Module: Spy::API

Included in:
Spy
Defined in:
lib/spy/api.rb

Overview

The core module that users will interface. ‘Spy::API` is implemented in a module via `::extend`:

MySpy.exted Spy::API
spy = MySpy.on(Object, :name)

By default ‘Spy` implements `Spy::API`

‘Spy::API` is primarily responsible for maps user arguments into a format that `Spy::Core` can understand

See ‘Spy::Instance` for the API for interacting with individual spies
