# Method *not* missing

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Jell/method_not_missing.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/Jell/method_not_missing) [![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/method_not_missing.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/rb/method_not_missing)[![Code Climate](https://codeclimate.com/github/Jell/method_not_missing.png)](https://codeclimate.com/github/Jell/method_not_missing)

Implements missing methods on the fly by googling their implementation

on rubydoc.info. Because Ruby.

Instance variables are added when needed and missing classes are also

declared at runtime.

There's some backtracking if the implementation found raises an error

(like stack overflows) or if a nested method lookup fails.

# Installation

```sh

gem install method_not_missing

```

## External dependencies

- PhantomJS ( `brew install phantomjs` on OSX )

# Example

```ruby

require "method_not_missing"

object = MethodNotMissing::OmnipotentObject.new

object.update([3])

## Googling...

#=> [3]

object.update([4])

#=> [3, 4]

object.inspect

#=> #

```

# Future work:

- Type Safety: since we get the arity of the requested function, we

  could filter out the ones with the wrong number of argument. This is

  implemented with exception-driven backtracking on ArgumentErrors

  right now.

- Enterprise
