module Rails
  # Rails::Engine allows you to wrap a specific Rails application and share it accross
  # different applications. Since Rails 3.0, every Rails::Application is nothing
  # more than an Engine, allowing you to share it very easily.
  #
  # Any Rails::Engine is also a Rails::Railtie, so the same methods (like rake_tasks and
  # generators) and configuration available in the latter can also be used in the former.
  #
  # == Creating an Engine
  #
  # In Rails versions before to 3.0, your gems automatically behaved as Engine, however
  # this coupled Rails to Rubygems. Since Rails 3.0, if you want a gem to automatically
  # behave as Engine, you have to specify an Engine for it somewhere inside your plugin
  # lib folder (similar with how we spceify a Railtie):
  #
  #   # lib/my_engine.rb
  #   module MyEngine
  #     class Engine < Rails::Engine
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # Then ensure that this file is loaded at the top of your config/application.rb (or in
  # your Gemfile) and it will automatically load models, controllers, helpers and metals
  # inside app, load routes at "config/routes.rb", load locales at "config/locales/*",
  # load tasks at "lib/tasks/*".
  #
  # == Configuration
  #
  # Besides the Railtie configuration which is shared across the application, in a
  # Rails::Engine you can access load_paths, eager_load_paths and load_once_paths,
  # which differently from a Railtie, are scoped to the current Engine.
  #
  # Example:
  #
  #   class MyEngine < Rails::Engine
  #     # Add a load path for this specific Engine
  #     config.load_paths << File.expand_path("../lib/some/path", __FILE__)
  #
  #     initializer "my_engine.add_middleware" do |app|
  #       app.middlewares.use MyEngine::Middleware
  #     end
  #   end
  # 
  # == Paths
  #
  # Since Rails 3.0, both your Application and Engines do not have hardcoded paths.
  # This means that you are not required to place your controllers at "app/controllers",
  # but in any place which you find convenient.
  #
  # For example, let's suppose you want to lay your controllers at lib/controllers, all
  # you need to do is:
  #
  #   class MyEngine < Rails::Engine
  #     paths.app.controllers = "lib/controllers"
  #   end
  #
  # You can also have your controllers being loaded from both "app/controllers" and
  # "lib/controllers":
  #
  #   class MyEngine < Rails::Engine
  #     paths.app.controllers << "lib/controllers"
  #   end
  #
  # The available paths in an Engine are:
  #
  #   class MyEngine < Rails::Engine
  #     paths.app                 = "app"
  #     paths.app.controllers     = "app/controllers"
  #     paths.app.helpers         = "app/helpers"
  #     paths.app.models          = "app/models"
  #     paths.app.metals          = "app/metal"
  #     paths.app.views           = "app/views"
  #     paths.lib                 = "lib"
  #     paths.lib.tasks           = "lib/tasks"
  #     paths.config              = "config"
  #     paths.config.initializers = "config/initializers"
  #     paths.config.locales      = "config/locales"
  #     paths.config.routes       = "config/routes.rb"
  #   end
  #
  # Your Application class adds a couple more paths to this set. And as in your Application,
  # all folders under "app" are automatically added to the load path. So if you have
  # "app/observers", it's added by default.
