- pkd 5y agoConfusingly, Rails also has plugins as a separate concept.
- byroot 5y agoNot since about a decade. Plugins were Rails 1-2 era.
- pkd 5y agoTrue, I have not seen them used anymore but the documentation still refers to them (https://guides.rubyonrails.org/plugins.html https://guides.rubyonrails.org/plugins.html) and the rails plugin new command still exists (on rails 6, at least. Don't have 7.x on this machine yet).
