Module: Reality::Names

Defined in:
lib/reality/names.rb

Overview

This optional and higly experimental module allows treat ALL objects available with Reality, as Ruby constants (via redefined const_missing). This practice may seem questionable, so use it wisely!

You can just use this module on its own:

Reality::Names::Argentina
# => #<Reality::Entity(Argentina):country>

...Or just include it elsewhere:

include Reality::Names

Argentina
# => #<Reality::Entity(Argentina):country>

Multi-word entities can also be called:

BuenosAires
# => #<Reality::Entity(Buenos Aires):city>

Though, more complicated entity names (with punctuations) can't be accessed this way.
