From: shevegen@... Date: 2017-10-19T05:28:12+00:00 Subject: [ruby-core:83369] [Ruby trunk Feature#14025] #initialize with ivars Issue #14025 has been updated by shevegen (Robert A. Heiler). I don't quite understand your second example. class Person initialize name: 'person', age: 18 Did you not define before that only one argument can be passed? class Person def initialize name = 'person' By the way, I seem to be missing parts of what you are trying to suggest. If you mean to initialize @variables by default, similar to what crystal does, then I think this has been suggested before. I do not know of the current status either way, but I think that it may be for ruby 3.x at best due to backwards compatibility (I may be wrong here too but the ruby core team has said this a few times before in general). ---------------------------------------- Feature #14025: #initialize with ivars https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14025#change-67327 * Author: frankpimenta (Frank Pimenta) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- For: class Person def initialize name = 'person' @name = name end end I thought that the following would be nice: class Person initialize :name end class Person initialize name: 'person', age: 18 end class Person def initialize @name="person", @age=18 puts "initializing...something to run before" end end -- B., Frank. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
