 1 | # ember-cli-rails
 2 | 
 3 | A rails template and build script for working with [ember-cli](https://github.com/stefanpenner/ember-cli)
 4 | and deploying with a rails api / backend. The goal is to allow ember-cli to be 
 5 | in charge of building and testing your ember app, and rails to be in charge of 
 6 | building and testing your rails app.
 7 | 
 8 | 
 9 | ## Dependencies
10 | 
11 | You will need the usual dev setup ruby, rails, bundler, node && npm. Once you
12 | have those, you will also need `bower` and `ember-cli`
13 | 
14 | install `bower` via npm
15 | 
16 | ```bash
17 | $ npm install -g bower
18 | ```
19 | 
20 | install `ember-cli` via npm
21 | 
22 | ```bash
23 | $ npm install -g ember-cli
24 | ```
25 | 
26 | ## Usage
27 | 
28 | clone the repo
29 | 
30 | ```bash
31 | $ git clone git@github.com:knomedia/ember-cli-rails.git
32 | ```
33 | 
34 | Assuming you are in the same directory as the `ember-cli-rails` repo, create a
35 | new rails app like:
36 | 
37 | ```bash
38 | $ rails new app -m ember-cli-rails/template.rb
39 | ```
40 | 
41 | If you are in another location, change the path to the template file as needed.
42 | 
43 | You now have a rails project with an ember-cli project within it.
44 | 
45 | The template will set a catch-all rails route that serves up the ember app.
46 | **You'll need to update your ember app config to set `location: 'hash'` manually
47 | for this to work.** As you add api endpoints to rails be sure to place them
48 | before the catch all route.
49 | 
50 | ## Daily development
51 | 
52 | To work on the project, cd into the project root and:
53 | 
54 | ```bash
55 | $ bin/rails s
56 | ```
57 | 
58 | In another tab cd into your ember app (it'll be inside the rails root and 
59 | labled with your app-name-ember). From within the ember-app directory run the
60 | development ember server
61 | 
62 | ```bash
63 | $ ember serve --proxy http://localhost:3000
64 | ```
65 | 
66 | This will proxy api calls to your rails backend. For more information see the 
67 | [ember-cli docs](http://iamstef.net/ember-cli/)
68 | 
69 | 
70 | ## Deployment
71 | 
72 | From time to time, or whenever time to deploy, cd to your rails root and run:
73 | 
74 | ```bash
75 | $ ./bin/build.sh
76 | ```
77 | 
78 | This will utilize `ember-cli` to build your ember app, and copy files over to 
79 | your rails `public/` directory.
