How do we use a module method inside a class method without extending the module?
module TestModule
def module_method
"module"
end
end
class TestClass
include TestModule
def self.testSelfMethod
str = module_method
puts str
end
TestClass.testSelfMethod
end
Then it returns:
test.rb:11:in `testSelfMethod': undefined local variable or method `module_method' for TestClass:Class (NameError)
By including the module, you make module_method
is an instance method on TestClass
, meaning you need to invoke it on an instance of the class, not the class itself.
If you want to make it a method on the class itself, you need to extend TestModule
, not include
it.
module TestModule
def module_method
"module"
end
end
class TestClass
extend TestModule # extend, not include
def self.testSelfMethod
str = module_method
puts str
end
TestClass.testSelfMethod # "method"
end
Just because comments are too few characters, but agree with maegar :
module TestModule
def module_method
"module"
end
end
class TestClass
def self.testSelfMethod
str = module_method + " from class"
puts str
end
def testSelfMethod
str = module_method + " from instance"
puts str
end
end
TestClass.extend TestModule
TestClass.testSelfMethod # => module from class
TestClass.include TestModule
TestClass.new.testSelfMethod # => module from instance
