Replace Rails dependency with only which Rails gems are actually needed

[ssunday]

Instead of requiring rails can it be more specific and require just actionpack / activesupport for example? So it's not pulling in all of rails when that's not needed for this gem to work?

This has come up as an issue during the downstream issue regarding the marcel dependency (a dependency of activestorage) mimemagic. Even if we're not using activestorage, we cannot remove it as invisible_captcha depends on Rails in its entirety and pulls it in.

Hello @ssunday 👋🏼

Yes! thanks for the ping, I also have followed the thread in Twitter and in the minad/mimemagic repo. Not really sure how it ended, but very interesting discussion. I have read a lot of interesting point of views there. Hopefully people will start using more and better caching deps in their CIs and deploys 😄 after that.

The change you are proposing seems very reasonable, even more since Rails is pulling new dependencies on each release and this gem only needs few parts of Rails to work 100% fine (we need Rails as dev dep, but yeah, not as runtime dep).

I'll try take a look asap, but I'm quite busy for at least ~2 weeks with other OSS work too. If someone wants to take a look and send a PR, I'd be happy to review it.

Best,
Marc

Thanks! I might raise a PR myself if/when I get the chance.
