The documentation is very straight forward and the mentioned example also cleared all the lines except the one mentioned inside **.
http://ruby-doc.org/core-2.0.0/Module.html#method-i-module_function Creates module functions for the named methods. These functions may be called with the module as a receiver, and also become available as instance methods to classes that mix in the module. Module functions are copies of the original, and so may be changed independently. The instance-method versions are made private. *If used with no arguments, subsequently defined methods become module functions.* module Mod def one "This is one" end module_function :one end class Cls include Mod def call_one one end end Mod.one #=> "This is one" c = Cls.new c.call_one #=> "This is one" module Mod def one "This is the new one" end end Mod.one #=> "This is one" c.call_one #=> "This is the new one" Please help me to understand what does mean by "If used with no arguments, subsequently defined methods become module functions."? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
