avo which fields are which in grid view.

  fields do
    id
    text :name, required: true
    textarea :body
    file :cover_photo, is_image: true
  end

  grid do
    preview :cover_photo
    title :name
    body :body
  end

This will render the Post resource index view as a grid view using the selected fields. You also get a button to toggle between the two view types :grid and :table.
