This lesson is known to work with hydra-head version 6.0.0.
Please update this wiki to reflect any other versions that have been tested.

Goals

• Add Hydra functionality to your Rails Application

Explanation

As with Blacklight, in order to add Hydra's features to your application we need to run the custom Rails generator provided by Hydra. This generator will create and/or modify a handful of files in our application, setting everything up so that we can begin using Hydra's features right away.

Steps

Step 1: Run the generator

$> rails generate hydra:head -f

This overwrites the app/controller/catalog_controller.rb from blacklight, with one that is appropriate for the solr schema that we are using.

Step 2: Commit your changes

At this point it's a good idea to commit the changes:

$> git add .
$> git commit -m "Ran blacklight and hydra-head generators"
