Ruby 2.0 Keyword Arguments Ian Anderson
Ruby 1.9 - Hash parameters def foo(opts = {}) bar
= opts.fetch(:bar, 'default') puts bar end foo # 'default' foo(bar: 'baz') # 'baz'
Ruby 2.0 - Keyword arguments def foo(bar: 'default') puts bar
end foo # 'default' foo(bar: 'baz') # 'baz'
What if..? def foo(bar: 'default') puts bar end foo('baz') #
ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 0)
PRINCIPLE OF MOST SURPRISE
Keyword arguments + (optional) options def foo(bar, baz: 'qux', **options)
puts [bar, baz, options] end foo(1, option: 2) # [1, 'qux', {:option => 2}] foo(1, option: 2, baz: 'notqux') # [1, 'notqux', {:option => 2}]
Janky required keyword arguments def foo(bar: raise(ArgumentError)) puts bar end
foo # ArgumentError: ArgumentError foo(bar: 'baz') # 'baz'
Block keyword arguments whoooaaaa define_method(:foo) do |bar: 'baz'| puts bar
end foo # 'baz' foo(bar: 'qux') # 'qux'
Concrete example - Ruby 1.9 def accepts_nested_attributes_for(*attr_names) options = {
:allow_destroy => false, :update_only => false } options.update(attr_names.extract_options!) options.assert_valid_keys( :allow_destroy, :reject_if, :limit, :update_only ) end
Concrete example - Ruby 2.0 def accepts_nested_attributes_for(*attr_names, allow_destroy: false, update_only:
false reject_if: nil, limit: nil ) end
Anatomy of a Ruby 2.0 method def foo( {required_arguments, ...}
{optional_arguments, ...} {*rest || more_required_arguments...} {keyword_arguments: "defaults"...} {**rest_of_keyword_arguments} {&block_capture} )
Method of the year. def foo(req1, req2, maybe1 = "42",
maybe2 = maybe1.upcase, *args, named1: 'foo', named2: bar(named1, req2), **options, &block) end def bar(a, b) # ... end
