Latent Object Detector

Based on an original idea from @bantik, this gem looks at the methods defined on an object and looks for repeated words contained in the method names, as this can sometimes illuminate latent objects, concepts, or relationships that don't currently exist in the code (but should.)

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'latent_object_detector'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install latent_object_detector

Usage

d = LatentObjectDetector::Detector.for(User)
d.potential_objects
=> ["password", "token", "remember"]
d.suspicious_methods
=> [:change_password, :generate_token, :remember_token?, :remember_me, :uses_deprecated_password?, :password_matches?, :crypt_password, :password_required?, :password_handler]

Then go refactor those latent objects!
