AttrDefaultable

Easily add attributes with default values to your classes.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'attr_defaultable'

To optionally slip attr_defaultable into Module so it is available without extending:

gem 'attr_defaultable', require: 'extend_attr_defaultable'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install attr_defaultable

Usage

class Example
  extend AttrDefaultable
  attr_defaultable :foo, -> { 'bar' }
end

This will create a getter/setter pair for your variable foo. If the setter is not used before the getter the proc given will be called and it's result used to set the value of foo.

Very useful for creating dependency definitions with protected default values that are evaluated just in time.

Alternate Usage

By using the alternate gem declaration in your Gemfile or manually requiring extend_attr_defaultable early in your application, you can avoid the explicit extend in your class.

class Example
  attr_defaultable :foo, -> { 'bar' }
end
