What is method_missing ?

When we send a message to an object, it first method it finds on its method lookup path with the same name as message. If it fails to find any method like this then it will raise NoMethodError exception.

method_missing is a known tool in the Ruby meta-programming toolbox. It’s a callback method that gets called when an object tries to call a method that is missing. An example of this is dynamic finders in ActiveRecord. Let's say Member has an email attribute, you can do Member.find_by_email('balram@codebrahma.com') and the interesting fact is that User and ActiveRecord::Base have not defined it.


example:

class MyClass
