# Provides a +delegate+ class method to easily expose contained objects'
# public methods as your own.
#
# ==== Options
# * :to - Specifies the target object name as a symbol or string
# * :prefix - Prefixes the new method with the target name or a custom prefix
# * :allow_nil - If set to true, prevents a +Module::DelegationError+
# from being raised
# * :private - If set to true, changes method visibility to private
#
# The macro receives one or more method names (specified as symbols or
# strings) and the name of the target object via the :to option
# (also a symbol or string).
#
# Delegation is particularly useful with Active Record associations:
#
# class Greeter < ActiveRecord::Base
# def hello
# 'hello'
# end
#
# def goodbye
# 'goodbye'
# end
# end
#
# class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
# belongs_to :greeter
# delegate :hello, to: :greeter
# end
#
# Foo.new.hello # => "hello"
# Foo.new.goodbye # => NoMethodError: undefined method `goodbye' for #
#
# Multiple delegates to the same target are allowed:
#
# class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
# belongs_to :greeter
# delegate :hello, :goodbye, to: :greeter
# end
#
# Foo.new.goodbye # => "goodbye"
#
# Methods can be delegated to instance variables, class variables, or constants
# by providing them as a symbols:
#
# class Foo
# CONSTANT_ARRAY = [0,1,2,3]
# @@class_array = [4,5,6,7]
#
# def initialize
# @instance_array = [8,9,10,11]
# end
# delegate :sum, to: :CONSTANT_ARRAY
# delegate :min, to: :@@class_array
# delegate :max, to: :@instance_array
# end
#
# Foo.new.sum # => 6
# Foo.new.min # => 4
# Foo.new.max # => 11
#
# It's also possible to delegate a method to the class by using +:class+:
#
# class Foo
# def self.hello
# "world"
# end
#
# delegate :hello, to: :class
# end
#
# Foo.new.hello # => "world"
#
# Delegates can optionally be prefixed using the :prefix option. If the value
# is true, the delegate methods are prefixed with the name of the object being
# delegated to.
#
# Person = Struct.new(:name, :address)
#
# class Invoice < Struct.new(:client)
# delegate :name, :address, to: :client, prefix: true
# end
#
# john_doe = Person.new('John Doe', 'Vimmersvej 13')
# invoice = Invoice.new(john_doe)
# invoice.client_name # => "John Doe"
# invoice.client_address # => "Vimmersvej 13"
#
# It is also possible to supply a custom prefix.
#
# class Invoice < Struct.new(:client)
# delegate :name, :address, to: :client, prefix: :customer
# end
#
# invoice = Invoice.new(john_doe)
# invoice.customer_name # => 'John Doe'
# invoice.customer_address # => 'Vimmersvej 13'
#
# The delegated methods are public by default.
# Pass private: true to change that.
#
# class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_one :profile
# delegate :first_name, to: :profile
# delegate :date_of_birth, to: :profile, private: true
#
# def age
# Date.today.year - date_of_birth.year
# end
# end
#
# User.new.first_name # => "Tomas"
# User.new.date_of_birth # => NoMethodError: private method `date_of_birth' called for #
# User.new.age # => 2
#
# If the target is +nil+ and does not respond to the delegated method a
# +Module::DelegationError+ is raised. If you wish to instead return +nil+,
# use the :allow_nil option.
#
# class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_one :profile
# delegate :age, to: :profile
# end
#
# User.new.age
# # => Module::DelegationError: User#age delegated to profile.age, but profile is nil
#
# But if not having a profile yet is fine and should not be an error
# condition:
#
# class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# has_one :profile
# delegate :age, to: :profile, allow_nil: true
# end
#
# User.new.age # nil
#
# Note that if the target is not +nil+ then the call is attempted regardless of the
# :allow_nil option, and thus an exception is still raised if said object
# does not respond to the method:
#
# class Foo
# def initialize(bar)
# @bar = bar
# end
#
# delegate :name, to: :@bar, allow_nil: true
# end
#
# Foo.new("Bar").name # raises NoMethodError: undefined method `name'
#
# The target method must be public, otherwise it will raise +NoMethodError+.
