DEPRECATION WARNING: eee is deprecated and will be removed from MyGem next-release (use zzz instead). (called from irb_binding at (irb):18)

# => [:eee]
custom_deprecator.deprecate_methods(Fred, eee: :zzz)
custom_deprecator = ActiveSupport::Deprecation.new('next-release', 'MyGem')
Using a custom deprecator directly:

# => nil
DEPRECATION WARNING: ddd is deprecated and will be removed from MyGem next-release (use zzz instead). (called from irb_binding at (irb):15)
Fred.new.ddd

# => [:ddd]
ActiveSupport::Deprecation.deprecate_methods(Fred, ddd: :zzz, deprecator: custom_deprecator)
custom_deprecator = ActiveSupport::Deprecation.new('next-release', 'MyGem')
Passing in a custom deprecator:

# => nil
# DEPRECATION WARNING: ccc is deprecated and will be removed from Rails 5.1 (use Bar#ccc instead). (called from irb_binding at (irb):12)
Fred.new.ccc

# => nil
# DEPRECATION WARNING: bbb is deprecated and will be removed from Rails 5.1 (use zzz instead). (called from irb_binding at (irb):11)
Fred.new.bbb

# => nil
# DEPRECATION WARNING: aaa is deprecated and will be removed from Rails 5.1. (called from irb_binding at (irb):10)
Fred.new.aaa

# => Fred
ActiveSupport::Deprecation.deprecate_methods(Fred, :aaa, bbb: :zzz, ccc: 'use Bar#ccc instead')
Using the default deprecator:
