基本上，它们伪造了Ruby所不具备的公开可访问的数据属性。

定义此模块的命名属性，其中名称为symbol。Id2name，创建实例变量(@name)和读取它的相应访问方法。还创建一个名为name=的方法来设置属性。

module Mod
  attr_accessor(:one, :two)
end
Mod.instance_methods.sort   #=> [:one, :one=, :two, :two=]

我是ruby的新手，不得不理解下面的奇怪之处。也许将来能帮到别人。最后，就像上面提到的，其中两个函数(def myvar, def myvar=)都隐式地访问@myvar，但是这些方法可以被局部声明覆盖。

class Foo
  attr_accessor 'myvar'
  def initialize
    @myvar = "A"
    myvar = "B"
    puts @myvar # A
    puts myvar # B - myvar declared above overrides myvar method
  end

  def test
    puts @myvar # A
    puts myvar # A - coming from myvar accessor

    myvar = "C" # local myvar overrides accessor
    puts @myvar # A
    puts myvar # C

    send "myvar=", "E" # not running "myvar =", but instead calls setter for @myvar
    puts @myvar # E
    puts myvar # C
  end
end

嗯。很多很好的答案。这是我的一些看法。

attr_accessor是一个简单的方法，可以帮助我们清理(DRY-ing)重复的getter和setter方法。 这样我们就可以更专注于编写业务逻辑而不用担心setter和getter。

The main functionality of attr_accessor over the other ones is the capability of accessing data from other files. So you usually would have attr_reader or attr_writer but the good news is that Ruby lets you combine these two together with attr_accessor. I think of it as my to go method because it is more well rounded or versatile. Also, peep in mind that in Rails, this is eliminated because it does it for you in the back end. So in other words: you are better off using attr_acessor over the other two because you don't have to worry about being to specific, the accessor covers it all. I know this is more of a general explanation but it helped me as a beginner.

希望这对你有所帮助!

假设您有一个类Person。

class Person
end

person = Person.new
person.name # => no method error

显然，我们没有定义方法名。我们来做一下。

class Person
  def name
    @name # simply returning an instance variable @name
  end
end

person = Person.new
person.name # => nil
person.name = "Dennis" # => no method error

啊哈，我们可以读名字，但这并不意味着我们可以分配名字。这是两种不同的方法。前者称为读者，后者称为作者。我们还没有创建写入器，我们来做一下。

class Person
  def name
    @name
  end

  def name=(str)
    @name = str
  end
end

person = Person.new
person.name = 'Dennis'
person.name # => "Dennis"

太棒了。现在我们可以使用reader和writer方法写入和读取实例变量@name。不过，这是经常做的，为什么每次都浪费时间写这些方法呢?我们可以做得简单些。

class Person
  attr_reader :name
  attr_writer :name
end

即使这样也会重复。当你同时需要读取器和写入器时，只需使用访问器!

class Person
  attr_accessor :name
end

person = Person.new
person.name = "Dennis"
person.name # => "Dennis"

原理是一样的!你猜怎么着:person对象中的实例变量@name将被设置，就像我们手动设置时一样，所以你可以在其他方法中使用它。

class Person
  attr_accessor :name

  def greeting
    "Hello #{@name}"
  end
end

person = Person.new
person.name = "Dennis"
person.greeting # => "Hello Dennis"

就是这样。为了理解attr_reader, attr_writer和attr_accessor方法是如何为你生成方法的，请阅读其他答案，书籍，ruby文档。
