Attr Macros

Attr Macros

Attr Macros let you define Getter and/or Setter for a specified variable.

There are three different types of attr macros:

Class YourClass

# it creates a getter method for each of the vars specified
attr_reader :var1, :var2, :var3

# now it create a setter method
attr_writer :var1, :var2, :var3

# now it  creates both getter and setter
attr_accessor :var4

end

If you need to assign a initial value to your variable you can use attr_with_value
