# MuchMixin

Enhanced mix-in API.

## Usage

```ruby
requre "much-mixin"

module MyMuchMixin
include MuchMixin

mixin_included do
# do some stuff ...
# - will be class eval'd in the scope of the receiver of `MyMuchMixin`
# - will only be executed once per receiver, no matter how many times
# `MyMuchMixin` is included in that receiver
end
end
```

Mix `MuchMixin` in on mix-ins. Define included hooks using `mixin_included` that will be class eval'd in the scope of the receiver.

This allows you to define multiple hooks separately and ensures each hook will only be executed once - even if your mix-in is mixed-in multiple times on the same receiver.

### `mixin_class_methods` / `mixin_instance_methods`

MuchMixin provides convenience methods for defining instance/class methods on receivers:

```ruby
requre "much-mixin"

module MyMuchMixin
include MuchMixin

mixin_class_methods do
# define some methods ...
# - these methods will become class methods on the receiver
end

mixin_instance_methods do
# define some methods ...
# - these methods will become instance methods on the receiver
end
end
```

### `after_mixin_included`

These hooks work just like the `mixin_included` hooks, except they are evaluated _after_ any mix-in class/instance methods have been evaluated. E.g. use this to call a class method that the mix-in defines.

```ruby
requre "much-mixin"

module MyMuchMixin
include MuchMixin

after_mixin_included do
configure_the_mixin
end

mixin_class_methods do
def configure_the_mixin
# ...
end
end
end
```

## Example

```ruby
requre "much-mixin"

module AnotherMixin
def another
"another"
end
end

module MyMuchMixin
include MuchMixin

mixin_included do
include AnotherMixin
end

mixin_class_methods do
def a_class_method
"a-class-method"
end
end

mixin_instance_methods do
def an_instance_method
"an-instance-method"
end
end
end

class MyClass
include MyMuchMixin
end

my_class = MyClass.new
my_class.another # => "another"
my_class.an_instance_method # => "an-instance-method"
MyClass.a_class_method # => "a-class-method"
```
