This is a dev feature for our beloved plugin authors.

With this commit [DEV: rails generator to create plugin skeleton (#6332) · discourse/discourse@ef36fdf · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/commit/ef36fdfb64a06b91503b5ad270daebda96d00201) you can now use rails generators to create plugins:

```plaintext
rails g plugin --help
rails g plugin DiscourseRacoon

```

This will create a complete discourse plugin skeleton in your plugins directory:

```plaintext
rails g plugin DiscourseRacoon --no-scheduled-job
      create plugins/discourse-racoon/README.md
      create plugins/discourse-racoon/LICENSE
      create plugins/discourse-racoon/plugin.rb
      create plugins/discourse-racoon/assets/stylesheets/common/discourse-racoon.scss
      create plugins/discourse-racoon/assets/javascripts/initializers/discourse-racoon.es6

```

It’s currently doing very few things #pr-welcome on this if you see things to improve or options to add.

@angus @joebuhlig Happy to hear your thoughts on this.

Thanks @david for pushing me to write this as a generator.
