abstract_type

This is a small standalone gem featuring a module ripped out from axiom. It allows to declare abstract_type classes and modules in an unobstrusive way.

Examples

“uby class Foo include AbstractType

# Declare abstract instance method abstract_method :bar

# Declare abstract singleton method abstract_singleton_method :baz end

Foo.new # raises NotImplementedError: Foo is an abstract type Foo.baz # raises NotImplementedError: Foo.baz is not implemented

Subclassing to allow instantiation

class Baz < Foo; end

object = Baz.new object.bar # raises NotImplementedError: Baz#bar is not implemented

“
