Module: British::Initialisable

Defined in:
lib/british.rb

Overview

Public: Submodule to be included in your own classes to use ‘initialise`

As far as ‘initialize` called automatically by a `new` method there is no sense to use it for third party classes.

Class Method Details

.included(host_class) ⇒ Object

Public: On module being included do:

1. Check if it's a global include
2. Add and alias of the parent's `initialize` (for `super` calls)
3. Create your own initialize method (to be auto-called by the `new`)

Returns nothing.
