Overview

Node instances are created by parse methods in ::RubyVM::AbstractSyntaxTree.

This class is MRI specific.

Instance Method Summary

Instance Method Details

#children ⇒ Array

Returns AST nodes under this one. Each kind of node has different children, depending on what kind of node it is.

The returned array may contain other nodes or nil.

    #node_id  ⇒ Integer   



  

    

Returns an internal node_id number. Note that this is an API for ruby internal use, debugging, and research. Do not use this for any other purpose. The compatibility is not guaranteed.

    #script_lines  ⇒ Array   



  

    

Returns the original source code as an array of lines.

    #source  ⇒ String   



  

    

Returns the code fragment that corresponds to this AST.



Note that this is an API for ruby internal use, debugging, and research. Do not use this for any other purpose. The compatibility is not guaranteed.



Also note that this API may return an incomplete code fragment that does not parse; for example, a here document following an expression may be dropped.

lasgn.type # => :LASGN
call = lasgn.children[1]
call.type # => :OPCALL
