What is Convenient Service extra?

  • An extra is a way to replace multiple often repeated plugin-specific require calls with a single one.

    For example, without an extra:

    require "awesome_print"
require "convenient_service"

require "convenient_service/service/plugins/has_awesome_print_inspect"
require "convenient_service/service/plugins/has_j_send_result/entities/result/plugins/has_awesome_print_inspect"
require "convenient_service/service/plugins/has_j_send_result/entities/result/plugins/has_j_send_status_and_attributes/entities/data/plugins/has_awesome_print_inspect"
require "convenient_service/service/plugins/has_j_send_result/entities/result/plugins/has_j_send_status_and_attributes/entities/message/plugins/has_awesome_print_inspect"
require "convenient_service/service/plugins/has_j_send_result/entities/result/plugins/has_j_send_status_and_attributes/entities/status/plugins/has_awesome_print_inspect"
require "convenient_service/service/plugins/has_j_send_result/entities/result/plugins/has_j_send_status_and_attributes/entities/code/plugins/has_awesome_print_inspect"
require "convenient_service/service/plugins/can_have_steps/entities/step/plugins/has_awesome_print_inspect"
require "convenient_service/feature/plugins/has_awesome_print_inspect"

    With an extra:

    require "awesome_print"
require "convenient_service"

require "convenient_service/extras/standard/config/options/awesome_print_inspect"

  • Extras are expected to be loaded from project entry points such as Rails initializers or spec_helper.rb.
