Attributes

lefts

Read

Represents the targets expressions before a splat node.

a, b, * = 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
      ^^^^

value

The value to write to the targets. It can be any [non-void expression](github.com/ruby/prism/blob/main/docs/parsing_rules.md#non-void-expression).
