Environmenter

Optionally load a Rails environment from other code. Processes which implement custom event loops may wish to load Rails, for instance, to automatically configure database connections and provide access to models.

The basic usage instantiates an environmenter and loads it:

require 'environmenter'
Environmenter::Loader.new.load!

In some cases one might wish to manually require other files in the load path:

require 'environmenter'

config = {require: ['path/to/file']}
config = {'require' => ['path/to/file']}
config = OpenStruct.new(require: ['path/to/file'])

Environmenter::Loader.new(config).load!

Environmenter will not explode if Rails does not exist in the load path. It will attempt several different methods of loading Rails, to support versions > 3.0.

Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/[USERNAME]/environmenter. This project is ntended to be a safe, welcoming space for collaboration, and contributors are expected to adhere to the Contributor Covenant code of conduct.

If attempting to load a version of Rails newer than that supported by this gem, please file an issue. Pull requests are welcome, though note that the gem owner is picky about formatting and may ask for revisions. New features may not be accepted, in a desire to keep this gem small with no external dependencies. This gem should only do one thing, hopefully doing it well.
