A deprecator is typically an instance of ActiveSupport::Deprecation, but you can also pass any object that responds to deprecation_warning(deprecated_method_name, message, caller_backtrace) where you can implement your custom warning behavior.

class MyLib::Deprecator
  def deprecation_warning(deprecated_method_name, message, caller_backtrace = nil)
    message = "#{deprecated_method_name} is deprecated and will be removed from MyLibrary | #{message}"
    Kernel.warn message
  end
end

Parameters

method_names rest
deprecator keyreq
options keyrest
