Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

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

If a method was called on the object for which no implementations is provided, then execute this method and try to return the attribute value whose attribute key matches the method call’s name.

method

Method call for which no implementation could be found.

args

Arguments that were provided to the method call.

block

If not nil, code block that follows the method call.
