# REST API integration

Recipe contributed (opens new window) by santhanakarthikeyan (opens new window).

I've built a page using AVO + REST API without using the ActiveRecord model. I was able to build an index page + associated has_many index page. It would be great if we could offer this as a feature, I guess, Avo would be the only admin framework that can offer this feature in case we take it forward 👍

I've made it work along with Pagination, Filter and even search are easily doable.

app/avo/filters/grace_period.rb

class GracePeriod < Avo::Filters::BooleanFilter
  self.name = 'Grace period'

  def apply(_request, query, value)
    query.where(value)
  end

  def options
    {
      grace_period: 'Within graceperiod'
    }
  end
end
