试图了解class_eval的用法

我正在使用rails-settings gem,我正在尝试了解如何向ActiveRecord类添加函数(我正在为卡片游戏构建自己的库),我注意到这个gem使用了一个元编程技术将函数添加到ActiveRecord :: Base类(我远离ruby中的Meta-programming master,但我正在努力学习它)

module RailsSettings
  class Railtie < Rails::Railtie

    initializer 'rails_settings.initialize', :after => :after_initialize do
      Railtie.extend_active_record
    end

  end

  class Railtie
    def self.extend_active_record
      ActiveRecord::Base.class_eval do
        def self.has_settings
          class_eval do
            def settings
              RailsSettings::ScopedSettings.for_thing(self)
            end

            scope :with_settings, :joins => "JOIN settings ON (settings.thing_id = #{self.table_name}.#{self.primary_key} AND
                                                               settings.thing_type = '#{self.base_class.name}')",
                                  :select => "DISTINCT #{self.table_name}.*"

            scope :with_settings_for, lambda { |var| { :joins => "JOIN settings ON (settings.thing_id = #{self.table_name}.#{self.primary_key} AND
                                                                                    settings.thing_type = '#{self.base_class.name}') AND
                                                                                    settings.var = '#{var}'" } }

            scope :without_settings, :joins => "LEFT JOIN settings ON (settings.thing_id = #{self.table_name}.#{self.primary_key} AND
                                                                       settings.thing_type = '#{self.base_class.name}')",
                                     :conditions => 'settings.id IS NULL'

            scope :without_settings_for, lambda { |var| { :joins => "LEFT JOIN settings ON (settings.thing_id = #{self.table_name}.#{self.primary_key} AND
                                                                                            settings.thing_type = '#{self.base_class.name}') AND
                                                                                            settings.var = '#{var}'",
                                                          :conditions => 'settings.id IS NULL' } }
          end
        end
      end
    end

  end
end

我不明白为什么他在ActiveRecord :: Base上使用class_eval,如果他只是打开ActiveRecord :: Base类并定义函数,这不是更容易吗?特别是块中没有动态(动态的含义是当你对包含变量的字符串执行class_eval或instance_eval时)

类似的东西:

module ActiveRecord
  class Base
    def self.has_settings
      class_eval do
        def settings
          RailsSettings::ScopedSettings.for_thing(self)
        end

        scope :with_settings, :joins => "JOIN settings ON (settings.thing_id = #{self.table_name}.#{self.primary_key} AND
                                                           settings.thing_type = '#{self.base_class.name}')",
                              :select => "DISTINCT #{self.table_name}.*"

        scope :with_settings_for, lambda { |var| { :joins => "JOIN settings ON (settings.thing_id = #{self.table_name}.#{self.primary_key} AND
                                                                                settings.thing_type = '#{self.base_class.name}') AND
                                                                                settings.var = '#{var}'" } }

        scope :without_settings, :joins => "LEFT JOIN settings ON (settings.thing_id = #{self.table_name}.#{self.primary_key} AND
                                                                   settings.thing_type = '#{self.base_class.name}')",
                                 :conditions => 'settings.id IS NULL'

        scope :without_settings_for, lambda { |var| { :joins => "LEFT JOIN settings ON (settings.thing_id = #{self.table_name}.#{self.primary_key} AND
                                                                                        settings.thing_type = '#{self.base_class.name}') AND
                                                                                        settings.var = '#{var}'",
                                                      :conditions => 'settings.id IS NULL' } }
      end
    end
  end
end

我理解第二个class_eval(在def设置之前)是在'has_settings'对的每个类上动态定义函数吗?同样的问题,我认为他可以使用“def self.settings”而不是“class_eval .... def settings”,不是吗?

rails-settings 代码的作用被认为是一种很好的做法:当明确要求时,它只会与第三方模块混淆。这样,您还可以将名称空间保持整齐分离,并且所有代码都保留在模块中。
