Until now, we were developing the functionalities from scratch. The reason was that the requirements were TaleWiki-specific. However, the Tag management is totally a different story. Today, tags have become a common tool that aid in searching. Hence, components are available for RoR that provide the basic functionalities required for Tag management. In RoR, components are known as plug-ins. To use a plug-in as the base of our development, the following steps are required:
Select a plug-in for the Tag management
Install the plug-in
Set up tables as required by the plug-in
Develop the functionalities using the plug-in
Whenever you want to use any plug-in, there may be different options available. Therefore, the first step is a common step when you decide to use a plug-in. Now, let us look at each step in detail.
