Rails mattr_accessor详解

mattr_accessor是Rails中特有的类宏。来自active_support。 利用了类变量@@var,类变量相当于类中的全局变量,可以被子类共享。

# File activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/module/attribute_accessors.rb
require "active_support/core_ext/array/extract_options"
require "active_support/core_ext/regexp"

# Extends the module object with class/module and instance accessors for
# class/module attributes, just like the native attr* accessors for instance
# attributes.
class Module
  # Defines a class attribute and creates a class and instance reader methods.
  # The underlying class variable is set to +nil+, if it is not previously
  # defined.
  #
  #   module HairColors
  #     mattr_reader :hair_colors

  # The attribute name must be a valid method name in Ruby.
