In Ruby, how can I access the calling class's constants from a parent class?
Module Foo
class Base
def test()
#how do I access calling class's constants here?
#ex: CallingClass.SOME_CONST
end
end
end
class Bar < Foo::Base
SOME_CONST = 'test'
end
This seems to work - it forces constant lookup to scope into the current instance's class
module Foo
class Base
def test
self.class::SOME_CONST
end
end
end
class Bar < Foo::Base
SOME_CONST = 'test'
end
Bar.new.test # => 'test'
