Example of using method_missing in a Class

class_method_missing.rb

require 'rspec'

class Cow
  class << self
    def method_missing(message)
      new(message.to_s)
    end
  end
  
  attr_reader :name
  
  def initialize(name)
    @name = name
  end
end

describe Cow do
  it "has name" do
    Cow.new("daisy").name.should eq "daisy"
  end

  it "lets you create Cows from the class" do
    Cow.daisy.name.should eq "daisy"
  end
end

Dude. class << self is so 1.8.6.

class Cow
  def self.method_missing(message)
    new(message.to_s)
  end
end

Haha, I didn't realise fashion had changed!
