Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(method, args = nil) ⇒ Object

request data from muddy.it if we haven’t done so before and we don’t have the attribute requested (acts as getter + setter)

Params

  • method (Required)

    the object method to populate, from attributes or remotely

  • args (Optional)

    the value to set the method to

#attributes ⇒ Object

superclass for data objects to inherit

allows us to change the api with little code change via the magic of method missing :)
