reverserequire

= reverse_require

• http://rubyforge.org/projects/reverserequire/
• Postmodern Modulus III

== DESCRIPTION:

reverse_require requires specific files from the gems which depend on a certain RubyGem and contain the specified path. Using reverse_require one can allow others to easily extend the functionality of a RubyGem. Simply add reverse_require into the code of your RubyGem:

reverse_require 'my_gem', 'some/path'

Then other gems which depend upon +my_gem+ merely have to provide some/path within their lib/ directory, and reverse_require will load them all at run-time. This ability makes designing plug-in systems for a RubyGem trivial.

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

• Require files from all the related gems of a RubyGem.

== REQUIREMENTS:

• RubyGems

== INSTALL:

$ sudo gem install reverserequire
