How do I list all objects created from a class in Ruby? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Maybe this will work:

class Project
  class << self; attr_accessor :instances; end

  attr_accessor :name, :tasks

  def initialize(options)
    @name = options[:name]
    @tasks = options[:tasks]

    self.class.instances ||= Array.new
    self.class.instances << self
  end

  def self.all
    # return listing of project objects
    instances ? instances.dup : []
  end

  def self.count
    # return a count of existing projects
    instances ? instances.count : 0 
  end

  def destroy
    self.class.instances.delete(self)
  end
end

But you will have to manually destroy these objects. Maybe other solution can be build based on ObjectSpace module.
