Discussion on: Make a Ruby gem configurable

[Vinicius Stock]

I know it exists, but haven't used it myself. Do you find it more convenient? The only drawback in my opinion would be adding activesupport as a dependency if all you need is the configurable part.

I do! I've read about the different ways to do configurations, several blog posts from different people that I admire. I can't seem to find it in my bookmarks right now, but it's actually how I discovered it... the below is literally pulled from the Rails docs. But yeah, I've done none of the other variants, and found yours very interesting.

require 'active_support/configurable'

class User
  include ActiveSupport::Configurable
end

user = User.new

user.config.allowed_access = true
user.config.level = 1

user.config.allowed_access # => true
user.config.level          # => 1
