Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

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

The second half of the instance_eval delegation trick mentioned at

http://www.dan-manges.com/blog/ruby-dsls-instance-eval-with-delegation

def method_missing(method, *args, &block)

end

Class Method Details

.build(&block) ⇒ Object

Convenience method for creating a new builder and evaluating a block

end

Instance Method Details

#build(super_class = ::Model, &block) ⇒ Object

Evaluate a block and return a new Engineering::Builder::Model subclass

Use the trick found here http://www.dan-manges.com/blog/ruby-dsls-instance-eval-with-delegation
to allow the DSL block to call methods in the enclosing *lexical* scope
