Bar
不能是模块和类,它们是不同的东西。
更改bar.rb
为module Bar
或更改other_bar.rb
为class Bar
。
无论是哪一种,都必须是一致的。你不能把一个换成另一个。问题是应该是哪个?如果Bar
是其他类的容器并且只有几个全局单例方法?然后是一个module
。但如果它可以被实例化,那么它就是一个class
.
是的,你可以嵌套类。这是完全可以接受的:
class Bar
class OtherBar
puts "running module Bar with class OtherBar"
end
end
Bar::OtherBar.new # yay!
模块和类可以以任何你认为合适的方式嵌套在其中。
编辑一些带注释的示例以帮助清除这一切:
module Foo
# Foo::A
class A
# simple namespaced class
end
# Foo::B, inherits from Foo::A
class B < A
# inherting from a class in the same namespace
end
# modify Foo::B
class B
# When modifying an existing class you don't need to define the superclass
# again. It will raise an error if you reopen a class and define a different
# superclass. But leaving it off is fine.
end
# nested module Foo::Inner
module Inner
# Foo::Inner::C
class C
# simple more deeply namespaced class
end
# Foo::Inner::D, inherits from Foo::A
class D < A
# inherits from a class in a parent namespace
# works because ruby looks upward in the nesting chain to find missing constants.
end
# Foo::Inner::Foo
class Foo
# simple nested class with the same name as something in a parent namespace
# This is a totally different Foo, because it's in a different namespace
end
# Foo::Inner::E, inherits from Foo::Inner::Foo
class E < Foo
# class inhereting from another class in the same namespace
# Foo::Inner::Foo is "closer" than the global Foo, so that gets found as the superclass
end
# Foo::Inner::F, which mixes in the gloabl module Foo
class F
# the :: constant prefix says to start looking in the global namespace
# so here we include the top level module Foo, and not the "closer" in namespace Foo::Inner::Foo
include ::Foo
# This is an error. This attempts to include the class Foo::Inner::Foo since thats the closest by namespace
# thing that matches the constant Foo. (you can't include classes, only modules)
# You need the :: prefix to grab the global Foo module
include Foo
end
end
end
# Z decalred in the global namespace, which inherits from the deeply nested class Foo::Inner::C
class Z < Foo::Inner::C
# Any class anywhere can inherit from any other class in any namespace.
# Just drill in!
end
# the following 2 declarations at this point would be identical
# This defines a class deep with in a namespace
class Foo::Inner::Foo::Bar < Foo::A
end
# same as above, but reopens each namespace
module Foo
module Inner
class Foo
class Bar < ::Foo::A
end
end
end
end
