GemPlugin is a system that lets your users install gems and lets you
|
||
|
|
load them as additional features to use in your software. It
|
||
|
|
originated from the Mongrel (mongrel.rubyforge.org) project but proved
|
||
|
|
useful enough to break out into a separate project.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
GemPlugin works by listing the gems installed, and doing a require_gem
|
||
|
|
on any that have the right dependencies. For example, if a gem
|
||
|
|
depends on "gem_plugin" and "mongrel" then it will load as a Mongrel
|
||
|
|
plugin. This makes it so that users of the plugins only need to gem
|
||
|
|
install (and maybe config a bit), and plugin authors only need to make
|
||
|
|
gems.
