Instance Method Details

#genclass(name, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Create a new subclass. Valid options are:

  • :array: An array of existing classes. If specified, the new class is added to this array.

  • :attributes: A hash of attributes to set before the block is evaluated.

  • :block: The block to evaluate in the context of the class. You can also just pass the block normally, but it will still be evaluated with class_eval.

  • :constant: What to set the constant as. Defaults to the capitalized name.

  • :hash: A hash of existing classes. If specified, the new class is added to this hash, and it is also used for overwrite tests.

  • :overwrite: Whether to overwrite an existing class.

  • :parent: The parent class for the generated class. Defaults to self.

  • :prefix: The constant prefix. Default to nothing; if specified, the capitalized name is appended and the result is set as the constant.

Create a new module. Valid options are:
