const_missing_autoload

⚙️ const_missing for on‑demand autoloading​

Leverage const_missing to intercept constant resolution failures and load code dynamically, reducing startup times and memory footprint. Be careful to avoid infinite recursion by removing your hook when delegating to super.

module AutoLoader
  def self.const_missing(const)
    file = const.to_s.downcase
    require_relative file
    const_get(const)
  rescue LoadError
    super
  end
end
