Instance Method Details

#[](name) ⇒ Class

Retrieves the adapter class that the name corresponds to. The name is case- and punctuation-insensitive, meaning “SomeModule”, “some_module”, and “somemodule” are all treated as the same.

Note that classes defined as an #adapter for this module will be autoloaded upon successful reference, so there’s no need to ensure that the file defining the class is already loaded when calling this method.

Parameters:

  • name (String) —

    the name of the module to access

Returns:

  • (Class) —

    the class

Raises:

  • (NameError) —

    if the class doesn’t exist.
