module ActiveSupport
# lazy_load_hooks allows Rails to lazily load a lot of components and thus
# making the app boot faster. Because of this feature now there is no need to
# require ActiveRecord::Base at boot time purely to apply
# configuration. Instead a hook is registered that applies configuration once
# ActiveRecord::Base is loaded. Here ActiveRecord::Base is
# used as example but this feature can be applied elsewhere too.
#
# Here is an example where +on_load+ method is called to register a hook.
#
# initializer 'active_record.initialize_timezone' do
# ActiveSupport.on_load(:active_record) do
# self.time_zone_aware_attributes = true
# self.default_timezone = :utc
# end
# end
#
# When the entirety of +activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb+ has been
# evaluated then +run_load_hooks+ is invoked. The very last line of
# +activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb+ is:
#
# ActiveSupport.run_load_hooks(:active_record, ActiveRecord::Base)
