Overview

This is an experimental implementation of allowing contextual use of behaviors.

This relies on versions of Ruby supporting refinements.

You must include the following module and use it for refinements, and you must set the current context for the thread:

class SomeContext
  using Casting::Context
  extend Casting::Context

  initialize(:some, :thing)
  # doing that defines your constructor but would cause it too look for
  # modules named Some and Thing
  module Some; end
  module Thing; end

  # if you want different module names (why would you?) then you'd need
  # to do all this:
  def initialize(some, thing)
    assign [some, SomeRole], [thing, OtherRole]
    Thread.current[:context] = self
  end
  attr_reader :some, :thing, :assignments

  module SomeRole; end
  module OtherRole; end
end
