Module: Lazy

Included in:
Grit::Commit, Grit::Tag, Grit::Tree
Defined in:
lib/grit/lazy.rb

Overview

Allows attributes to be declared as lazy, meaning that they won’t be computed until they are asked for.

Works by delegating each lazy_reader to a cached lazy_source method.

class Person

lazy_reader :eyes

def lazy_source
  OpenStruct.new(:eyes => 2)
end

end

>> Person.new.eyes

> 2
