MAbbre

MAbbre allows a group of methods in a Class or a Module to be accessed using an abbreviated form. These methods can be defined anywhere within a hierarchy of inclusion and/or inheritance.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "mabbre"

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install mtrack

Usage

Step 1: Define methods within an allow_abbreviated block in a Class or a Module:

require "mabbre"

module M
  extend MAbbre::Mixin
  allow_abbreviated do
    def very_long_method
      "This method has a very long name."
    end
  end
end

class C
  include M
  allow_abbreviated do
    def another_long_method
      "Another method with a long name."
    end
  end
end

class D < C
  allow_abbreviated do
    def yet_another_long_method
      "Yet another looong method name."
    end
  end
end

Step 2: Call these methods using a shortened name!

o = D.new
o.very     #=> "This method has a very long name."
o.another  #=> "Another method with a long name."
o.yet      #=> "Yet another looong method name."
