ArDes Rails Plugins
August 3rd, 2006
Now that we've got our shiny new server, I need to find the time to write about, and better document, the 30 or so rails plugins that we've developed over the last few months.
When writing library code for projects lately I've been using the 'create a plugin' mentality instead of 'create my own framework'. The former is better because (i) the less dependencies a piece of code has the more likely it will get reused, so (ii) it will get better and stay up to date with the underlying framework, and (iii) a small independent piece of functionality is easier to define, understand, and write tests for.
So stay tuned for some write ups, starting with inherit_views; a plugin that lets your controllers inherit views from other controllers.
