Default date range filter in ActiveAdmin rails

Question

I have an ActiveAdmin class which has a date_range filter as

filter :creation_time

having a start date and end date calender input. I want to add default range i.e. from today's date to tomorrow's date when the dashboard is loaded for the first time. So I tried to do like this :

before_filter only: [:index] do
  params[:q] = {creation_time: Date.today..Date.tomorrow} if params[:commit].blank?
end

But this is not working. How to add default date range here?

it didn't work because it is wrong place to patch the filters or it didn't produce correct query? — NeverBe
@NeverBe It is producing the wrong query . It is not taking filter under consideration. without filter it is producing query — abhishek

So, I figured it out myself. It can be done as :

before_filter only: [:index] do
  params[:q] = {creation_time_gteq: Date.today, creation_time_lteq: Date.tomorrow} if params[:commit].blank?
end
