class method

Ruby::Prism::Node.type

type

# File tmp/rubies/ruby-4.1.0-preview1/lib/ruby/prism/node.rb, line 433
def self.type
  raise NoMethodError, "undefined method `type' for #{inspect}"
end

Similar to type, this method returns a symbol that you can use for splitting on the type of the node without having to do a long === chain. Note that like type, it will still be slower than using == for a single class, but should be faster in a case statement or an array comparison.
