Hi
This is a general question.What is the differnece between these
?Why I am asking such a question is i am using will_paginate
pluggin..Now it is available as gem..So is there any performance
(stability and speed of execution) difference?
Thanks in advance

My problem is that I waffle back -n- forth over what is best. Sometimes I think gems because they are the ruby way, and are so well supported (as Fred said). Othertimes I think: plugins so I can have all the project code in the project. But then the projects get huge. And sometimes updating a plugin isn''t as straightforward. And the plugin management keeps change (used to by SVN, now it''s all GIT... what''s next?). So I dunno. I like that with a plugin you don''t have to add any code (no "require" line), but then again, it''s only one line. Hmmm... conundrum -Danimal On May 20, 4:03 am, Frederick Cheung <frederick.che...-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> On 20 May 2008, at 10:59, Sijo Kg wrote: > > > > > Hi > > This is a general question.What is the differnece between these > > ?Why I am asking such a question is i am using will_paginate > > pluggin..Now it is available as gem..So is there any performance > > (stability and speed of execution) difference? > > plugins are rails specific, gems are a general ruby way of > distributing code. gems have the advantage of already having a lot of > stuff in place for dependencies versionning etc... > rails does some special things to plugins, eg loading them at a well > defined point in the boot process, evaling init.rb etc...
