Development with Host Application

Engine

The engine adds setup for form on backend and allows us to attach forms to any model. It also stores submissions.

Installation

• Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

  source "NEETO_GEM_SERVER_URL" do
    # ...existing gems
  
    gem 'neeto-form-engine'
  end
  

• And then execute:

  bundle install
  

• Install the migrations

  bundle exec rails neeto_form_engine:install:migrations
  

• Run the migrations

  bundle exec rails db:migrate
  

• Add this line to your application's config/routes.rb file (replace at to your desired route):

  mount NeetoFormEngine::Engine, at: "/neeto_form_engine"
  

• Create file neeto_form_engine.rb under config/initializers to provide the owner_class information

  NeetoFormEngine.owner_class = "Organization"
  

• Configure models to add below association to the provided owner class

  has_many :forms, class_name: "::NeetoFormEngine::Form", as: :owner
  

• Configure models to add below association to scope submission records (optional)

  has_one :submission, class_name: "::NeetoFormEngine::Submission", as: :record
  

• Configure model to add below association to attach form (optional)

  has_one :form, class_name: "::NeetoFormEngine::Form", as: :attachable
