Copy this code and paste it in your HTML 
  1. # since define_method is private, we will abstract it into a public method named create_method
  2.   # so that we can just use Object#create_method when we want to dynamically create methods
  3.   # Now you can do something like
  4.   # ["one","two","three"].each { |n| Model.create_method("number_#{n}") { puts n }}
  5.   # Now you have :
  6.   #               Model.number_one # => one
  7.   #               Model.number_two # => two
  8.   #               Model.number_three # => three
  9.   def create_method(name,&block)
  10.     self.class.send(:define_method,name,&block)
  11.   end
