API

require_module(fullpath)

Evaluates file content inside Module.new and returns new module

require_module('/home/user/rubyapp/lib', cache: false) # returns #<Module:0000012312>
require_module('/home/user/rubyapp/lib') # returns :HomeUserRubyappLib

require_module_relative(relative_path)

Similar to "require_module", but path is relative to file, where function is executed

Check lib/require_module.rb for more

Example

If you don't want you modules to intersect, they should have unique name. I was tired of coming up with new names, so created this gem.

Instead of

# lib.rb
module GloballyUniqueName
  module_function

  def somefn
    'Ima helper'
  end
end

# consumer.rb
require_relative './lib'

module Consumer
  include GloballyUniqueName

  def foo
    somefn == 'Ima helper'
  end
end

You can write this

# lib.rb
module_function

def somefn
  'Ima helper'
end

# consumer.rb
module Consumer
  include require_module_relative('./lib')

  def foo
    somefn == 'Ima helper'
  end
end
