Class: Interphase::Helpers::Observable

Inherits:
BasicObject
Defined in:
lib/interphase/helpers/observable.rb

Overview

An object wrapper which can invoke a method whenever the wrapped object changes. Unlike most classes, this class inherits from ‘BasicObject`, which has absolutely no methods whatsoever. This means that everything, even inspect and class, fall into Observable#method_missing.

def initialize(object, &block)

  @object = object

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

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