Instance Method Details

#forward_to(target, *methods) ⇒ Object

Forward methods to member object. The arguments should be strings or symbols

Forward to takes the first argument and creates methods for the rest of the arguments that forward their call to the first argument. Example

include ForwardTo

class MyArray
  forward_to :@implementation, :empty?, :size, :[]

  def initialize()
    @implementation = []
  end
end

a = MyArray.new
a.size # -> 0
a.empty? # -> true
a[0] = 1
a[0] # -> 1

The target of #forward_to can be a method or a member (@variable) but has to be a symbol
