Anonymous declarations on Actions, Cards, Scopes, etc..

[Paul-Bob]

Feature

Currently when we want to register an action, card, filter, scope, etc.. we need to create a new class first.

Let's make it possible to register them anonymously, directly in the resource file.

Something like this:

class Avo::Resources::User < Avo::BaseResource
  def actions
    action title: "Toggle inactive",
      icon: "heroicons/outline/globe",
      visible: -> { record.active? },
      handler: -> { records.update_all(active: !record.active) }
  end
end

This will register an action with the given options and make it available in the resource.

Something similar can be done for cards, filters, scopes, etc..

class Avo::Resources::User < Avo::BaseResource
  def scopes
    scope name: "Even", description: "Only even numbers", query: -> { ... }
    scope name: "Odd", description: "Only odd numbers", query: -> { ... }
  end
end

This will register two scopes with the given options and make them available in the resource.

Hi @zhephyn, thanks for your interest in this one!

Unfortunately, this issue doesn’t have a clear approach yet and involves access to private repositories.

In the meantime, there are some issues labeled "Help wanted" and "Good first issue". Let us know if you’d like to pick one up!

Thanks!
