Instance Method Details

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

Create a new class.

Parameters:

  • name (String) —

    the name of the generated class

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    a hash of options

Options Hash (options):

  • :array (Array<Class>) —

    if specified, the generated class is appended to this array

  • :attributes (Hash<{String => Object}>) —

    a hash that is applied to the generated class by calling setter methods corresponding to this hash’s keys/value pairs. This is done before the given block is evaluated.

  • :block (Proc) —

    a block to evaluate in the context of the class (this block can be provided this way, or as a normal yield block).

  • :constant (String) — default: name with first letter capitalized —

    what to set the constant that references the generated class to.

  • :hash (Hash) —

    a hash of existing classes that this class is appended to (name => class). This hash must be specified if the ‘:overwrite` option is set to `true`.

  • :overwrite (Boolean) —

    whether an overwrite of an existing class should be allowed (requires also defining the ‘:hash` with existing classes as the test is based on the content of this hash).

  • :parent (Class) — default: self —

    the parent class of the generated class.

  • ('') (String) —

    :prefix the constant prefix to prepend to the constant name referencing the generated class.

Returns:

  • (Class) —

    the generated class

end

#genmodule(name, options = {}, &block) ⇒ Module

Creates a new module.

Parameters:

  • name (String) —

    the name of the generated module

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    hash with options

Options Hash (options):

  • :array (Array<Class>) —

    if specified, the generated class is appended to this array

  • :attributes (Hash<{String => Object}>) —

    a hash that is applied to the generated class by calling setter methods corresponding to this hash’s keys/value pairs. This is done before the given block is evaluated.

  • :block (Proc) —

    a block to evaluate in the context of the class (this block can be provided this way, or as a normal yield block).

  • :constant (String) — default: name with first letter capitalized —

    what to set the constant that references the generated class to.

  • :hash (Hash) —

    a hash of existing classes that this class is appended to (name => class). This hash must be specified if the ‘:overwrite` option is set to `true`.

  • :overwrite (Boolean) —

    whether an overwrite of an existing class should be allowed (requires also defining the ‘:hash` with existing classes as the test is based on the content of this hash). the capitalized name is appended and the result is set as the constant.

  • ('') (String) —

    :prefix the constant prefix to prepend to the constant name referencing the generated class.

Returns:

  • (Module) —

    the generated Module

end

#rmclass(name, options) ⇒ Boolean

Removes an existing class.

Parameters:

  • name (String) —

    the name of the class to remove

  • options (Hash) —

    options

Options Hash (options):

  • :hash (Hash) —

    a hash of existing classes from which the class to be removed is also removed

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    whether the class was removed or not
