Since Rails 3.0, every Rails::Application is nothing # more than an Engine, allowing you to share it very easily. # # Any Rails::Engine is also a Rails::Railtie, so the same methods (like rake_tasks and # generators) and configuration available in the latter can also be used in the former. # # == Creating an Engine # # In Rails versions before to 3.0, your gems automatically behaved as Engine, however # this coupled Rails to Rubygems. Since Rails 3.0, if you want a gem to automatically # behave as Engine, you have to specify an Engine for it somewhere inside your plugin # 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 config/application.rb (or in # your Gemfile) and it will automatically load models, controllers and helpers # inside app, load routes at "config/routes.rb", load locales at "config/locales/*", # load tasks at "lib/tasks/*". # # == Configuration # # Besides the Railtie configuration which is shared across the application, in a # Rails::Engine you can access autoload_paths, eager_load_paths and autoload_once_paths, # which differently from a Railtie, 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 engine with config.generators 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 application by using config.app_generators: # # 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 "app/controllers", # but in any place which you find convenient. # # For example, let's suppose you want to lay your controllers at lib/controllers, all # you need to do is: # # class MyEngine < Rails::Engine # paths["app/controllers"] = "lib/controllers" # end # # You can also have your controllers being loaded from both "app/controllers" and # "lib/controllers": # # 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 Application class adds a couple more paths to this set. And as in your Application, # all folders under "app" are automatically added to the load path. So if you have # "app/observers", it's added by default. # # == Endpoint # # 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 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 Engine can now be rack endpoint, it can also have a middleware stack. The usage is exactly # the same as in application: # # module MyEngine # class Engine < Rails::Engine # middleware.use SomeMiddleware # end # end # # == Routes # # If you don't specify endpoint, routes will be used as default endpoint. You can use them # just like you use 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 you application and it's better to avoid # passing requests through many routers. Consider such situation: # # MyRailsApp::Application.routes.draw do # mount MyEngine::Engine => "/blog" # match "/blog/omg" => "main#omg" # end # # MyEngine is mounted at "/blog" path and additionaly "/blog/omg" points application's controller. # In such situation request to "/blog/omg" will go through MyEngine and if there is no such route # in Engine's routes, it will be dispatched to "main#omg". 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. # # == Asset path # # When you use engine with its own public directory, you will probably want to copy or symlink it # to application's public directory. To simplify generating paths for assets, you can set asset_path # for an Engine: # # module MyEngine # class Engine < Rails::Engine # config.asset_path = "/my_engine/%s" # end # end # # With such config, asset paths will be automatically modified inside Engine: # image_path("foo.jpg") #=> "/my_engine/images/foo.jpg" # # == Serving static files # # By default, rails use ActionDispatch::Static to serve static files in development mode. This is ok # while you develop your application, but when you want to deploy it, assets from engine will not be # served by default. You should choose one of the two following strategies: # # * enable serving static files by setting config.serve_static_assets to true # * copy engine's public files to application's public folder with rake ENGINE_NAME:install:assets, for example # rake my_engine:install:assets # # == Engine name # # There are some places where engine's name is used: # * routes: when you mount engine with mount(MyEngine::Engine => '/my_engine'), it's used as default :as option # * some of the rake tasks are based on engine name, e.g. my_engine:install:migrations, my_engine:install:assets # # Engine name is set by default based on class name. For MyEngine::Engine it will be my_engine_engine. # You can change it manually it manually using engine_name method: # # module MyEngine # class Engine < Rails::Engine # engine_name "my_engine" # end # end # # == Namespaced Engine # # Normally when you create controllers, helpers and models inside engine, they are treated # as they were created inside the application. This means all applications helpers and named routes # will be available to your engine controllers. # # However, sometimes you want to isolate your engine from the application, specially if your engine # have 