# Railtie 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,
# Action View, Active Record and Active Resource) is 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 any implementation of
# Railtie, but if you need to interact with the Rails framework during
# or after boot, then Railtie is needed.
#
# For example, an extension doing any of the following would require Railtie:
#
# * creating initializers
# * configuring a Rails framework for the application, like setting a generator
# * adding config.* keys to the environment
# * setting up a subscriber with ActiveSupport::Notifications
# * adding rake tasks
#
# == Creating your Railtie
#
# To extend Rails using Railtie, create a Railtie class which inherits
# from Rails::Railtie within your extension's namespace. This class must be
# loaded during the Rails boot process.
#
# 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 from your Railtie to Rails boot process, you just need
# to create an initializer block:
#
# 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 :before and :after as option to initializer, in case
# you want to couple it with a specific step in the initialization process.
#
# == Configuration
#
# Inside the Railtie class, you 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 load 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, Plugin and Engine
#
# A Rails::Engine is nothing more than a Railtie with some initializers already set.
# And since Rails::Application and Rails::Plugin are engines, the same configuration
# described here can be used in all three.
#
# Be sure to look at the documentation of those specific classes for more information.
