Many plugins ship with generators. When you created the plugin above, you specified the --with-generator option, so you already have the generator stubs in 'vendor/plugins/yaffle/generators/yaffle'.
-Building generators is a complex topic unto itself and this section will cover one small aspect of generators: creating a generator that adds a time-stamped migration.
-
-To add a generator to a plugin:
-
- * Write a test
- * Add your instructions to the 'manifest' method of the generator
- * Add any necessary template files to the templates directory
- * Update the USAGE file to add helpful documentation for your generator

== Routes ==
-Testing routes in plugins can be complex, especially if the controllers are also in the plugin itself. Jamis Buck showed a great example of this in http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2006/10/26/monkey-patching-rails-extending-routes-2.
+In a standard 'routes.rb' file you use routes like 'map.connect' or 'map.resources'. You can add your own custom routes from a plugin. This section will describe how to add a custom method called that can be called with 'map.yaffles'.
+
+Testing routes from plugins is slightly different from testing routes in a standard rails app. To begin, add a test like this:
*vendor/plugins/yaffle/test/routing_test.rb*
