In this lesson, we are going to learn about metaprogramming in Ruby. Starting off with a practical example.
Now that you have gone through the introduction to metaprogramming guide we have a basic idea about metaprogramming, let's see how to integrate it into a custom class in Ruby.
In the previous lesson, we went through a basic example of metaprogramming just to get an idea of what it is and how we can use it. In this lesson, let's see a more practical way to use it.
So far, we have seen a basic overview of metaprogramming, how we can use it in a custom class and how to use it on existing Ruby classes, such as the String class. In this lesson, we are going to see how it can be used in more advanced ways, typically like how other Ruby programmers use it.
This will be an interesting lesson, we are going to learn how to create code that will write code inside a Ruby program by leveraging the metaprogramming construct of method_missing.
In this guide we're going to learn how to implement the necessary code for getting the Ruby respond_to? method to pass for any dynamically created methods in a program that contains metaprogramming mechanisms.
In this guide let's learn about another metaprogramming mechanism called define _method that will allow you to dynamically create methods at runtime in a Ruby program.
