base
People love Base classes! They have tons of methods waiting to be used. Just check out `ActiveRecord::Base`'s method list:
>> ActiveRecord::Base.methods.length
=> 530
But why stop there? Why not have even more methods? In fact, let's put *every method* on one Base class!
So I did. It's called Base. Just subclass it and feel free to directly reference any class method, instance method, or constant defined on any module or class in the system. Like this:
class Cantaloupe < Base
def embiggen
encode64(deflate(SEPARATOR))
end
end
>> Cantaloupe.new.embiggen
=> "eJzTBwAAMAAw\n"
See that `embiggen` method calling `encode64` and `deflate` methods? Those come from the `Base64` and `Zlib` modules. And the `SEPARATOR` constant is defined in `File`. Base don't care where it's defined! Base calls what it wants!
By the way, remember those 530 ActiveRecord methods? That's amateur stuff. Check out Base loaded inside a Rails app:
>> Base.new.methods.count
=> 6947
It's so badass that it takes *five seconds* just to answer that question!
Base is just craaazzy! It's the most fearless class in all of Ruby. Base doesn't afraid of anything!
