ImportRb

Gem to experiment with namespace on read semantics.

Installation

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add import_rb 

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem install import_rb

Usage

Consider this file sample.rb:

class Alpha
  def speak = "alpha hath spoken"
end

class Beta
  def speak = "beta hath spoken"
end

class Gamma
  def speak = "gamma hath spoken"
end

You can import specific constants from a file into your file:

import [:Alpha, :Beta], from: 'spec/fixtures/sample.rb'

You can import into the global namespace or into another constant:

class SomeClass; end
module SomeModule; end

SomeClass.import [:Alpha, :Beta], from: 'sample.rb'
SomeModule.import [:Alpha, :Beta], from: 'sample.rb'

You can also import a constant and give it another name:

import [:Alpha.as(:Alif), :Beta], from: 'spec/fixtures/sample.rb'

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
