attr_reader expression: Prism::node?

### Public Class Methods

new (source, node_id, location, flags, operator_loc, expression)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16874
    def initialize(source, node_id, location, flags, operator_loc, expression)
      @source = source
      @node_id = node_id
      @location = location
      @flags = flags
      @operator_loc = operator_loc
      @expression = expression
    end

Initialize a new `SplatNode` node.

type ()
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16950
    def self.type
      :splat_node
    end

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

### Public Instance Methods

=== (other)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16956
    def ===(other)
      other.is_a?(SplatNode) &&
        (operator_loc.nil? == other.operator_loc.nil?) &&
        (expression === other.expression)
    end

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

accept (visitor)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16884
    def accept(visitor)
      visitor.visit_splat_node(self)
    end

def accept: (`Visitor` visitor) -> void

child_nodes ()
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16889
    def child_nodes
      [expression]
    end

def `child_nodes`: () -> Array

Also aliased as: deconstruct
comment_targets ()
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16901

Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16894
    def compact_child_nodes

copy (node_id: self.node_id, location: self.location, flags: self.flags, operator_loc: self.operator_loc, expression: self.expression)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16906
    def copy(node_id: self.node_id, location: self.location, flags: self.flags, operator_loc: self.operator_loc, expression: self.expression)
      SplatNode.new(source, node_id, location, flags, operator_loc, expression)
    end

def copy: (?node_id: `Integer`, ?location: `Location`, ?flags: `Integer`, ?operator_loc: `Location`, ?expression: Prism::node?) -> `SplatNode`

deconstruct ()

def deconstruct: () -> Array

Alias for: child_nodes
deconstruct_keys (keys)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16914
    def deconstruct_keys(keys)
      { node_id: node_id, location: location, operator_loc: operator_loc, expression: expression }
    end

def `deconstruct_keys`: (Array keys) -> { node_id: `Integer`, location: `Location`, `operator_loc`: `Location`, expression: Prism::node? }

inspect ()
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16940

Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16919
    def operator_loc
      location = @operator_loc
      return location if location.is_a?(Location)
      @operator_loc = Location.new(source, location >> 32, location & 0xFFFFFFFF)
    end

attr_reader `operator_loc`: `Location`

save_operator_loc (repository)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 16927
    def save_operator_loc(repository)
      repository.enter(node_id, :operator_loc)
    end

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