Spree e-Commerce in an existing application

Question

I am trying to configure Spree in my application (I am open to use Gem or run it in vendor mode).

I looked through the documentation and wiki, and I'm still a bit confused about how this might work in my existing application. I have no problem using a separate database for Spree and setting up my application to transfer data between my databases, but how does Spree work in my application?

I have seen suggestions from the Spree mailing list about moving my existing application to run as an extension to Spree, but it does not seem optimal to convert my large application to run inside / as an extension of a small part of my general application.

Has anyone figured this out? How to run Spree in an existing Rails application?

Answer 1

You are probably better off not running your application as an extension in Spree.

Spree is a fairly large application, and using handlers (separate directory trees that override kernel files), it would seem like something like the reverse to handle this any other way.

- Spree (, , ), () . Spree, , .

- Spree, , . , , ..

Spree - , . , . , , .

, , !
