Instance Method Details

#couchrest_inheritable_accessor(*syms, &block) ⇒ Array[#to_s]

Defines class-level inheritable attribute accessor. Attributes are available to subclasses, each subclass has a copy of parent’s attribute.

Parameters:

  • *syms (Array[*#to_s, Hash{:instance_writer => Boolean}]) —

    Array of attributes to define inheritable accessor for.

  • syms (Hash) —

    a customizable set of options

Options Hash (*syms):

  • :instance_writer (Boolean) —

    if true, instance-level inheritable attribute writer is defined.

Returns:

  • (Array[#to_s]) —

    An Array of attributes turned into inheritable accessors.

end

#couchrest_inheritable_reader(*ivars) ⇒ Array[#to_s]

TODO:

Do we want to block instance_reader via :instance_reader => false

TODO:

It would be preferable that we do something with a Hash passed in (error out or do the same as other methods above) instead of silently moving on). In particular, this makes the return value of this function less useful.

Defines class-level inheritable attribute reader. Attributes are available to subclasses, each subclass has a copy of parent’s attribute.

Parameters:

  • *syms (Array[#to_s]) —

    Array of attributes to define inheritable reader for.

Returns:

  • (Array[#to_s]) —

    Array of attributes converted into inheritable_readers.

#couchrest_inheritable_writer(*ivars) ⇒ Array[#to_s]

TODO:

We need a style for class_eval <<-HEREDOC. I’d like to make it class_eval(<<-RUBY, __FILE__, __LINE__), but we should codify it somewhere.

Defines class-level inheritable attribute writer. Attributes are available to subclasses, each subclass has a copy of parent’s attribute.

Parameters:

  • *syms (Array[*#to_s, Hash{:instance_writer => Boolean}]) —

    Array of attributes to define inheritable writer for.

  • syms (Hash) —

    a customizable set of options

Returns:

  • (Array[#to_s]) —

    An Array of the attributes that were made into inheritable writers.
