Extract Part Of Class In Ruby Into Separate Class
When you need to split class into seveal parts...
New file:
ClassPart = proc do
<copy here code you want to move out of the main class>
end
Original class:
class MainClass
class_eval &ClassPart
...
end
I used this approach to create a recycled bin: when i find some functionality not very valuable i move it to the 'recycled bin' part of class. i keep it there for a while. then i delete it altogether from code.
