Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

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

Rather than making laborious calls to ‘Colourlovers::Client.colors` you can create an instance of the Colourlovers::Client and call methods on it. Instance methods will be defined for class methods on their first utilization.

Examples:

cl = Colourlovers::Client.new
cl.colors    #=> [...]
