Similar to type, this method returns a symbol that you can use for splitting on the type of the node without having to do a long === chain. Note that like type, it will still be slower than using == for a single class, but should be faster in a case statement or an array comparison.

Public Instance Methods

===(other) click to toggle source

Implements case-equality for the node. This is effectively == but without comparing the value of locations. Locations are checked only for presence.

# File prism/node.rb, line 389
def ===(other)
  other.is_a?(AliasMethodNode) &&
    (new_name === other.new_name) &&
    (old_name === other.old_name) &&
    (keyword_loc.nil? == other.keyword_loc.nil?)

Also aliased as: deconstruct

# File prism/node.rb, line 324
def copy(new_name: self.new_name, old_name: self.old_name, keyword_loc: self.keyword_loc, location: self.location)
  AliasMethodNode.new(source, new_name, old_name, keyword_loc, location)

Sometimes you want to check an instance of a node against a list of classes to see what kind of behavior to perform. Usually this is done by calling ‘[cls1, cls2].include?(node.class)` or putting the node into a case statement and doing `case node; when cls1; when cls2; end`. Both of these approaches are relatively slow because of the constant lookups, method calls, and/or array allocations.

Instead, you can call type, which will return to you a symbol that you can use for comparison. This is faster than the other approaches because it uses a single integer comparison, but also because if you’re on CRuby you can take advantage of the fact that case statements with all symbol keys will use a jump table.
