A plok:sidebar generator was added that'll copy over the necessary markup files for a mobile-friendly sidebar component in your backend:

bin/rails g plok:sidebar

Note that it will only copy markup files so as to guarantee uniform functionality across our backends, especially in regards to the JS. Meanwhile, custom changes or additions to the CSS should be made in supplementary files.

You might want to add something to a Plok model at some point. As an example, let's override Log.

First, create a config/initializers/plok.rb file that contains the following:

Rails.configuration.to_prepare do
  require Rails.root.join('app/models/log.rb')
end

Then create the model file referenced above, and use class_eval to override it.

Log.class_eval do
  mount_uploader :file, LogFileUploader

  def foo
    'bar'
  end
end

You'll be able to add to the model without removing any of its features. You could also override any of its methods or scopes, if you know what you're doing.
