Method: Aspire::Object::ResourcePropertyMixin#method_missing

Defined in:
lib/aspire/object/resource.rb

#method_missing(method_name, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Handles citation_<property>() accessor calls by proxying to the parent resource if no instance value is set. The <property> accessor for this instance is called first, and if this returns nil and there is a parent resource (is_part_of), the property accessor of the parent is called. This continues up through the ancestor resources until a value is found. Positional and keyword arguments are passed to the property accessor

Parameters:

  • method_name (Symbol) —

    the method name
