accessor

The accessor gem is for giving you easy syntax sugar for getters, setters, and accessors.

Sure, you can use attr_accessor, attr_reader, and attr_writer but the attr gang can't do this!:

• Chain together setters: person.name("Kurtis").email("me+accessor@kurtisrainboltgreene.name").age(24)
• Define new accessors, getters, and setters on instances: person.accessor!(:secret_token)
• Do both: person.accessor(:api_token, :dashboard_token).api_token(generated_token).dashboard_token

Here's an example:

require 'accessor'

class Person
  accessor :name, :email
  writer :password
  reader :encrypted_password

  def encrypt_password!
    @encrypted_password = Base64::strict_encode64(@password)
  end

end

contact = Person.new
contact.name "Kurtis Rainbolt-Greene"
contact.email "me+accessor@kurtisrainboltgreene.name"
contact.email

contact.accessor!(:age).age 24

Requirements

1. Ruby MRI 1.9+
2. RubyGems 1.6+

Like any other gem, all you have to do is either use:

$ gem install accessor

Or add it to your Gemfile:

source :rubygems

gem "accessor", "1.0.2"

That's all you have to do.

Testing

To make sure you did everything right do the following:

ruby -e "p require 'accessor'"
true
