Example: Empty Class

An empty class is class that doesn't have attributes and methods. It just has a class name.

For example, this picture below shows empty classes. They are Author and Book classes.

If you generate Ruby code with this extension, this extension will create two separated .rb files that contain Ruby code of those classes. The separated file will have name class_name.rb. File name refers to the class name. So, the generated code of empty classes above is shown as follows:

author.rb

class Author
  def initialize()
  end

  def to_s
    "Your string representation of the object will be written here."
  end
end

book.rb

class Book
  def initialize()
  end

  def to_s
    "Your string representation of the object will be written here."
  end
end

The generated code uses default configuration of the extension. By default, the generated code of empty classes generates constructor and a to string instance methods.
