What's your use-case?
Theoretically you can stick a normal Rails (2.3.x) app under /vendor/
plugins and it will get picked up.
Probably the most important part (in my view) is to namespace your
plugin including the routes. E.g. we have a plugin which handles all
site related stuff like users, sections, menus, groups so it has:
- app
- controllers
- site
- groups
- menus
- sections
- users
...
in your routes you'd have:
ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
map.namespace(:site) do |site|
site.resources :groups
site.resources :menus
site.resources :sections
site.resources :users
end
end
If you start up your main app it will pick-up routes and classes from
your plugin and make it available within the main application.
