Does using engines in Rails 4 work in the same way as in Rails 3.x?

1

Through a number of searches over the last few days regarding application modularisation with Rails, I found extensive material on Engines in Rails 3.x, but practically nothing about Rails 4. I asked for references to a friend and he told me in version 4 of the framework, the modularization must be done exclusively through gems . I found it rather absurd, given the apparent ease that engines provide.

Question:

In Rails 4 does the use of engines take place in the same way as its previous versions (3.x)?

As I understand it, the support for the so-called plugins has been discontinued in rails 4. However when creating a new engine this is transparent. However what you do when generating a new engine is actually creating a gem.

No guide already has a tutorial explaining all the steps to create an engine in rails 4.
