const_missing_autoload

🌐 Autoload on the Fly with const_missing​

Override const_missing in your module to auto-require files, enabling on-demand loading without autoload.

module API
  def self.const_missing(const)
    require_relative "api/#{const.to_s.downcase}"
    const_get(const)
  rescue LoadError
    super
  end
end

# When you reference API::UsersClient, it loads 'api/usersclient.rb'
client = API::UsersClient.new

Be careful: this affects constant lookup and can mask name errors.
