README
## transfigure
An experimental Ruby native extension that allows changing an object's class at runtime.
## Installation
`gem install transfigure`
## Usage
```ruby
require 'transfigure'
```
The transfigure gem adds the `transfigure_into!` method onto Ruby's `Object` class. Pass it another class to switch out the object's current class to another one:
```ruby
class Foo
end
class Bar
end
obj = Foo.new
obj.is_a?(Foo) # => true
obj.transfigure_into!(Bar)
obj.is_a?(Foo) # => false
obj.is_a?(Bar) # => true
```
## Requirements
The code has only been tested on MRI (cruby) 3.1 and will definitely not work on other Ruby engines like JRuby or TruffleRuby.
## Running Tests
`bundle exec rspec`
