end

Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method

#method_missing(sym, *args) ⇒ Object

Access the hash values as methods.

  end

  # enchant.

  for r in klass.relations
    r.enchant() unless r.polymorphic_marker?
  end

end

.resolve(klass, action = :resolve_polymorphic) ⇒ Object

General resolve method.

def resolve(klass, action = :resolve_polymorphic)
  for r in klass.relations
    r.send(action)
  end
end

.resolve_names(klass) ⇒ Object

Resolve the names of the relations. – For the target name it uses the demodulized class name. ++

    end

    r[:name] = r[target_name]
  end
end

.resolve_polymorphic_markers(klass) ⇒ Object

If the target class is just an Object mark this class (self) as a polymorphic parent class. This class acts as template to generate customized versions of this class.

For example:

class Comment

belongs_to :parent, Object # <= polymorphic
...

end

  for r in klass.relations
    if r.polymorphic_marker?
      r.owner_class.ann :self, :polymorphic => r.owner_class
    end
  end
end

.resolve_polymorphic_relations(klass) ⇒ Object

Resolve polymorphic relations. If the target class is polymorphic, create a specialized version of that class (the target) enclosed in the owner namespace.

For example:

class Article

has_many :comments
...

end

generates:

class Article::Comment < Comment end

end

.symbol_to_class(sym, owner_class) ⇒ Object Also known as: resolve_symbol

To avoid forward declarations, references to undefined (at the time of the creation of the relation) classes are stored as symbols. These symbols are resolved by this method.

First attempts to find a class in the form:

owner_class::class (ie, Article::Category)

then a class of the form:

class (ie, ::Category) – The lookup is handled automatically by the #constant Facets method. ++
