LowLoad is really dumb; like a bull in a china shop, smashing through fragile dependencies to autoload your code without manual require_relative calls.
First it goes through all your files and notes their constant definitions and their file paths. Then it goes through the same directories again and loads each file into Ruby, but this time loading that file's dependencies first which we now know the location of. It doesn't wait to encounter an unknown constant then load that constant from a module namespace that matches your folder structure, that would be dumb.
LowLoad supports normal Ruby (.rb) files as well as a few other embedded formats.
LowLoad supports loading RBX files. RBX files are Ruby files containing HTML markup with the file extension .rbx.
Antlers syntax such as <{ ChildNode }> can be embedded inside the render method of your RBX file.
- Folders are often organised by the kind of file it is, a bunch of views for example. But namespaces should be organised by your domain — they should be different
- You should be able to mix autoloading with manual
requirecalls for stuff like gems, and you can even keep usingrequire_relativewhen you feel like it
Add gem 'lowload' to your Gemfile then:
bundle install
