KA public API application

---

This is a basic rails-api configuration, with only one small adjustment in /config/application.rb:

module KaApi
    def self.root
        File.expand_path(File.join(File.dirname(__FILE__),'../'))
    end
end

This allows us to have the application root path in rake tasks inside the gems.

Installation

• include in the Gemfile the extensions and moules that you want to mount on this instance:

gem 'ka_mod_users', :github => 'arisro/test-ka-mod-users'

gem 'ka_ext_users', :github => 'arisro/test-ka-ext-users'

• bundle install
• rake ka:install - will copy the extensions & modules configuration files to the main application's /config folder and will mount the modules' engines in /config/routes.rb .
• edit the config files (especially the extension's one that might have database settings)
• rake ka:db:migrate - will run the migrations (from the start if this is a new install) for every extension and module, for their own database
• start your server

Updating

• edit the Gemfile to include or remove any extensions or modules
• bundle update
• rake ka:install - will add any new extensions/modules configuration files. It won't overwrite existing modules configurations files.
• edit the config files. If there are any new configuration options for existing modules/extension, they have to be added by hand in the existing config files.
• rake ka:db:migrate - run migrations for existing modules/extensions and setup the tables for the new modules/extensions
• start your server
