NOTE: As it goes with all middleware that modifies the response, not compatible with Rails' streaming responses because it modifies the response.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rack-toolbar'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install rack-toolbar

Usage

If your app is delivering a response like:

<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>
    <h1>Important</h1>
  </body>
</html>

Simple Setup

You want to inject something into the response!

Configure your app to use Rack::Toolbar

use Rack::Toolbar, {snippet: "<div>More Important!</div>", insertion_point: "<body>", insertion_method: :after}

The div specified will be injected :after the <body tag.

<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>
    <div>More Important!</div>
    <h1>Important</h1>
  </body>
</html>

Easy Setup

You want to build a Middleware that will deliver a custom response based on whatever.

Create your middleware to inherit from Rack::Toolbar, and define a render method:

class CustomMiddleware < Rack::Toolbar
  def render
    "<script>javascript:void(0)</script>"
  end
end

Configure your app to use your CustomMiddleware. You can still use the :insertion_* options, but :snippet will be ignored.

use CustomMiddleware, {insertion_point: "</head>", insertion_method: :before}

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release to create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
