Creating a namespace is as easy as invoking the @#namespace@ method of the registry (or of another namespace): -<pre> - registry.namespace :stuff -</pre> +{{{lang=ruby,caption=Creating a namespace +registry.namespace :stuff +}}} This would create a new namespace in the registry called @:stuff@. The application may then proceed to register services inside that namespace: -<pre> - registry.stuff.register( :foo ) { Bar.new } - ... - svc = registry.stuff.foo -</pre> +{{{lang=ruby,number=true,caption=Registering services in a namespace +registry.stuff.register( :foo ) { Bar.new } +... +svc = registry.stuff.foo +}}} Here's a tip: _namespaces are just a special kind of service._ This means that you can access namespaces in the same ways that you can access services: -<pre> - svc = registry[:stuff][:foo] -</pre> +{{{lang=ruby,caption=Accessing a namespace +svc = registry[:stuff][:foo] +}}} h3. Convenience Methods Because it is often the case that you will be creating a namespace and then immediately registering services on it, you can pass a block to @namespace@. The block will receive a reference to the new namespace: -<pre> - registry.namespace :stuff do |spc| - spc.register( :foo ) { Bar.new } - ... - end -</pre> +{{{lang=ruby,number=true,caption=More registering services in a namespace +registry.namespace :stuff do |spc| + spc.register( :foo ) { Bar.new } + ... +end +}}} If you prefer the @define@ approach to registering services, you may like @namespace_define@, which creates the new namespace and immediately calls @define@ on it: -<pre> - registry.namespace_define :stuff do |b| - b.foo { Bar.new } - ... - end -</pre> +{{{lang=ruby,number=true,caption=Creating namespaces with #namespace_define +registry.namespace_define :stuff do |b| + b.foo { Bar.new } + ... +end +}}} And, to mirror the @namespace_define@ method, there is also a @namespace_define!@ method. This method creates a new namespace and then does a @define!@ call on that namespace. -<pre> - registry.namespace_define! :stuff do - foo { Bar.new } - ... - end -</pre> +{{{lang=ruby,number=true,caption=Creating namespaces with #namespace_define! +registry.namespace_define! :stuff do + foo { Bar.new } + ... +end +}}} The above code would create a new namespace called @:stuff@ in the registry, and would then proceed to register a service called @:foo@ in the new namespace.
