# Rails::Engine allows you to wrap a specific Rails application and share it across
# different applications. Since Rails 3.0, every <tt>Rails::Application</tt> is nothing
# more than an engine, allowing you to share it very easily.
#
# Any <tt>Rails::Engine</tt> is also a <tt>Rails::Railtie</tt>, so the same methods
# (like <tt>rake_tasks</tt> and +generators+) and configuration available in the
# latter can also be used in the former.
#
# == Creating an Engine
#
# In Rails versions prior to 3.0, your gems automatically behaved as engines, however,
# this coupled Rails to Rubygems. Since Rails 3.0, if you want a gem to automatically
# behave as an engine, you have to specify an +Engine+ for it somewhere inside
# your plugin's +lib+ folder (similar to how we specify a +Railtie+):
#
# # lib/my_engine.rb
# module MyEngine
# class Engine < Rails::Engine
# end
# end
#
# Then ensure that this file is loaded at the top of your <tt>config/application.rb</tt>
# (or in your +Gemfile+) and it will automatically load models, controllers and helpers
# inside +app+, load routes at <tt>config/routes.rb</tt>, load locales at
# <tt>config/locales/*</tt>, and load tasks at <tt>lib/tasks/*</tt>.
#
# == Configuration
#
# Besides the +Railtie+ configuration which is shared across the application, in a
# <tt>Rails::Engine</tt> you can access <tt>autoload_paths</tt>, <tt>eager_load_paths</tt>
# and <tt>autoload_once_paths</tt>, which, differently from a <tt>Railtie</tt>, are scoped to
# the current engine.
#
# Example:
#
# class MyEngine < Rails::Engine
# # Add a load path for this specific Engine
# config.autoload_paths << File.expand_path("../lib/some/path", __FILE__)
#
# initializer "my_engine.add_middleware" do |app|
# app.middleware.use MyEngine::Middleware
# end
# end
#
# == Generators
#
# You can set up generators for engines with <tt>config.generators</tt> method:
#
# class MyEngine < Rails::Engine
# config.generators do |g|
# g.orm :active_record
# g.template_engine :erb
# g.test_framework :test_unit
# end
# end
#
# You can also set generators for an application by using <tt>config.app_generators</tt>:
#
# class MyEngine < Rails::Engine
# # note that you can also pass block to app_generators in the same way you
# # can pass it to generators method
# config.app_generators.orm :datamapper
# end
#
# == Paths
#
# Since Rails 3.0, both your application and engines do not have hardcoded paths.
# This means that you are not required to place your controllers at <tt>app/controllers</tt>,
# but in any place which you find convenient.
#
# For example, let's suppose you want to place your controllers in <tt>lib/controllers</tt>.
# All you would need to do is:
#
# class MyEngine < Rails::Engine
# paths["app/controllers"] = "lib/controllers"
# end
#
# You can also have your controllers loaded from both <tt>app/controllers</tt> and
# <tt>lib/controllers</tt>:
#
# class MyEngine < Rails::Engine
# paths["app/controllers"] << "lib/controllers"
# end
#
# The available paths in an engine are:
#
# class MyEngine < Rails::Engine
# paths["app"] # => ["app"]
# paths["app/controllers"] # => ["app/controllers"]
# paths["app/helpers"] # => ["app/helpers"]
# paths["app/models"] # => ["app/models"]
# paths["app/views"] # => ["app/views"]
# paths["lib"] # => ["lib"]
# paths["lib/tasks"] # => ["lib/tasks"]
# paths["config"] # => ["config"]
# paths["config/initializers"] # => ["config/initializers"]
# paths["config/locales"] # => ["config/locales"]
# paths["config/routes"] # => ["config/routes.rb"]
# end
#
# Your <tt>Application</tt> class adds a couple more paths to this set. And as in your
# <tt>Application</tt>,all folders under +app+ are automatically added to the load path.
# So if you have <tt>app/observers</tt>, it's added by default.
#
# == Endpoint
#
# An engine can be also a rack application. It can be useful if you have a rack application that
# you would like to wrap with +Engine+ and provide some of the +Engine+'s features.
#
# To do that, use the +endpoint+ method:
#
# module MyEngine
# class Engine < Rails::Engine
# endpoint MyRackApplication
# end
# end
#
# Now you can mount your engine in application's routes just like that:
#
# MyRailsApp::Application.routes.draw do
# mount MyEngine::Engine => "/engine"
# end
#
# == Middleware stack
#
# As an engine can now be rack endpoint, it can also have a middleware stack. The usage is exactly
# the same as in <tt>Application</tt>:
#
# module MyEngine
# class Engine < Rails::Engine
# middleware.use SomeMiddleware
# end
# end
#
# == Routes
#
# If you don't specify an endpoint, routes will be used as the default endpoint. You can use them
# just like you use an application's routes:
#
# # ENGINE/config/routes.rb
# MyEngine::Engine.routes.draw do
# match "/" => "posts#index"
# end
#
# == Mount priority
#
# Note that now there can be more than one router in your application, and it's better to avoid
# passing requests through many routers. Consider this situation:
#
# MyRailsApp::Application.routes.draw do
# mount MyEngine::Engine => "/blog"
# match "/blog/omg" => "main#omg"
# end
#
# +MyEngine+ is mounted at <tt>/blog</tt>, and <tt>/blog/omg</tt> points to application's
# controller. In such a situation, requests to <tt>/blog/omg</tt> will go through +MyEngine+,
# and if there is no such route in +Engine+'s routes, it will be dispatched to <tt>main#omg</tt>.
# It's much better to swap that:
#
# MyRailsApp::Application.routes.draw do
# match "/blog/omg" => "main#omg"
# mount MyEngine::Engine => "/blog"
# end
#
# Now, +Engine+ will get only requests that were not handled by +Application+.
