In this guide, we are going to discuss another important concept in OOP called polymorphism. Polymorphism occurs when a class that inherits from a parent class overrides the behavior provided by the parent class.
To see a basic example, we'll continue working with our ApiConnector class:
class ApiConnector
def initialize(title:, description:, url: 'google.com')
@title = title
@description = description
@url = url
end
def api_logger
puts "API Connector starting..."
end
end
I've added a new method to our class called api_logger.
Next, I'll create a class called PhoneConnector that inherits from our ApiConnector class. After we instantiate the class, it can call the api_logger method that we created in the parent class:
class PhoneConnector < ApiConnector
end
phone = PhoneConnector...
