=== Background
This Rails plugin allows you to execute code blocks in a background task with a very intuitive and easy syntax. It is as easy as that:
background do
# do some time-consuming task
end
Refer to the Kernel#background documentation for details.
=== Dependencies
There are no dependencies besides ActiveSupport, which is required by Rails anyways.
=== Credits
This plugin uses the proc_source.rb file by Florian Gro, found here:

=== Installation
Just copy the background folder into vendor/plugins, and you’re good to go.
