Module: ActiveSupport::Autoload
Overview
Autoload
and eager load conveniences for your library.
This module allows you to define autoloads based on ::Rails
conventions (i.e. no need to define the path it is automatically guessed based on the filename) and also define a set of constants that needs to be eager loaded:
module MyLib
extend ActiveSupport::Autoload
autoload :Model
eager_autoload do
autoload :Cache
end
end
Then your library can be eager loaded by simply calling:
MyLib.eager_load!
