Disabling deface when initialize_on_precompile is disabled

[jroes]

Setting config.deface.enabled = false in the production environment config when you have initialize_on_precompile disabled in config/application.rb will cause the following error:

undefined method `deface' for #<Rails::Application::Configuration:0x007fce85dc5fe0>

My workaround is to actually add a guard like this - if config.respond_to?(:deface)

I'm guessing there's another place the config setting can be defined so that it's available without initializing?

Here's where we set the config:

https://github.com/spree/deface/blob/master/lib/deface/railtie.rb#L22

I'm open to suggestions for a different hook to add it :before ?

I've got no clue, honestly.

Looking at how other projects handle it, it seems like we could do one of the following:

1. Put this into an initializer instead. We could change the documentation to suggest this.
2. Use a class-level setting, like:

Deface.configuration do |config|
  config.enabled = false
end

That's how it looks like other people do it.

By the way, would it be possible to just make this happen as part of Asset Precompilation altogether somehow?
