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

1. Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

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

2. And then execute:

   bundle install

3. Install the migrations

   bundle exec rails neeto_form_engine:install:migrations

4. Run the migrations

   bundle exec rails db:migrate

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

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

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

   NeetoFormEngine.owner_class = "Organization"

7. Configure models to add below association to the provided owner class

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

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

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

9. Configure model to add below association to attach form (optional)

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