ruby_context

Ruby Context

This gem allows you to define and override global values inspired in Reactjs Context api

You can use this gem in any ruby project, including Rails.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'ruby-context'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Usage in Rails

imagine you want to override rails logger

Create a config/initializers/app_logger.rb

# Default value isn't necessary, but good

APP_LOGGER = Context::Context.new(default_value: Rails.logger)

Image you have a worker called send_mail_worker.rb and you want that every call to Rails.logger should be override to a different log.

class SendMailWorker
    def do_work
       email_logger = Logger.new
       APP_LOGGER.with(email_logger) do
           MailService.run!
       end
    end
end

So now every calls of APP_LOGGER will not call Rails.logger anymore, but email_logger!

class MailService
    def self.run!
       APP_LOGGER.info "runing mail service"
       OtherClass.execute!
    end
end

class OtherClass
    def self.execute!
       APP_LOGGER.info "executing"
    end
end
