Watch

Setup

1. Add the plugin to your gemfile and install the migrations:

gem 'watch', git: 'grantiq/watch'

bundle
bundle exec rake watch:install:migrations
bundle exec rake db:migrate

2. Add an initializer to setup the default watcher object:

Watch.configure do |configuration|
  configuration.watcher = -> (context) { current_user }
end

3. Add this snippet to routes.rb:

  mount Watch::Engine, at: '/'

4. Add this snippet to application_controller.rb:

helper Watch::Engine.helpers

5. For every watcher object include the following:

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Watch::Watcher
end

6. For every watchable object include the following:

class Firm < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Watch::Watchable
end

7. Views can be modified to use the bundled react component:

<%= firm.name %>
<%= react_watch_widget(firm) %>
