Constant Summary collapse

DEFAULT_OPTIONS =

Searches for models that use has_many_polymorphs or acts_as_double_polymorphic_join and makes sure that they get loaded during app initialization. This ensures that helper methods are injected into the target classes.

Note that you can override DEFAULT_OPTIONS via Rails::Configuration#has_many_polymorphs_options. For example, if you need an application extension to be required before has_many_polymorphs loads your models, add an after_initialize block in config/environment.rb that appends to the 'requirements' key:

Rails::Initializer.run do |config|     
  # your other configuration here

  config.after_initialize do
    config.has_many_polymorphs_options['requirements'] << 'lib/my_extension'
  end    
end

:file_pattern => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/**/*.rb",
:file_exclusions => ['svn', 'CVS', 'bzr'],
:methods => ['has_many_polymorphs', 'acts_as_double_polymorphic_join'],
:requirements => []}
@@options =
