Instance Method Details

#delegate(method_name, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

A method to easily delegate methods to an object, stored in an instance variable or returned by a method call.

It’s used like this:

class A
  delegate :method_here, :@obj, :method_there
end

or:

class A
  delegate :method_here, :method_call, :method_there
end

other_method_name defaults to method_name, if it wasn’t given. def delegate(method_name, to: UNSET, as: method_name)

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)