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 Engine, everything that is inside MyEngine module, will be isolated from application. # # Consider such controller: # # module MyEngine # class FooController < ActionController::Base # end # end # # If engine is marked as isolated, FooController has access only to helpers from engine and # url_helpers from MyEngine::Engine.routes. # # The next thing that changes in isolated engine is routes behaviour. Normally, when you namespace # your controllers, you also need to do namespace all your routes. With 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 MyEngine::ApplicationContoller. Further more, you don't # need to use longer url helpers like "my_engine_articles_path". Instead, you shuold simply use # articles_path as you would do with your application. # # To make that behaviour consistent with other parts of framework, isolated engine has influence also on # ActiveModel::Naming. When you use namespaced model, like MyEngine::Article, it will normally # use the prefix "my_engine". In isolated engine, the prefix will be ommited in url helpers and # form fields for convenience. # # polymorphic_url(MyEngine::Article.new) #=> "articles_path" # # form_for(MyEngine::Article.new) do # text_field :title #=> # end # # Additionaly isolated engine will set its name according to namespace, so # MyEngine::Engine.engine_name #=> "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 now you can mount engine inside application's routes, you do not have direct access to engine's # url_helpers inside application. When you mount Engine in application's routes, a special helper is # created to allow you to do that. Consider such scenario: # # # APP/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 my_engine helper inside your application: # # class FooController < ApplicationController # def index # my_engine.root_url #=> /my_engine/ # end # end # # There is also 'main_app' 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 :as option given to mount takes the engine_name as default, so most of the time # you can simply ommit it. # # Finally, if you want to generate url to engine's route using polymorphic_url, 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 my_engine.user_path(@user) to generate the proper route. # # == Migrations & seed data # # Engines can have their own migrations. Default path for migrations is exactly the same # as in application: db/migrate # # 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 migration with the same name already exists # in application. In such 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 # seeds.rb file. You can load that data using load_seed method, e.g. # # MyEngine::Engine.load_seed # class Engine < Railtie autoload :Configuration, "rails/engine/configuration" autoload :Railties, "rails/engine/railties" class << self attr_accessor :called_from, :isolated alias :isolated? :isolated alias :engine_name :railtie_name def inherited(base) unless base.abstract_railtie? base.called_from = begin # Remove the line number from backtraces making sure we don't leave anything behind call_stack = caller.map { |p| p.sub(/:\d+.*/, '') } File.dirname(call_stack.detect { |p| p !~ %r[railties[\w.-]*/lib/rails|rack[\w.-]*/lib/rack] }) end end super end def endpoint(endpoint = nil) @endpoint = endpoint if endpoint @endpoint end def isolate_namespace(mod) engine_name(generate_railtie_name(mod)) name = engine_name self.routes.default_scope = {:module => name} self.isolated = true unless mod.respond_to?(:_railtie) _railtie = self mod.singleton_class.instance_eval do define_method(:_railtie) do _railtie end unless mod.respond_to?(:table_name_prefix) define_method(:table_name_prefix) do "#{name}_" end end end end end end delegate :middleware, :root, :paths, :to => :config delegate :engine_name, :isolated?, :to => "self.class" def load_tasks super paths["lib/tasks"].existent.sort.each { |ext| load(ext) } end def eager_load! config.eager_load_paths.each do |load_path| matcher = /\A#{Regexp.escape(load_path)}\/(.*)\.rb\Z/ Dir.glob("#{load_path}/**/*.rb").sort.each do |file| require_dependency file.sub(matcher, '\1') end end end def railties @railties ||= self.class::Railties.new(config) end def app @app ||= begin config.middleware = config.middleware.merge_into(default_middleware_stack) config.middleware.build(endpoint) end end def endpoint self.class.endpoint || routes end def call(env) app.call(env.merge!(env_config)) end def env_config @env_config ||= { 'action_dispatch.routes' => routes, 'action_dispatch.asset_path' => config.asset_path } end def routes @routes ||= ActionDispatch::Routing::RouteSet.new @routes.append(&Proc.new) if block_given? @routes end def initializers initializers = [] railties.all { |r| initializers += r.initializers } initializers += super initializers end def config @config ||= Engine::Configuration.new(find_root_with_flag("lib")) end # Load data from db/seeds.rb file.
