Is there a way to include only certain methods from a module instead
of all the methods?
Given the following:
module ActsAsAnything
def self.included(base)
base.extend(ClassMethods)
end
module ClassMethods
def acts_as_anything(opts = {})
# Based on the options based in, I would like to selectively
include certain methods from
# the InstanceMethods module.
# Something like:
include ActsAsAnything::InstanceMethods.instance_method(:index)
if opts[:include_index]
include ActsAsAnything::InstanceMethods.instance_method(:list)
if opts[:include_list]
# (Note the 'if' condition above is just for example.... )
end
end
module InstanceMethods
def index
# .....
end
def list
# ....
end
end
end
However, 'include' requires a module and I can't figure out the proper
syntax, or even if this is possible, to just include a certain method
from it. The is for a standard acts_as_.... Rails plug-in.
Any help or guidance is much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Kenny
