Description¶ ↑
Tiny Singleton is a very simple implementation of the Singleton Design Pattern. Compared to the Singleton module in the stdlib, one does not need to class 'klass.instance' to get access to the singleton object, one can call 'klass.new' as usual. It is thus easier to add the Singleton Pattern to an existing class without changing the way the code calls it.
Features¶ ↑
Examples¶ ↑
require 'tiny_singleton' class Foo prepend TinySingleton def initialize(foo) @foo=foo end end foo=Foo.new("foo") bar=Foo.new("bar") foo.object_id == bar.object_id #=> true
Requirements¶ ↑
It needs at least ruby 2.0
since it relies on Module#prepend
Install¶ ↑
$ gem install tiny_singleton
