What it is

ComfortableMexicanSofa is a Rails 5.2+ engine that provides a drop-in CMS with page templating via Content Tags, multi-site support, revision history, and i18n localization. It handles file attachments through ActiveStorage, includes a Bootstrap 4 admin UI with CodeMirror for syntax highlighting and Redactor WYSIWYG editor, and lets users create and manage content without touching your Rails application code. Rails Engine architecture: /app contains the CMS logic (models, views, controllers, assets); /app/assets/javascripts/comfy/admin/cms groups admin UI interactions (page_fragments.js, wysiwyg.js, file_upload.js); vendor dependencies (Bootstrap, CodeMirror, Redactor) bundled under…

Start here

Open these first:

• Gemfile — Defines all gem dependencies including Rails 5.2+ and CMS-specific plugins; essential for understanding the project's…
• README.md — Primary documentation covering features, integration patterns, and CMS architecture; required reading before implementing…
• app/assets/javascripts/comfy/admin/cms/application.js — Main admin interface entry point; orchestrates all admin-facing JavaScript modules and initializes the CMS UI framework.
• .rubocop.yml — Defines code style and quality standards enforced across the codebase; necessary to understand linting rules before…
• app/assets/config/manifest.js — Asset pipeline configuration for bundling CSS/JS; controls what frontend assets are compiled and served to clients.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/comfy/comfortable-mexican-sofa.git
cd comfortable-mexican-sofa
bundle install
rails generate comfy:cms
rails db:migrate

Then add gem "comfortable_mexican_sofa", "~> 2.0.0" to your target Rails app's Gemfile.

Daily commands:

rake db:migrate
rails server

Then navigate to http://localhost:3000/admin (if mounted at /admin via comfy_route :cms_admin, path: "/admin"). No separate frontend server needed—runs within the Rails app.

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 2y ago
• Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 60% of recent commits
• ImageMagick must be installed separately for image resizing—Rails will not fail gracefully if missing. Pagination gem required: you must add either kaminari or will_paginate to your host app's Gemfile or…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
