DefinedMethods

DefinedMethods is a utility module that returns methods defined in a given object. These methods are NOT from included or extended modules. These methods are also NOT from parent objects. By object, it means either a class or module.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'defined_methods'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install defined_methods

Usage

Given a class:

class Arithmeter
  def self.sum(a, b)
    arithmeter = new
    arithmeter.add a, b
  end

  def add(a, b)
    do_add a, b
  end

  private

  def do_add(a, b)
    perform_addition a, b
  end

  protected

  def perform_addition(a, b)
    a + b
  end
end

When calling DefinedMethods.in(Arithmeter), it will return

[{:object_name=>"Arithmeter",
  :object=>#<Class:Arithmeter>,
  :methods=>[:sum],
  :private=>false,
  :protected=>false,
  :singleton=>true},
 {:object_name=>"Arithmeter",
  :object=>#<Class:Arithmeter>,
  :methods=>[],
  :private=>true,
  :protected=>false,
  :singleton=>true},
 {:object_name=>"Arithmeter",
  :object=>#<Class:Arithmeter>,
  :methods=>[],
  :private=>false,
  :protected=>true,
  :singleton=>true},
 {:object_name=>"Arithmeter",
  :object=>Arithmeter,
  :methods=>[:add],
  :private=>false,
  :protected=>false,
  :singleton=>false},
 {:object_name=>"Arithmeter",
  :object=>Arithmeter,
  :methods=>[:do_add],
  :private=>true,
  :protected=>false,
  :singleton=>false},
 {:object_name=>"Arithmeter",
  :object=>Arithmeter,
  :methods=>[:perform_addition],
  :private=>false,
  :protected=>true,
  :singleton=>false}]
