Gems Recommendation & Improvements

This is to list out the gems & plugin which need improvement or replacement. In the course of development, the recommended solutions will be adopted as part of our Product standards.

Gem/Plugin	Reason	Suggestion/Recommendation	Reference	Products
paypal_adaptive	Not used	Not used, can be removed from Learnexa		Learnexa
progress_bar	Deprecated	Used in just a Rake call. This can be removed or move to a much reputed ruby-progressbar.	https://github.com/peleteiro/progressbar	Learnexa
hpricot	Deprecated	Use Nokogiri: A Faster, Better HTML and XML Parser for Ruby (than Hpricot)	https://github.com/hpricot/hpricot	Learnexa
community_engine	Improvement	Migrate from plugin to gem.	https://github.com/bborn/communityengine	Learnexa
htmlentities	Improvement	A dependency of community_engine plugin. Migrating to new community_engine gem resolves it in Learnexa. No dependency/use in LRS.	https://github.com/bborn/communityengine	Learnexa & LRS
prototype-rails	Not supported in Rails 4.1 & above	This gem will NOT be officially supported on Rails 5.0 and above. jQuery is going to be the default JavaScript library.	https://github.com/rails/prototype-rails#support-for-rails-41-and-above	Learnexa, Performexa & LRS
sprockets-rails	Improvement	The asset pipeline is technically no longer a core feature of Rails 4, it has been extracted out of the framework into the sprockets-rails gem.	https://github.com/rails/sprockets-rails	Performexa & LRS
oauth	Improvement	Migrate to oauth2. Performexa adopted oauth2. (Still in analysis)	http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4113934/how-is-oauth-2-different-from-oauth-1	Learnexa & LRS
