Get the gem

Add to your Gemfile and bundle

gem "breeze" , git: "https://codeberg.org/FeenixMakers/merged"

bundle

And run the installer:

bundle exec rails breeze:install

Look at config/initializers/breeze.rb and adjust if you need

Routes

Add routes using routes helper (no routes are generated by the generator).

Normally the engine is not mounted in production, only viewing routes are always created by the engine.

Rails.application.routes.draw do 
  breeze_routes(options_hash)
end

Use production: true , to mount in production , or root: true to define the root to index.

Breeze generates a route for any page you define. And it generates redirects if you rename a page.

Access the back-end under localhost:3000/breeze/pages

These both need some adjusting, unfortunately for tailwind it gets a little tricky. This is because it is not possible to have several tailwind stylesheets in use, and so we need to distinguish between apps that use tailwind themselves or not.

Apps using tailwind

If you use tailwind with the tailwind gem, you need to edit the tailwind config.

Basically it is impossible to have two tailwind generated stylesheets, so your app needs to pick up the merged styles. This can be configured like so:

const output = execSync('bundle show breeze', { encoding: 'utf-8' });
const fullname = output.trim() + '/**/*.{haml,html,rb}' ;
module.exports = {
  content: [
    fullname ,
    .... as before
  ]

Also, breeze overrides some tailwind styles (especially prose/markdown), so if you want to use markdown i suggest importing the breeze/tailwind_styles into your application.css. This is pure css, and does not need to be processed by tailwind.

Apps not using tailwind

Include breeze stylesheet to your layout or asset pipeline.

= stylesheet_link_tag "application"
= stylesheet_link_tag "breeze/breeze"

Authentication

If your ApplicationController has a authenticate_member! it will be called before any breeze action. Currently there is no way to configure devise user class (obviously we assume Member) , but you can use it to call whatever you use, ie authenticate_user!

Breeze logs all changes and calls current_member_email to do so. If your controller responds to current_member, that will be used, otherwise a dummy. Override current_member_email to return your users email if you wish.
