lazy_load_hooks.rb

module ActiveSupport
  # lazy_load_hooks allows Rails to lazily load a lot of components and thus
  # making the app boot faster. Because of this feature now there is no need to
  # require <tt>ActiveRecord::Base</tt> at boot time purely to apply
  # configuration. Instead a hook is registered that applies configuration once
  # <tt>ActiveRecord::Base</tt> is loaded. Here <tt>ActiveRecord::Base</tt> is
  # used as example but this feature can be applied elsewhere too.
  #
  # Here is an example where +on_load+ method is called to register a hook.
  #
  #   initializer 'active_record.initialize_timezone' do
  #     ActiveSupport.on_load(:active_record) do
  #       self.time_zone_aware_attributes = true
  #       self.default_timezone = :utc
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # When the entirety of +activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb+ has been
  # evaluated then +run_load_hooks+ is invoked. The very last line of
  # +activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb+ is:
  #
  #   ActiveSupport.run_load_hooks(:active_record, ActiveRecord::Base)
