Rails Engine Released
2005-11-01
This article is obsolete now that Rails 2.3 has Engines in core.
Over on the Rails mailing list, James Adams reports the initial release of Rails Engines.
What are engines ? They are plugins, more or less, except they also bundle controllers, views, partials, models and everything else you’d usually need in a component.
In fact, Rails Components could very well be implemented using Rails Engines.
I wonder how routes are handled. Can engines provide their own routes, or must the engine user define the routes he wants ? Gotta try that login_engine and see for myself.
