Sane tools for Ruby without monkey-patching. This is basically code usually copy from one project to another.
Goal of this library is to be lightweight and unobtrusive, so you don't have to feel guilty for using it. Mixins are lazy-loaded.
Included Tools
Tool::Autoloader
Sets up autoload
directives for nested constants. Has the advantage of
setting these up when included instead of hooking into const_missing
, like
ActiveSupport does. The means it is fast, transparent, and does not alter
constant lookup in any way.
module Foo
include Tool::Autoloader
end
If you don't want to include the module, use setup
:
Tool::Autoloader.setup Foo
Tool::Lock
Adds a synchronize
method that behaves like Rubinius.synchronize(self)
,
i.e. recursively going through the lock will not result in a deadlock:
class Foo
include Tool::Lock
def recursive_fun(i = 0)
return i if i == 5
# THIS NEEDS TO BE THREAD-SAFE!!!
synchronize { recursive_fun(i + 1) }
end
end
It will use Rubinius.synchronize
when on Rubinius.
Tool.set
Simplified version of Sinatra's set:
class Foo
Tool.set(self, :foo, :foo)
end
class Bar < Foo
end
Bar.foo # => :foo
Bar.foo = :bar
Bar.foo # => :bar
Foo.foo # => :foo
