How to create dinamicly method

Ruby
1

What I am trying to accomplist is:

class MyClass
def addVar(var, val)
instance_variable_set("@#{var}", val)
define_method("#{var}") { || instance_variable_get("#{var}") }
end
end

c = MyClass.new
c.addVar(‘aa’,10) # here pops the error
c.aa # should return 10

But I get this error:
NoMethodError: undefined method define_method' for #<MyClass:0x2d01cc0 @aa=10> from (irb):4:inaddVar’
from (irb):8

I know this should work because it’s used all over rails.

Advice me please

define_method won’t work in instance method, you have to use class
method o
just use eval(“def #{var}; here return value; end”);

Yep: Each of these two variants work:
eval “def #{var};instance_variable_get(’@#{var}’);end”
eval(“def #{var}; @#{var}; end”)

I was trying this too, but forgot to add @ to variable name.

Thanks

}
}

end

end

c = MyClass.new
c.addVar(‘aa’,10) # here pops the error
c.aa # should return 10
