Last Update: Fri Aug 03 07:46:27 -0600 2007

Synopsis

An easy way to implement the facade pattern in your classes. In short, this library autowraps class methods from another class as instance methods of the current class.

Prerequisites

Ruby 1.8.0 or later

Installation

rake test (optional)
rake install (non-gem) or rake install_gem (gem)

Usage

   
   require "facade"
   class Foo < String
      extend Facade
      facade File, :dirname, :basename
      facade Dir
   end

   f = Foo.new("/home/djberge")
   puts f.basename # 'djberge'
   puts f.dirname  # '/home'
