Hi, all, @codereading/readers.

I'm reading thor, and here's my report and questions.

Given a task like this.

class Example < Thor
  desc "show example", "show example by how it works"
   def show
      puts "this is how it works"
   end
end

Here's how thor works.

• when _class Example < Thor _, thor will register Example into namespaces. using:

  
  def inherited(klass)
  

  this method will be called, every time a subclass is inheriting Thor.

• when \ desc "", "", method_options**, thor will call class methods desc, method_options. using:

  
  def desc; ... ; end
  def method_options; ... ; end
  

  it will save desc, and options to instance variables, @desc, @method_options.

• when \ def show **. thor will save show into array tasks[]. using:

  
  def method_added(meth)
  

  it creates a task, and save current @desc, @method_options to the task, then add this new task into array tasks[]

• when you call "thor example:show", thor will look for namespaces and task names.

  
  def find_class_and_task_by_namespace()
  

  once it find 1 namespace aka class, and 1 match task name inside that namespace. it create a instance, and instance.send(task_name, *args).

thanks

hey @gtjgtjgtj - just in case remember to write @codereading/readers so everyone is notified of your issue. Should only need to do it once when you create one.

Also don't forget to format your messages, and more importantly the code you're pasting (see Github Flavored Markdown) :smiley:
