I am developing a plugin that needs to use an external gem, namely docx in order to generate word docs. Is there someway to do this or do I have to append it to the Gemfile?

There is a way to do it. You put the following in your plugin.rb file gem 'omniauth-linkedin-oauth2', '0.1.5' Example of usage: plugin.rb main # frozen_string_literal: true # name: discourse-linkedin-auth # about: Provides the ability to use LinkedIn as a login option. # meta…
