How to integrate Bali with Rails?

Bali is designed from the start to be able to load configuration from multiple files, so you are okay to call Bali.map_rules for as many times as you want.

Therefore, it makes it possible to define rules for specific target in a different file. This kind of configuration is preferable in Rails situation.

To do so, first things first, let us create a folder named rules under app directory. This is where all your rules will be defined. You can define bank_account_rules.rb, submerchant_rules.rb and so on.

Afterward, create an initializer file under config/initializerz folder, let's call it bali.rb. The file should minimally contain these codes:

Dir[Rails.root.join('app', 'rules', '*.rb')].each do |file|
  require file
end

You could also store common Bali configuration in this file, for example, to define that if given instance of User, Bali should extract the roles by calling it roles function. This is optional.

Bali.map_rules do
  roles_for 'User', :roles
end

You are set!
