Class Methods

Initialize a new InstanceVariableWriteNode node.

Return a symbol representation of this node type. See ‘Node::type`.

Instance Methods

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

def accept: (Visitor visitor) -> void

def child_nodes: () -> Array[nil | Node]

def comment_targets: () -> Array[Node | Location]

def copy: (?node_id: Integer, ?location: Location, ?flags: Integer, ?name: Symbol, ?name_loc: Location, ?value: Prism::node, ?operator_loc: Location) -> InstanceVariableWriteNode

An alias for child_nodes

def deconstruct_keys: (Array keys) -> { node_id: Integer, location: Location, name: Symbol, name_loc: Location, value: Prism::node, operator_loc: Location }

def inspect -> String

The location of the variable name.

@_x = 1
^^^

def operator: () -> String

The location of the ‘=` operator.

@x = y
   ^

Save the name_loc location using the given saved source so that it can be retrieved later.

Save the operator_loc location using the given saved source so that it can be retrieved later.

Return a symbol representation of this node type. See ‘Node#type`.
