Instance Method Details

- (Boolean) blank?

An object is blank if it's false, empty, or a whitespace string. For example, "", " ", nil, [], and {} are blank.

This simplifies

if !address.nil? && !address.empty?

to

if !address.blank?

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

- (Object) returning(value) {|value| ... }

Returns value after yielding value to the block. This simplifies the process of constructing an object, performing work on the object, and then returning the object from a method. It is a Ruby-ized realization of the K combinator, courtesy of Mikael Brockman.

Examples

# Without returning
def foo
  values = []
  values << "bar"
  values << "baz"
  return values
end

foo # => ['bar', 'baz']

# returning with a local variable
def foo
  returning values = [] do
    values << 'bar'
    values << 'baz'
  end
end

foo # => ['bar', 'baz']

# returning with a block argument
def foo
  returning [] do |values|
    values << 'bar'
    values << 'baz'
  end
end

foo # => ['bar', 'baz']

Yields:

  • (value)

def returning(value)
  yield(value)
  value
end

- (Object) tap {|_self| ... }

Yields:

  • (_self)

Yield Parameters:

  • _self (Object) —

    the object that the method was called on
