Ruby - share logger instance among module/classes

Question

Working on a little Ruby script that goes out to the web and crawls various services. I\'ve got a module with several classes inside:

module Crawler
  class          


        

Answer 1

With the design you've laid out, it looks like the easiest solution is to give Crawler a module method that returns a module ivar.

module Crawler
  def self.logger
    @logger
  end
  def self.logger=(logger)
    @logger = logger
  end
end

Or you could use "class < magic" if you wanted:

module Crawler
  class <

It does the exact same thing.
