They live in their own subdirectory and are included through bundler via their path. This way changes to the engines immediately affect the server as if they were in the main `app` directory. Currently Leap Web consists of 4 Engines: * [core](https://github.com/leapcode/leap_web/blob/master/core) - ships some dependencies that are used accross all engines. This might be removed at some point. * [users](https://github.com/leapcode/leap_web/blob/master/users) - user registration and authorization * [certs](https://github.com/leapcode/leap_web/blob/master/certs) - Cert distribution for the EIP client -* [help](https://github.com/leapcode/leap_web/blob/master/help)- Help ticket management +* [help](https://github.com/leapcode/leap_web/blob/master/help) - Help ticket management ## Creating a new engine ## ### Rails plugin new ### Create the basic tree structure for an engine using -<code> +``` rails plugin new ENGINE_NAME -O --full -</code> +``` -'''-O''' will skip active record and not add a dev dependency on sqlite. -'''-full''' will create a directory structure with config/routes and app and a basic engine file. +`-O` will skip active record and not add a dev dependency on sqlite. +`-full` will create a directory structure with config/routes and app and a basic engine file.
