Attributes

lefts

Read

Represents the targets expressions before a splat node.

a, (b, c, *) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
    ^^^^

The splat node can be absent, in that case all target expressions are in the left field.

a, (b, c) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
    ^^^^

rest

Read

Represents a splat node in the target expression.

a, (b, *c) = 1, 2, 3, 4
       ^^

The variable can be empty, this results in a SplatNode with a nil expression field.

a, (b, *) = 1, 2, 3, 4
       ^

If the ‘*` is omitted, this field will contain an ImplicitRestNode

a, (b,) = 1, 2, 3, 4
     ^

rights

Read

Represents the targets expressions after a splat node.

a, (*, b, c) = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
       ^^^^
