See LiterateRandomizer::Randomizer#initializer for options.

def create(options={})
  Randomizer.new options
end

.global(options = nil) ⇒ Object

Access or initialize the global randomizer instance.

The first time this is called, the global instance is created and initialized. Subsequent calls with no parameters just return the global instance. If LiterateRandomize.global is called again with options, a new global instance is created.

See LiterateRandomizer::Randomizer#initializer for options.

def global(options=nil)
  return @global_instance if @global_instance && !options
  @global_instance ||= Randomizer.new(options||{})
end

.method_missing(method, *arguments, &block) ⇒ Object

Forwards method invocations to the global Randomizer instance. Unless you need more than one instance of Randomizer, this is the easiest way to use LiterateRandomizer.

Examples:

  • LiterateRandomizer.word

  • LiterateRandomizer.sentence

  • LiterateRandomizer.paragraph

  • LiterateRandomizer.paragraphs

def method_missing(method, *arguments, &block)
  global.send(method, *arguments, &block)
end

.respond_to?(method) ⇒ Boolean

correctly mirrors method_missing

Returns:

  • (Boolean)
