Instance Method Details

- (Object) fetch_nested(*args)

Look out for any class and/or module defined within the receiver. The receiver must be a class or a module.

call-seq: MyModule.fetch_nested => returns a flat array of every first-level nested classes and modules MyModule.fetch_nested(:only => :classes) => returns a flat array of every first-level nested classes MyModule.fetch_nested(:only => :modules) => returns a flat array of every first-level nested modules MyModule.fetch_nested(:recursive => true) => performs a recursive search through descendants, returns one flat array MyModule.fetch_nested([options]) { |e| … } => yield elements

The matching elements are returned or yielded as Class or Module, so one can use them directly to instanciate, mixin…

Beware that when using the block form, the same element may be yielded several times, depending on inclusions and requirements redundancy. The flat array contains uniq entries. # TODO: monitor yielded elements and yield uniq

- (Object) unextend

Nice little hack allowing to unextend modules.
