In this interesting workshop Pradeep shows us how to integrate in detail with the source code of Rails, reproducing step by step the creation of a plug-in to manage Slice Apps.
With slice we mean an application implemented inside a much bigger Rails application; lets take for example an institutional website, where it is necessary to include a blog; using an approach to Slices it is possible to integrate a Rails blog already available inside of which has already been developed up to now using a twin structure to that father application inserted in the sub folder apps/slices/blog.
To benefit from this approach it is necessary to modify the priority of access of the Rails classes and to add to the framework new load paths.
