Dynamic super-overridable methods in Ruby – The Pug Automatic

Updated . Posted . Visible to the public. Repeats.

How a macro can dynamically define a method that can be overridden with super in the same class.

You can use the with_module_inheritance helper below if you want. It can be handy to make parts of a modularity Show archive.org snapshot trait super-able.

# ./lib/ext/module/with_module_inheritance.rb
#
# This macro allows you to define methods in a modularity trait that can be
# modified using the `super` keyword
# See https://thepugautomatic.com/2013/07/dsom/
module WithModuleInheritance
  def with_module_inheritance(&block)
    anonymous_module = Module.new
    include anonymous_module
    anonymous_module.module_eval &block
  end
end
Module.include(WithModuleInheritance)
