# Base

* http://github.com/garybernhardt/base

## DESCRIPTION:

People love Base classes! They have tons of methods waiting to be used. Just check out `ActiveRecord::Base`'s method list:

```irb

>> ActiveRecord::Base.methods.length

=> 572

```

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:

```ruby

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 572 ActiveRecord methods? That's amateur stuff. Check out Base loaded inside a Rails app:

```irb

>> Base.new.methods.count

=> 5794

```

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!
