Hanmac (Hans Mackowiak) wrote: > `private def bar(var)` I don't like the syntax it provides. What I do currently is: ``` class Foo def bar(var) puts ���Hello #{var}!��� end private :bar def baz(arg) bar(arg) end public :baz end ``` Looking forward for a solution to reduce the impact of that declaration. (In my libraries I want the declaration of the access modifier for every method in every class and every module with proper documentation in place to understand what is the visibility of each method at all times.) ---------------------------------------- Feature #14392: Pipe operator https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/14392#change-69773 * Author: dsferreira (Daniel Ferreira) * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: ---------------------------------------- I would like to see implemented in ruby a pipe operator as we have in elixir. An example of application I have in mind is this: ```ruby class Foo def bar(var) puts ���Hello #{var}!��� end |> private def baz(arg) bar(arg) end end foo = Foo.new foo.baz("Fred") # => "Hello Fred!" ``` It can also help simplify method chains: ```ruby class Secret def initialise(user, password) @user = user @password = password end def second_pass(encrypted_string) encrypted_string.chain_4.chain_5.chain_6 end |> private ## # Super encryption def super_encryption @password.chain_1.chain_2.chain_3 |> second_pass end |> public end ``` And also simplify codes like this: ```ruby class Foo def bar(*args) baz = args.select { |arg| arg =~ /regex/ }.first good?(baz) end public :bar def good(arg) arg.to_s.size > 10 end private :good end ``` to become: ```ruby class Foo ## # Bar public method. def bar(*args) args.select { |arg| arg =~ /regex/ }.first |> good? end |> public def good(arg) arg.to_s.size > 10 end |> private end ``` Lots of local variables would be saved and I would expect some performance improvements with that. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe:
