In essence, extend_object
is the method that does the extending. You can override it to for example create a typecheck before extend happens:
module Foo
def self.extend_object(obj)
raise(TypeError, "No strings!") if obj.is_a?(String)
super # need to call super or object
# won't be extended
end
def self.extended(obj)
puts "#{obj.inspect} was extended with #{self}"
end
end
1.extend(Foo)
"1".extend(Foo) # raises TypeError: No strings!
why do we need super keyword /

Because otherwise the object won't be extended.

Nov 14 '18 at 12:40
so its notbefore_extended
- it's the method doing extension. If you override it without callingsuper
you'll be unable to extend.

extend_object
is a private API method used by extend
and it adds module constants and methods
extend_object(p1) private
Extends the specified object by adding this module’s constants and methods (which are added as singleton methods). This is the callback method used by
Object#extend
.
https://apidock.com/ruby/Module/extend_object
extended
is just a callback that can be used by a developer to run specific code when a module is being extended.
https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.2.0/Module.html#method-i-extended
extend_object and extended both are hooks and are called automatically whenever i extend module in my class , so what is the need of extend_object ?

As the docs says - it extends an object using the module - it does the job. You probably don't have to touch it.