#
# == Engine name
#
# There are some places where an Engine's name is used:
# * routes: when you mount an Engine with <tt>mount(MyEngine::Engine => '/my_engine')</tt>,
# it's used as default :as option
# * some of the rake tasks are based on engine name, e.g. <tt>my_engine:install:migrations</tt>,
# <tt>my_engine:install:assets</tt>
#
# Engine name is set by default based on class name. For <tt>MyEngine::Engine</tt> it will be
# <tt>my_engine_engine</tt>. You can change it manually using the <tt>engine_name</tt> method:
#
# module MyEngine
# class Engine < Rails::Engine
# engine_name "my_engine"
# end
# end
#
# == Isolated Engine
#
# Normally when you create controllers, helpers and models inside an engine, they are treated
# as they were created inside the application. This means all application helpers and named routes
# will be available to your engine's controllers.
#
# However, sometimes you want to isolate your engine from the application, especially if your engine
# has its own router. To do that, you simply need to call +isolate_namespace+. This method requires
# you to pass a module where all your controllers, helpers and models should be nested to:
#
# module MyEngine
# class Engine < Rails::Engine
# isolate_namespace MyEngine
# end
# end
#
# With such an engine, everything that is inside the +MyEngine+ module will be isolated from
# the application.
#
# Consider such controller:
#
# module MyEngine
# class FooController < ActionController::Base
# end
# end
#
# If an engine is marked as isolated, +FooController+ has access only to helpers from +Engine+ and
# <tt>url_helpers</tt> from <tt>MyEngine::Engine.routes</tt>.
#
# The next thing that changes in isolated engines is the behaviour of routes. Normally, when you namespace
# your controllers, you also need to do namespace all your routes. With an isolated engine,
# the namespace is applied by default, so you can ignore it in routes:
#
# MyEngine::Engine.routes.draw do
# resources :articles
# end
#
# The routes above will automatically point to <tt>MyEngine::ApplicationContoller</tt>. Furthermore, you don't
# need to use longer url helpers like <tt>my_engine_articles_path</tt>. Instead, you should simply use
# <tt>articles_path</tt> as you would do with your application.
#
# To make that behaviour consistent with other parts of the framework, an isolated engine also has influence on
# <tt>ActiveModel::Naming</tt>. When you use a namespaced model, like <tt>MyEngine::Article</tt>, it will normally
# use the prefix "my_engine". In an isolated engine, the prefix will be omitted in url helpers and
# form fields for convenience.
#
# polymorphic_url(MyEngine::Article.new) # => "articles_path"
#
# form_for(MyEngine::Article.new) do
# text_field :title # => <input type="text" name="article[title]" id="article_title" />
# end
#
# Additionally an isolated engine will set its name according to namespace, so
# MyEngine::Engine.engine_name will be "my_engine". It will also set MyEngine.table_name_prefix
# to "my_engine_", changing MyEngine::Article model to use my_engine_article table.
#
# == Using Engine's routes outside Engine
#
# Since you can now mount an engine inside application's routes, you do not have direct access to +Engine+'s
# <tt>url_helpers</tt> inside +Application+. When you mount an engine in an application's routes, a special helper is
# created to allow you to do that. Consider such a scenario:
#
# # config/routes.rb
# MyApplication::Application.routes.draw do
# mount MyEngine::Engine => "/my_engine", :as => "my_engine"
# match "/foo" => "foo#index"
# end
#
# Now, you can use the <tt>my_engine</tt> helper inside your application:
#
# class FooController < ApplicationController
# def index
# my_engine.root_url #=> /my_engine/
# end
# end
#
# There is also a <tt>main_app</tt> helper that gives you access to application's routes inside Engine:
#
# module MyEngine
# class BarController
# def index
# main_app.foo_path #=> /foo
# end
# end
# end
#
# Note that the <tt>:as</tt> option given to mount takes the <tt>engine_name</tT> as default, so most of the time
# you can simply omit it.
#
# Finally, if you want to generate a url to an engine's route using <tt>polymorphic_url</tt>, you also need
# to pass the engine helper. Let's say that you want to create a form pointing to one of the
# engine's routes. All you need to do is pass the helper as the first element in array with
# attributes for url:
#
# form_for([my_engine, @user])
#
# This code will use <tt>my_engine.user_path(@user)</tt> to generate the proper route.
#
# == Isolated engine's helpers
#
# Sometimes you may want to isolate engine, but use helpers that are defined for it.
# If you want to share just a few specific helpers you can add them to application's
# helpers in ApplicationController:
#
# class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
# helper MyEngine::SharedEngineHelper
# end
#
# If you want to include all of the engine's helpers, you can use #helpers method on an engine's
# instance:
#
# class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
# helper MyEngine::Engine.helpers
# end
#
# It will include all of the helpers from engine's directory. Take into account that this does
# not include helpers defined in controllers with helper_method or other similar solutions,
# only helpers defined in the helpers directory will be included.
#
# == Migrations & seed data
#
# Engines can have their own migrations. The default path for migrations is exactly the same
# as in application: <tt>db/migrate</tt>
#
# To use engine's migrations in application you can use rake task, which copies them to
# application's dir:
#
# rake ENGINE_NAME:install:migrations
#
# Note that some of the migrations may be skipped if a migration with the same name already exists
# in application. In such a situation you must decide whether to leave that migration or rename the
# migration in application and rerun copying migrations.
#
# If your engine has migrations, you may also want to prepare data for the database in
# the <tt>seeds.rb</tt> file. You can load that data using the <tt>load_seed</tt> method, e.g.
#
# MyEngine::Engine.load_seed
#
