Introduction

LesliSystem provides shared system-level utilities for applications built with the Lesli Framework.

It exposes installed engine and gem metadata and provides helpers for resolving engine-specific models from application objects.

Features

• Installed engine discovery
• Engine metadata and version introspection
• Installed Lesli gem discovery
• Lookup by engine name or code
• Engine-specific model resolution
• Shared system utilities for the Lesli ecosystem

Installation

Add LesliSystem to the application:

bundle add lesli_system

Usage

Inspect installed engines

LesliSystem.engines
LesliSystem.engine("Lesli")
LesliSystem.engine(:lesli)
LesliSystem.engine("Lesli", "path")

Engine metadata includes its code, name, route path, version, build, description, and installation directory when available.

List the installed Lesli gems:

LesliSystem.gems

Resolve engine models

LesliSystem::Klass derives the engine namespace from an object or accepts it explicitly:

builder = LesliSystem::Klass.new(self)

builder.engine_name
builder.model.account
builder.model.dashboard

builder = LesliSystem::Klass.new(engine: "LesliBell")
builder.model.dashboard

Development

Clone the repository and install its dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/LesliTech/LesliSystem.git
cd LesliSystem
bundle install

To use local source from a Lesli development workspace, reference it from the host application's Gemfile:

gem "lesli_system", path: "gems/LesliSystem"

Tests

Run the default test task from the LesliSystem directory:

bundle exec rake
