Engineer

This gem makes developing a Renalware plugin (a Rails engine) a little easier. It does most of the standard Engine initialization including:

• appending the engine's db/migrate, db/triggers, db/functions and db/views paths to the application's config.paths so that migrations across all engines and the app itself - and any sql definition files referenced in migrations - can be found during a db:migrate
• loading any config/locale/**/*.yml that exist in the engine.
• more to follow..

Usage

In your Rails engine add the following to lib/xxxx/engine.rb:

  class Engine < ::Rails::Engine
    isolate_namespace Renalware::Xxxx
    include Engineer::DefaultInitializers
    ...
  end

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'engineer'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Development Tasks

• Add tests
• Add a generator to bring in standard files for a new Renalware plugin
• Look for other Engine boiler-plate code we can move here.
