Instance Attribute Details

#autoloaded_dirs ⇒ Object (readonly)

We keep track of autoloaded directories to remove them from the registry at the end of eager loading.

Files are removed as they are autoloaded, but directories need to wait due to concurrency (see why in Zeitwerk::Loader::Callbacks#on_dir_autoloaded).

# File 'lib/zeitwerk/loader.rb', line 42

def autoloaded_dirs
  @autoloaded_dirs
end

#autoloads ⇒ Object (readonly)

Maps absolute paths for which an autoload has been set —and not executed— to their corresponding parent class or module and constant name.

"/Users/fxn/blog/app/models/user.rb"          => [Object, :User],
"/Users/fxn/blog/app/models/hotel/pricing.rb" => [Hotel, :Pricing]
...

# File 'lib/zeitwerk/loader.rb', line 32

def autoloads
  @autoloads
end

#namespace_dirs ⇒ Object (readonly)

Maps namespace constant paths to their respective directories.

For example, given this mapping:

"Admin" => [
  "/Users/fxn/blog/app/controllers/admin",
  "/Users/fxn/blog/app/models/admin",
  ...
]

when ‘Admin` gets defined we know that it plays the role of a namespace and that its children are spread over those directories. We’ll visit them to set up the corresponding autoloads.

# File 'lib/zeitwerk/loader.rb', line 76

def namespace_dirs
  @namespace_dirs
end

#shadowed_files ⇒ Object (readonly)

A shadowed file is a file managed by this loader that is ignored when setting autoloads because its matching constant is already taken.

This private set is populated as we descend. For example, if the loader has only scanned the top-level, ‘shadowed_files` does not have shadowed files that may exist deep in the project tree yet.



87
88
89
 
# File 'lib/zeitwerk/loader.rb', line 87

def shadowed_files
  @shadowed_files
end

#to_unload ⇒ Object (readonly)

Stores metadata needed for unloading. Its entries look like this:

"Admin::Role" => [".../admin/role.rb", [Admin, :Role]]

The cpath as key helps implementing unloadable_cpath? The file name is stored in order to be able to delete it from $LOADED_FEATURES, and the pair [Module, Symbol] is used to remove_const the constant from the class or module object.

If reloading is enabled, this hash is filled as constants are autoloaded or eager loaded. Otherwise, the collection remains empty.

.all_dirs ⇒ Object

.eager_load_all ⇒ Object

  end
end

    rescue SetupRequired
      # This is fine, we eager load what can be eager loaded.
    end
  end
end

.for_gem(warn_on_extra_files: true) ⇒ Object

This is a shortcut for

require "zeitwerk"
loader = Zeitwerk::Loader.new
loader.tag = File.basename(__FILE__, ".rb")
loader.inflector = Zeitwerk::GemInflector.new(__FILE__)
loader.push_dir(__dir__)

except that this method returns the same object in subsequent calls from the same file, in the unlikely case the gem wants to be able to reload.

This method returns a subclass of Zeitwerk::Loader, but the exact type is private, client code can only rely on the interface.

end

Instance Method Details

#reload ⇒ Object

Unloads all loaded code, and calls setup again so that the loader is able to pick any changes in the file system.

This method is not thread-safe, please see how this can be achieved by client code in the README of the project.

    end

    on_setup_callbacks.each(&:call)

    @setup = true
  end
end

#unload ⇒ Object

Removes loaded constants and configured autoloads.

The objects the constants stored are no longer reachable through them. In addition, since said objects are normally not referenced from anywhere else, they are eligible for garbage collection, which would effectively unload them.

This method is public but undocumented. Main interface is ‘reload`, which means `unload` + `setup`. This one is available to be used together with `unregister`, which is undocumented too.
