Info

Info a library that allows you collecting info about your application in a simple JSON endpoint.

Just the following line to your Gemfile:

gem "info"

Now, create a initializer at config/initializers/info.rb with the following content:

Info.setup do
  enable!
end

Read more about authorization and how to add collectors below.

To add your own collectors, just use the method Info::Configuration#add.

Info.setup do
  add "Rails", Rails.version
end

You can also use Info.add "Rails", Rails.version.

Info comes with some default information; just load the info/rails file. You can do it on a initializer file (config/initializers/info.rb) or your Gemfile.

gem "info", require: "info/rails"

All Rubygems that your app is using can be collected by loading the file info/rubygems.

You may need to clear all collectors; in this case just use Info.collectors.clear.

To view your collected info, just visit /application/info. This endpoint is public, so you can set authorization with two strategies: token and basic auth.

To authorize the endpoint access with basic authentication, just provide a block that requires two arguments.

Info.setup do
  authorize {|email, password| AdminUser.find_by_email(email).authenticate(password) }
end

To authorize the endpoint access with token authentication, just provide a block that requires one argument.

Info.setup do
  authorize {|token| AdminUser.find_by_token(token).present? }
end

You can also use Info.authorize(&block).
