# <tt>Rails::Railtie</tt> is the core of the Rails framework and provides
# several hooks to extend Rails and/or modify the initialization process.
#
# Every major component of Rails (Action Mailer, Action Controller, Active
# Record, etc.) implements a railtie. Each of them is responsible for their
# own initialization. This makes Rails itself absent of any component hooks,
# allowing other components to be used in place of any of the Rails defaults.
#
# Developing a Rails extension does _not_ require implementing a railtie, but
# if you need to interact with the Rails framework during or after boot, then
# a railtie is needed.
#
# For example, an extension doing any of the following would need a railtie:
#
# * creating initializers
# * configuring a Rails framework for the application, like setting a generator
# * adding <tt>config.*</tt> keys to the environment
# * setting up a subscriber with <tt>ActiveSupport::Notifications</tt>
# * adding Rake tasks
#
# == Creating a Railtie
#
# To extend Rails using a railtie, create a subclass of <tt>Rails::Railtie</tt>.
# This class must be loaded during the Rails boot process, and is conventionally
# called <tt>MyNamespace::Railtie</tt>.
#
# The following example demonstrates an extension which can be used with or
# without Rails.
#
# # lib/my_gem/railtie.rb
# module MyGem
# class Railtie < Rails::Railtie
# end
# end
#
# # lib/my_gem.rb
# require 'my_gem/railtie' if defined?(Rails)
#
# == Initializers
#
# To add an initialization step to the Rails boot process from your railtie, just
# define the initialization code with the +initializer+ macro:
#
# class MyRailtie < Rails::Railtie
# initializer "my_railtie.configure_rails_initialization" do
# # some initialization behavior
# end
# end
#
# If specified, the block can also receive the application object, in case you
# need to access some application-specific configuration, like middleware:
#
# class MyRailtie < Rails::Railtie
# initializer "my_railtie.configure_rails_initialization" do |app|
# app.middleware.use MyRailtie::Middleware
# end
# end
#
# Finally, you can also pass <tt>:before</tt> and <tt>:after</tt> as options to
# +initializer+, in case you want to couple it with a specific step in the
# initialization process.
#
# == Configuration
#
# Railties can access a config object which contains configuration shared by all
# railties and the application:
#
# class MyRailtie < Rails::Railtie
# # Customize the ORM
# config.app_generators.orm :my_railtie_orm
#
# # Add a to_prepare block which is executed once in production
# # and before each request in development.
# config.to_prepare do
# MyRailtie.setup!
# end
# end
#
# == Loading Rake Tasks and Generators
#
# If your railtie has Rake tasks, you can tell Rails to load them through the method
# +rake_tasks+:
#
# class MyRailtie < Rails::Railtie
# rake_tasks do
# load 'path/to/my_railtie.tasks'
# end
# end
#
# By default, Rails loads generators from your load path. However, if you want to place
# your generators at a different location, you can specify in your railtie a block which
# will load them during normal generators lookup:
#
# class MyRailtie < Rails::Railtie
# generators do
# require 'path/to/my_railtie_generator'
# end
# end
#
# == Application and Engine
#
# An engine is nothing more than a railtie with some initializers already set. And since
# <tt>Rails::Application</tt> is an engine, the same configuration described here can be
# used in both.
#
# Be sure to look at the documentation of those specific classes for more information.
