Defines a new Module, or re-opens an existing module. Modules in ruby are
|
4
|
+
collections of code, they have two distinct use-cases:
|
5
|
+
|
6
|
+
1. As a Namespace. Often all of the code in a rubygem will be written in the
|
7
|
+
same module to avoid naming collisions with code not in that Gem.
|
8
|
+
|
9
|
+
2. As a set of shared functions. Modules can be included into Classes, which
|
10
|
+
makes all of the methods defined in the module available to instances of the
|
11
|
+
class. This can be used to emulate multiple-inheritance, or to divide one large
|
12
|
+
class into more manageable chunks.
|
13
|
+
|
14
|
+
Note that, though the class `Class` inherits from `Module`, this is more of an
|
15
|
+
implementation detail than a direct, Liskov-substitutable interface: modules
|
16
|
+
can be `include`d, `extend`ed or `using`d, while classes cannot. (On the other
|
17
|
+
hand, classes can be instantiated, where modules cannot).

def foo; 2 end

end
|
22
|
+
class Y; include X end
|
23
|
+
class Z; extend X end
|
24
|

# Now, these work:
|
25
|
+
Y.new.foo
|
26
|
+
Z.foo
|

# Mnemonic! INclude for INstances, Extend for sElf
