Structure a Ruby gem using ActiveSupport.on_load for Rails integration to avoid hard dependencies, ensuring the gem loads cleanly without directly requiring Rails. This pattern includes entry-point files and version tracking.

Create a production-ready Ruby gem using a repeatable template with modular structure, including lib/gemname.rb, version files, and railtie stubs. This enforces minimal explicit dependencies and clean API design.

A macro DSL configures Ruby gems by providing a clean, explicit syntax for setting options. This ensures consistent configuration across projects and enforces a minimal dependency approach during gem creation.

Yes, you can refactor existing Ruby libraries by applying these patterns to align them with production-ready standards. This involves restructuring entry points, applying the macro DSL, and decoupling Rails dependencies.

Use ActiveSupport on_load instead of directly requiring Rails to prevent hard dependencies. This allows your gem to function independently of Rails while still integrating seamlessly when Rails is present.
