Attic - v0.5
A place to hide private instance variables in your Ruby objects.
Example
require 'attic'
class String
extend Attic
attic :timestamp
end
a = "anything"
a. = "1980-11-18"
a.instance_variables # => []
a. # 1980-11-18
a.attic_variables # => [:timestamp]
a.attic_variable_set :tags, [:a, :b, :c]
a.attic_variable_get :tags # [:a, :b, :c]
a.attic_variables # => [:timestamp, :tags]
Some objects have no metaclasses
Symbol and Fixnum objects do not have metaclasses so instance variables are hidden in the object itself.
Installation
Via Rubygems, one of:
$ gem install attic
or via download:
