1) Install and require gem

Using Bundler

Add the following to Gemfile:

gem 'super_module', '1.0.0'

And run the following command:

bundle

Afterwards, SuperModule will automatically get required in the application (e.g. a Rails application) and be ready for use.

Using RubyGem Directly

Run the following command:

gem install super_module

(add --no-ri --no-rdoc if you wish to skip downloading documentation for a faster install)

Add the following at the top of your Ruby file:

require 'super_module'

2) Include SuperModule at the top of the module

module UserIdentifiable
  include SuperModule
  include ActiveModel::Model

  belongs_to :user
  validates :user_id, presence: true

  def self.most_active_user
    User.find_by_id(select('count(id) as head_count, user_id').group('user_id').order('count(id) desc').first.user_id)
  end

  def slug
    "#{self.class.name}_#{user_id}"
  end
end

3) Mix newly defined module into a class or another super module

class ClubParticipation < ActiveRecord::Base
  include UserIdentifiable
end
class CourseEnrollment < ActiveRecord::Base
  include UserIdentifiable
end
module Accountable
  include SuperModule
  include UserIdentifiable
end
class Activity < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Accountable
end

4) Start using by invoking class methods or instance methods

CourseEnrollment.most_active_user
ClubParticipation.most_active_user
Activity.last.slug
ClubParticipation.create(club_id: club.id, user_id: user.id).slug
CourseEnrollment.new(course_id: course.id).valid?
