Class Attribute Details

.autoloads ⇒ Object (readonly)

Maps absolute paths to the loaders responsible for them.

This information is used by our decorated ‘Kernel#require` to be able to invoke callbacks and autovivify modules.

.gem_loaders_by_root_file ⇒ Object (readonly)

Registers gem loaders to let ‘for_gem` be idempotent in case of reload.

.inceptions ⇒ Object (readonly)

This hash table addresses an edge case in which an autoload is ignored.

For example, let’s suppose we want to autoload in a gem like this:

# lib/my_gem.rb
loader = Zeitwerk::Loader.new
loader.push_dir(__dir__)
loader.setup

module MyGem
end

if you require “my_gem”, as Bundler would do, this happens while setting up autoloads:

1. Object.autoload?(:MyGem) returns `nil` because the autoload for
   the constant is issued by Zeitwerk while the same file is being
   required.
2. The constant `MyGem` is undefined while setup runs.

Therefore, a directory ‘lib/my_gem` would autovivify a module according to the existing information. But that would be wrong.

To overcome this fundamental limitation, we keep track of the constant paths that are in this situation —in the example above, “MyGem”— and take this collection into account for the autovivification logic.

Note that you cannot generally address this by moving the setup code below the constant definition, because we want libraries to be able to use managed constants in the module body:

module MyGem
  include MyConcern
end

.loaders ⇒ Object (readonly)

Keeps track of all loaders. Useful to broadcast messages and to prevent them from being garbage collected.

def loader_for(path)
  autoloads[path]
end

.loader_for_gem(root_file, namespace:, warn_on_extra_files:) ⇒ Object

This method returns always a loader, the same instance for the same root file. That is how Zeitwerk::Loader.for_gem is idempotent.
