Dynamic Method Handling

This class handles dynamic methods through the method_missing method in the class ActiveScaffold::Configurable

#_inheritable=(value) ⇒ Object

The motivation for this collection is that this Columns data structure fills two roles: it provides the master list of all known columns, and it provides an inheritable list for all other actions (e.g. Create and Update and List). Well we actually want to know about as many columns as possible, so we don’t want people actually removing columns from @set. But at the same time, we want to be able to manage which columns get inherited. Tada!

This collection is referenced by other parts of ActiveScaffold and by methods within this DataStructure. IT IS NOT MEANT FOR PUBLIC USE (but if you know what you’re doing, go ahead)

#add(*args) ⇒ Object Also known as: <<

the way to add columns to the set. this is primarily useful for virtual columns. note that this also makes columns inheritable
