ruby - How do i require and include a module in the initialize method -

im trying dynamically require , include modules inside initialize method.

# file: object.rb  class object    attr_accessor :array    def initialize array     @array = array     @array.each |f|       require_relative "#{f}"       include f.capitalize # method name same filename       puts @variable # property included method     end   end end  object = object.new ['a','b','c'] 

with these module files

# file: a.rb  module   @variable = 'string a' end 

and on b , c

i keep getting error :

`block in initialize': undefined method `include' 

what doing wrong here , there better way achieve i'm trying do?

the reason can't call include in initialize include method that's defined on classes , modules, inside of instance method initialize implicit receiver object of class, not class itself.

since need methods available on newly created object, can use extend instead of include. extend per-object version of include in adds methods of given module singleton methods object rather adding them instance methods module or class.
