klass()

Returns the class for the macro, so “composed_of :balance, :#class_name => ‘Money’” would return the Money class and “has_many :clients” would return the Client class.

def klass() end
macro()

Returns the name of the macro, so it would return :composed_of for “composed_of :balance, :#class_name => ‘Money’” or :has_many for “has_many :clients”.

Source: show 

# File rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/reflection.rb, line 86
def macro
  @macro
end
name()

Returns the name of the macro, so it would return :balance for “composed_of :balance, :#class_name => ‘Money’” or :clients for “has_many :clients”.

Source: show 

# File rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/reflection.rb, line 80
def name
  @name
end
options()

Returns the hash of options used for the macro, so it would return { :#class_name => “Money” } for “composed_of :balance, :#class_name => ‘Money’” or {} for “has_many :clients”.
