class ActiveSupport::Deprecation::DeprecatedConstantProxy

Parent:
Module

DeprecatedConstantProxy transforms a constant into a deprecated one. It takes the names of an old (deprecated) constant and of a new constant (both in string form) and optionally a deprecator. The deprecator defaults to ActiveSupport::Deprecator if none is specified. The deprecated constant now returns the value of the new one.

PLANETS = %w(mercury venus earth mars jupiter saturn uranus neptune pluto)

# (In a later update, the original implementation of `PLANETS` has been removed.)

PLANETS_POST_2006 = %w(mercury venus earth mars jupiter saturn uranus neptune)
PLANETS = ActiveSupport::Deprecation::DeprecatedConstantProxy.new('PLANETS', 'PLANETS_POST_2006')

PLANETS.map { |planet| planet.capitalize }
# => DEPRECATION WARNING: PLANETS is deprecated! Use PLANETS_POST_2006 instead.
     (Backtrace information…)

def class
  target.class
end

Returns the class of the new constant.

PLANETS_POST_2006 = %w(mercury venus earth mars jupiter saturn uranus neptune)
PLANETS = ActiveSupport::Deprecation::DeprecatedConstantProxy.new('PLANETS', 'PLANETS_POST_2006')
PLANETS.class # => Array
inspect() Show source
# File activesupport/lib/active_support/deprecation/proxy_wrappers.rb, line 144
def inspect
  target.inspect
end

Don't give a deprecation warning on inspect since test/unit and error logs rely on it for diagnostics.
