Subject: [ANN] ClassLoader 3.0.4

ClassLoader automatically finds, loads and reloads classes.

Suppose there's following directory structure:

    /lib
      /some_class.rb        # class SomeClass; end
      /some_namespace
        /another_class.rb   # class SomeNamespace:AnotherClass; end
      /some_namespace.rb    # module SomeNamespace; end

All these classes will be loaded automatically:

    require 'class_loader'

    SomeClass
    SomeNamespace::AnotherClass

No need for `require`, `autoload` and code like this:

    require 'some_class'
    require 'some_namespace'
    require 'some_namespace/another_class'

    autoload :SomeClass,      'some_class'
    autoload :SomeNamespace,  'some_namespace'
    module SomeNamespace
      autoload :AnotherClass, 'some_namespace/another_class'
    end

You can also tell it to watch and reload changes:

    ClassLoader.watch 'my_app/lib'

Or preload classes eagerly:

    ClassLoader.preload 'my_app/lib'

It's also very small, sources are about 150 lines, (third of it are
comments).

Installation

  $ gem install class_loader
