SolidusUserGuides

Provides a user guide for each page on admin for quick referencing & easier onboarding of admin users.

Adding/Editing User Guides

The user guide text lives in Rails.configuration.user_guides. The entries are contextual, based on controller_name and action_name. For instance, the entry for the orders#index page is located at Rails.configuration.user_guides[:orders][:index].

You can edit the existing definitions in an initializer. Similarly, you can also add new definitions this way.

# config/initializers/change_user_guide.rb

# Editing existing definitions
Rails.configuration.user_guides["orders"]["index"] = "Replacing old definitions"

# Adding new definitions
new_definitions = {"bah": {"humbug": "New definition"}}
Rails.configuration.user_guides.merge! new_definitions
