How to include a function from a different file in a module

Ruby
1

Hi!

Would it be possible to have a module with one or several of its methods
(source code) stored in a different file?

Something like this with “func_b” stored in a different file than the
module.

file1.rb
module MyModule
def func_a
…
end

require “file2.rb”

end

file2.rb
def func_b
…
end

(This gived the error “private method `func_b called for MyModule:Module
(NoMethodError)”)

BR,
Andreas

In file2.rb you have to place func_b inside the module too:

file2.rb
module MyModule
def func_b
…
end
end

Classes are open. So are modules. You can define your module in 2 files
as Jesus described.

To use the module, you need to require both files.

require ‘file1’
require ‘file2’

Hope this helps.
