Instance Method Details

#always_has(*attribute_names) ⇒ Object

This macro explicitly creates getter, setter and query methods on a class, overriding any exisiting methods with the same names. This can be used when attribute names clash with method names; an example would be Rails REST services which frequently make use an attribute named id which clashes with Object#id. Also, this can be used as a performance optimisation if the incoming attributes are known beforehand.
