http://guides.rubyonrails.org/plugins.html#organize-your-files This has two things that doesn''t make sense to me. 1) it advocates a Rails folder with it''s own init.rb in it. AFAICT that''s an old idiom that no longer applies to Rails 3, but I can''t seem to find a definitive confirmation on that. 2) it advocates that /PLUGIN/init.rb should include /PLUGIN/lib/yaffle.rb as the one and only require statement and that yaffle.rb should be the file where all the needed require statements be written to "keep init.rb clean." I don''t understand the merit of that. How many require statements is not clean? 20, 20, 5? If I have 2 requires, I should have a whole separate file just to isolate the requires? Is there some other purpose, because that just makes no sense. Looking for insight.

Greg, I spent a lot of time today building a Rails 3 plugin, and http://guides.rubyonrails.org/plugins.html is outdated. I will be looking into updating the page for Rails 3. Below is the recommended setup, where init.rb requires only lib/ plugin.rb. I''m not 100% positive, but I believe it is done this way to conform to the Rails Engine. /PLUGIN/init.rb /PLUGIN/lib/plugin.rb -- Andrew Ferk On Sep 17, 12:02 am, Greg Willits <li...-fsXkhYbjdPsEEoCn2XhGlw@public.gmane.org> wrote:> http://guides.rubyonrails.org/plugins.html#organize-your-files > > This has two things that doesn''t make sense to me. > > 1) it advocates a Rails folder with it''s own init.rb in it.

Perhaps the definition of some constants? Or would you do everything in /lib/plugin.rb? Also, how would you deal with a case where the name of the plugin might be SpiffyUser, and you have /plugins/spiffy_user/lib/spiffy_user.rb where I would want a class file named spiffy_user.rb -- seems now like we want to use spiffy_user.rb for two things. Plugin init and a primary class file for the plugin. I guess I just have to come up with another name for one of them, but it''s not really ideal to have to do that I think. Or, let''s just say under the old system I didn''t have to when we could have the actual init stuff in init.rb Sure seems like there should be /PLUGIN/lib/init.rb -- gw -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
