I have a module and would like to mixin some methods as class methods and some as instance methods.
For example:
module Foo
def self.class_method
end
def instance_method
end
end
class Bar
include Foo
end
Usage:
Bar.class_method
Bar.new.instance_method
Is it possible to do this in Ruby?
If not, is it possible to define which methods are class methods and which are instance methods within the Bar class?
I don't want the same method defined as both a class and instance method.
This pattern is very common in Ruby. So common, in fact, that ActiveSupport::Concern abstracts it a bit.
Your typical implementation looks like this:
module Foo
def self.included(other_mod)
other_mod.extend ClassMethods
end
def instance_method
end
module ClassMethods
def class_method
end
end
end
class Bar
include Foo
end
You can't accomplish this easily as you describe without somehow splitting the included module into multiple pieces, though, unfortunately.
