This is a set of ActiveRecord classes, designed to work with Daylite 4, 5 and 6 by Marketcircle.

All the classes are in namespace Daylite. For example, Daylite projects live in the class Daylite::Project.

Models attributes are mapped to usual ruby underscore_notation from Daylite cameCase notation.

This gem assumes that you have added an admin username to the existing Postgres database or somehow know Marketcirlce's own administrative username and password.

Without this admin username and password, access to your database will not be possible.

Place

require 'daylite_models'

somewhere in you initialization code and/or

gem 'daylite_models'

in your Gemfile in the usual way.

You initiate and pass connection info through the Daylite::Base.establish_connection call. You will need to provide adapter, database, host, username and password params. See ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection and Postgres documentation for more info. You may use the following piece of code:

Add daylite section to you database.yml, e.g.

daylite:
    adapter: postgres
encoding: unicode
sslmode: require
port: 6181
    host: <my_daylite_host>
    database: <MyOrganization>
    username: <my_admin_username>
    password: <my_password>

Add the following line to your environment.rb (optional):

Daylite::Base.establish_connection(:daylite)

You are ready to rock! Now you can use Daylite classes in you application as usual Rails models.

DAYLITE_DATABASE_CONFIG = 'config/database.yml'
DAYLITE_CONFIG_SECTION = 'daylite'

if File.exist?(DAYLITE_DATABASE_CONFIG)
  yaml = YAML::load(File.read(DAYLITE_DATABASE_CONFIG))

  if yaml[DAYLITE_CONFIG_SECTION]
    Daylite::Base.establish_connection( yaml[DAYLITE_CONFIG_SECTION] )
  end
end
