Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(method_name, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Return an attribute or raise a NoMethodError if it doesn’t exist.

Parameters:

  • method_name (Symbol) —

    the name of the attribute

Returns:

  • (Object) —

    the result of the attribute check

  return get_attribute(depredicate(method_name)) if @attributes.key?(depredicate(method_name))
  super
end
