I know the Rails::Initializer class process the initialization for apps. But i found the method is under the protection. That is,
Rails::Initializer.run do |config| end
when i invoke the run method, it then do process method which is the actually initializing method.
I want to know how can i extend the method without changing railties/lib/initializer.rb, in other words, how to extend it?
My requirement is to initialize ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings. Though there’s a built-in way to do it, i prefer the way performed as database.yml, which can put development, production and test environment all in a file.
For example:
development: server: 127.0.0.1 port: 25 domain: localhost
production: server: 127.0.0.1 port: 25 domain: localhost
Recently, I use this way.
module Rails class Initializer def initialize_smtp if configuration.frameworks.include ?(:action_mailer) && RAILS_ENV != ‘test’ ActionMailer::Base.smtp_settings = (configuration.smtp_configuration[RAILS_ENV] || {}).symbolize_keys end end end
class Configuration
attr_accessor :smtp_configuration_file
def smtp_configuration
self.smtp_configuration_file ||= default_smtp_configuration_file
YAML::load(ERB.new(IO.read(smtp_configuration_file)).result)
end
private
def default_smtp_configuration_file
File.join("#{RAILS_ROOT}", "config", "mailer.yml")
end
end end
But following this, I only can initialize the mail system after the initialization, as:
initializer = Rails::Initializer.run do |config| end initializer.initialize_smtp
It works, but not perfect really.
Does this a way to directly do the work when rails initialize itself? Thank you for any advice.
