You pass it the base module (or symbol of) your Camping app and one or more shared helper modules, and it'll inject them into your Camping app. (Obviously the symbol parameters won't work if you have nested modules...you'll have to pass in the module constant instead...the symbols are just syntactic sugar to echo Camping.goes().)</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>class TentSteak</DIV><DIV> def self.bootstrap(mod_or_sym, *appmods)</DIV><DIV> @@rootmod = mod_or_sym.instance_of?(Module) ? mod_or_sym : const_get(mod_or_sym.to_s)</DIV><DIV> inject appmods</DIV><DIV> end</DIV><DIV> def self.inject(*mod_or_syms)</DIV><DIV> @@rootmod.module_eval "class Mab < Markaby::Builder; include #{mod_or_syms.join(', ')}; end"</DIV><DIV> end</DIV><DIV> def self.view_method_defined?(meth)</DIV><DIV> @@rootmod::Mab.method_defined?(meth)</DIV><DIV> end</DIV><DIV>end</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Usage is like this:</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV> Camping.goes :MyApp</DIV><DIV> TentSteak.bootstrap :MyApp, :MyHelperModule, :MyOtherHelpers</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I'd love to hear if there's a better way to do this injection.
