Instance Method Details

#attr_predicate(*attributes) ⇒ nil

Creates predicate (boolean) methods that return true/false Similar to attr_reader, attr_writer, etc. Designed to work with regular classes, Struct, and Data objects.

Note: If ActiveSupport is loaded, this will check if the value is present? instead of truthy

Examples:

With a regular class

class User
  attr_predicate :admin
  attr_accessor :admin
end

user = User.new
user.admin? # => false
user.admin = true
user.admin? # => true

With Struct/Data

Person = Struct.new(:active)
Person.attr_predicate(:active)

person = Person.new(active: true)
person.active? # => true

Parameters:

Returns:

  • (nil)

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    If a predicate method of the same name already exists
