Methods

Public Instance methods

Defines class-level inheritable attribute accessor. Attributes are available to subclasses, each subclass has a copy of parent‘s attribute.

@param *syms<Array[*to_s, Hash{:instance_writer => Boolean}]> Array of attributes to

  define inheritable accessor for.

@option syms :instance_writer<Boolean> if true, instance-level inheritable attribute writer is defined. @return <Array[to_s]> An Array of attributes turned into inheritable accessors.

@api public

Defines class-level inheritable attribute reader. Attributes are available to subclasses, each subclass has a copy of parent‘s attribute.

@param *syms<Array[to_s]> Array of attributes to define inheritable reader for. @return <Array[to_s]> Array of attributes converted into inheritable_readers.

@api public

@todo Do we want to block instance_reader via :instance_reader => false @todo It would be preferable that we do something with a Hash passed in

  (error out or do the same as other methods above) instead of silently
  moving on). In particular, this makes the return value of this function
  less useful.

Defines class-level inheritable attribute writer. Attributes are available to subclasses, each subclass has a copy of parent‘s attribute.

@param *syms<Array[*to_s, Hash{:instance_writer => Boolean}]> Array of attributes to

  define inheritable writer for.

@option syms :instance_writer<Boolean> if true, instance-level inheritable attribute writer is defined. @return <Array[to_s]> An Array of the attributes that were made into inheritable writers.

@api public

@todo We need a style for class_eval <<-HEREDOC. I‘d like to make it

  class_eval(<<-RUBY, __FILE__, __LINE__), but we should codify it somewhere.
