# A typical module looks like this:
#
# module M
# def self.included(base)
# base.send(:extend, ClassMethods)
# base.send(:include, InstanceMethods)
# scope :foo, :conditions => { :created_at => nil }
# end
#
# module ClassMethods
# def cm; puts 'I am a class method'; end
# end
#
# module InstanceMethods
# def im; puts 'I am an instance method'; end
# end
# end
#
# By using <tt>ActiveSupport::Concern</tt> the above module could instead be written as:
#
# require 'active_support/concern'
#
# module M
# extend ActiveSupport::Concern
#
# included do
# scope :foo, :conditions => { :created_at => nil }
# end
#
# module ClassMethods
# def cm; puts 'I am a class method'; end
# end
#
# module InstanceMethods
# def im; puts 'I am an instance method'; end
# end
# end
#
# Moreover, it gracefully handles module dependencies. Given a Foo module and a Bar module which depends on the former, we would typically write the following:
#
# module Foo
# def self.included(base)
# # Define some :enhanced_method for Host class
# base.class_eval do
# def self.enhanced_method
# # Do enhanced stuff
# end
# end
# end
# end
#
# module Bar
# def self.included(base)
# base.send(:enhanced_method)
# end
# end
#
# class Host
# include Foo # We need to include this dependency for Bar
# include Bar # Bar is the module that Host really needs
# end
#
# But why should Host care about Bar's dependencies, namely Foo? We could try to hide these from Host directly including Foo in Bar:
#
# module Foo
# def self.included(base)
# # Define some :enhanced_method for Host class
# base.class_eval do
# def self.enhanced_method
# # Do enhanced stuff
# end
# end
# end
# end
#
# module Bar
# include Foo
# def self.included(base)
# base.send(:enhanced_method)
# end
# end
#
# class Host
# include Bar
# end
#
# Unfortunately this won't work, since when Foo is included, its <tt>base</tt> is Bar module, not Host class.
# With <tt>ActiveSupport::Concern</tt>, module dependencies are properly resolved:
#
# require 'active_support/concern'
#
# module Foo
# extend ActiveSupport::Concern
# included do
# class_eval do
# def self.enhanced_method
# # Do enhanced stuff
# end
# end
# end
# end
#
# module Bar
# extend ActiveSupport::Concern
# include Foo
#
# included do
# self.send(:enhanced_method)
# end
# end
#
# class Host
# include Bar # Host only needs to care about Bar without needing to know about its dependencies
# end
#
module ActiveSupport
module Concern
def self.extended(base)
base.instance_variable_set("@_dependencies", [])
end
def append_features(base)
if base.instance_variable_defined?("@_dependencies")
base.instance_variable_get("@_dependencies") << self
return false
else
return false if base < self
@_dependencies.each { |dep| base.send(:include, dep) }
super
base.extend const_get("ClassMethods") if const_defined?("ClassMethods")
base.send :include, const_get("InstanceMethods") if const_defined?("InstanceMethods")
base.class_eval(&@_included_block) if instance_variable_defined?("@_included_block")
end
end
