Installation

Add the rack-dev-mark gem to your Gemfile.

gem "rack-dev-mark"

And run bundle install.

For Rack App

require 'rack/dev-mark'
use Rack::DevMark::Middleware
run MyApp

Middleman

Add the settings in config.rb.

require 'rack/dev-mark'
Rack::DevMark.env = "Your Env"
use Rack::DevMark::Middleware

For Rails App

In config/environments/development.rb

Rails.application.configure do
  config.rack_dev_mark.enable = true
end

Or In config/application.rb

module MyApp
  class Application < Rails::Application
    config.rack_dev_mark.enable = !Rails.env.production?
  end
end

Or Alternatively, use generator

bundle exec rails g rack:dev-mark:install

The middleware sets title and github_fork_ribbon themes as default.

Exclude Multiple Environments in Rails

Show the dev mark except env1, env2, env3.

In config/application.rb

module MyApp
  class Application < Rails::Application
    config.rack_dev_mark.enable = !%w(env1 env2 env3).include?(Rails.env)
  end
end

Rails on Heroku

Since Heroku uses production env for staging. You can't use the settings above. However, the gem provide an easier way to set it up on Heroku. Just set the environment variable on the environment in which you want to show the mark.

heroku config:set RACK_DEV_MARK_ENV=staging

That's it!

Custom Rack Middleware Order

rack-dev-mark should be inserted before ActionDispatch::ShowExceptions becase we want to show the dev mark on the error pages as well. However, it does not work well if it's inserted by incorrect order with some other rack middlewares. So, it provides the setting of inserted place.

module MyApp
  class Application < Rails::Application
    config.rack_dev_mark.insert_before SomeOtherMiddleware
  end
end

config.rack_dev_mark.insert_after is also available to insert rack-dev-mark after a middleware.

Here is the compatibility list which many people often ask.

Custom env string

Set the custom env string maually.

module MyApp
  class Application < Rails::Application
    config.rack_dev_mark.env = 'foo'
  end
end

Temporarily disable the dev mark

skip_rack_dev_mark controller helper works like around_filter.

class FooController < ApplicationController
  skip_rack_dev_mark only: [:iframe]

  def index
    # Do something
  end

  def iframe
    # Do something
  end
end

In this case, only index action will insert the dev mark.

I18n Support

Get i18n string with rack_dev_mark locale strings.

e.g. In config/locale/rack_dev_mark.ja.yml

ja:
  rack_dev_mark:
    development: '開発中'
    staging: 'ステージング'

Then, you will get translated string on the pages!

Custom Theme

Although the default themes are title and github_fork_ribbon, you can create your own themes inheriting Rack::DevMark::Theme::Base.

require 'rack/dev-mark/theme/base'

class NewTheme < Rack::DevMark::Theme::Base
  def insert_into(html, env, params = {})
    # Do something for your theme
    html
  end
end

class AnotherTheme < Rack::DevMark::Theme::Base
  def insert_into(html, env, params = {})
    # Do something for your theme
    html
  end
end

Then, insert them in your app.

For Rack App

use Rack::DevMark::Middleware, [NewTheme.new, AnotherTheme.new]

For Rails App

In config/application.rb

module MyApp
  class Application < Rails::Application
    config.rack_dev_mark.theme = [NewTheme.new, AnotherTheme.new]
  end
end

You can add any combination of themes. See more about themes.
