# This extension is usesd in order to expose the object of the implementing class
# to liquid as it were a Drop. It also limits the liquid-callable methods of the instance
# to the allowed method passed with the liquid_methods call
# Example:
#
# class SomeClass
# liquid_methods :an_allowed_method
#
# def an_allowed_method
# 'this comes from an allowed method'
# end
# def unallowed_method
# 'this will never be an output'
# end
# end
#
# if you want to extend the drop to other methods you can defines more methods
# in the class <YourClass>::LiquidDropClass
#
# class SomeClass::LiquidDropClass
# def another_allowed_method
# 'and this from another allowed method'
# end
# end
# end
#
# usage:
# @something = SomeClass.new
#
# template:
# {{something.an_allowed_method}}{{something.unallowed_method}} {{something.another_allowed_method}}
#
# output:
# 'this comes from an allowed method and this from another allowed method'
#
# You can also chain associations, by adding the liquid_method call in the
# association models.
