⚙️ Dynamic Method Generation via define_method

Generate methods at runtime based on metadata, reducing boilerplate and enabling flexible APIs. By iterating over a list of attributes or actions, you can produce customized methods without repetitive code.

class APIClient
%i[get post put delete].each do |http_verb|
define_method(http_verb) do |path, params={}|
request(http_verb, path, params)
end
end

private
def request(verb, path, params)
# perform HTTP call
end
end

This approach adapts easily when verbs or actions change, keeping your class DRY.
