How to judge whether a Constant has been defined within a module namespace, not a global one?
I have two Const with the same name; One is a global const, and the other is defined under the namespace A开发者_StackOverflow中文版dmin. But I need to distinguish them;The global one has already defined, and the scoped one need to auto defined if it has not been defined yet:
A = 'A Global Const'
module Admin
A = 'A Const within the Admin namespace' if const_defined? 'A' # always true and the Admin::A can never be defined!
end
puts A # => 'A Global Const'
puts Admin::A # => NameError: uninitialized constant Admin::A
# the Admin::A will never be defined.
But if the Global A is defined, the "const_defind?" part will always return ture!
I even have tried:... if defined? A
... if self.const_defined? 'A'
... if Object.const_get('Admin').const_defined? 'A'
Always true!
I need to distinguish them because I need to use the A in A and Admin::A two forms; Like the situation PostsController for public use, and Admin::PostsController for admin use; Help!You should try scoping both of them to test just the one you want
module Adm
A = "FOO"
end
defined?(A) # -> nil
defined?(Adm::A) # "constant"
defined?(::A) # -> nil
A = "BAR"
defined?(::A) # -> "constant
::A # => "BAR"
Adm::A # => "FOO"
Indeed, const_defined?
and const_get
go through the hierarchy, which for modules include (artificially) the Object
class. You can use Module#constants
to avoid this, though:
module Admin
A = 'A Const with in the Admin namespace' unless constants.include?(:A)
end
Note: In Ruby 1.8, you check against "A"
, not :A
Using its #class
or #to_s
or #inspect
may help you know if your defined object is actually global or not.
