本文档提供了一个详细的Ruby on Rails插件开发教程，该插件名为“acts_as_chicken”，用于向Rails模型中添加鸡的行为特性。通过六个步骤介绍了如何创建并使用此插件，包括设置目录结构、编写初始化文件及核心功能实现等。

From: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowTosPlugins

Step 1

under your_app/vendor/plugins

create a directory “acts_as_chicken”

Step 2

in this directory create a lib directory

so now you should have

your_app/vendor/plugins/acts_as_chicken/lib

Step 3

in the acts_as_chicken directory create the following file with this content:

your_app/vendor/plugins/acts_as_chicken/init.rb

require 'acts_as_chicken'

Step 4

in the lib subdirectory add your code to a file called acts_as_chicken.rb

your_app/vendor/plugins/acts_as_chicken/lib/acts_as_chicken.rb

require 'active_record'

module Foo
  module Acts #:nodoc:
    module Chicken #:nodoc:

      def self.append_features(base)
        super
        base.extend(ClassMethods)
      end

      module ClassMethods
        def acts_as_chicken
          class_eval do
            extend Foo::Acts::Chicken::SingletonMethods
          end
        end
      end

      # add your class methods here
      module SingletonMethods
        def cluck
          'cluck'
        end
        #etc...
      end

    end
  end
end

ActiveRecord::Base.class_eval do
  include Foo::Acts::Chicken
end

Step 5

Use your method in your classes

class Hen < ActiveRecord::Base
 acts_as_chicken
end

Step 6

Use your method in your view.

<%= Hen.cluck %>

Jamis Buck suggested using some name like Foo in the above because “this will allow (potentially) multiple developers to develop identically-named features without conflict.” Other people use “ActiveRecord” in place of the three “Foo”. Jamis doesn’t like this use of ActiveRecord. He says “I’ve noticed many plugin developers taking this particular route, and I’d like to discourage it, strenuously. There really is no need to add your own acts to the ActiveRecord::Acts namespace. Instead, I’d encourage the creation of your own Acts namespace like Foo”

What is missing here is a good description of the Ruby magic that is happening in step 4. Can someone in the know add this (then remove this message).
