Small part of Hydra User Private Office application (aka HUPO)

It hosts here for convenience only.

Widget is just a specific model for interface customization. At present settings of every widget are stored in YML files. But in future they can be transparently moved to DB.

Example

Put widget class in app/widgets.

class SupportWidget < HupoWidget::Base
  singleton! # Only one widget of this type allowed
end

Create corresponding YML-file in config/widgets.

common:
  vc_support_phone: 777-55-33

Now you have model object.

widget = SupportWidget.instance

widget['vc_support_phone'] # "777-55-33"
widget.as_json # {vc_support_phone: "777-55-33"}

Simple!
