rails_admin throw ActionController::InvalidAuthenticityToken when I want to create model

rails version 5.1.2 with --api mode
rails_admin version 1.2.0

change config.api_only from true to false in application.rb fix the problem idk why, anyone care to explain?

I think its related with this #2830
adding these stack into rails middleware also fix this

# application.rb
config.session_store :cookie_store
config.middleware.use ActionDispatch::Cookies
config.middleware.use ActionDispatch::Session::CookieStore, config.session_options
config.middleware.use Rack::MethodOverride

Thank you, this fixed it. But I don't get why this worked, can you explain? @buncismamen

@visheshruparelia because rails-api remove some middleware stacks that rails admin needs.
so you just need to re-added it.
