Method: FloorManager::Employee::DSL#method_missing

Defined in:
lib/floor_manager/employee/dsl.rb

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

This method missing handles several magic incantations:

a) Setting an attribute to a value that is given:

name 'john'

b) Setting an attribute to a value that is returned from a block:

  name { |obj, floor| rand()>0.5 ? 'John' : 'Peter' }

Note that the first argument is the +obj+ under construction (your 
model instance) and the second argument is the floor the model is 
being constructed in. This is useful for retrieving other objects that
live in the same floor.

c) Access to the association magic:

  spouse.set :linda
  friends.append :frank

Please see +AssocProxy+ for further explanation on this.
