Module: Classnamer

Defined in:
lib/classnamer.rb

Overview

This module randomly generates class names, such as “PrioritizedUploadWrapper”. It does this by concatenating several parts (“Prioritized”, “Upload”, and “Wrapper”, in this case), which are strings randomly selected from arrays of candidates (“Prioritized”, “Upload”, and “Wrapper” were each selected from a different array). An array of such arrays is called a part candidate matrix.

Class Method Details

.generate(matrix = PART_CANDIDATE_MATRIX, prng = PRNG) ⇒ Object

Randomly generates a class name and returns it. This method takes two arguments, both optional: a part candidate matrix (matrix) and an index generator (prng). If matrix is not specified, the module’s default part candidate matrix (PART_CANDIDATE_MATRIX) is used. If prng is not specified, Kernel::rand is used. matrix must act like an array of arrays of strings. prng will be sent call messages with one integer argument (an array length) and must act like Kernel::rand with an integer argument.
