Plugins provide: - - * a way for developers to share bleeding-edge ideas without hurting the stable code base - * a segmented architecture so that units of code can be fixed or updated on their own release schedule - * an outlet for the core developers so that they don’t have to include every cool new feature under the sun - -After reading this guide you should be familiar with: - - * Creating a plugin from scratch - * Writing and running tests for the plugin - * Storing models, views, controllers, helpers and even other plugins in your plugins - * Writing generators - * Writing custom Rake tasks in your plugin - * Generating RDoc documentation for your plugin - * Avoiding common pitfalls with 'init.rb' - -This guide describes how to build a test-driven plugin that will: - - * Extend core ruby classes like Hash and String - * Add methods to ActiveRecord::Base in the tradition of the 'acts_as' plugins - * Add a view helper that can be used in erb templates - * Add a new generator that will generate a migration - * Add a custom generator command - * A custom route method that can be used in routes.rb - -For the purpose of this guide pretend for a moment that you are an avid bird watcher.
