Use safe navigation (&.
) instead of checking if an object exists before calling the method. Open
client && client.close
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop transforms usages of a method call safeguarded by a non nil
check for the variable whose method is being called to
safe navigation (&.
).
Configuration option: ConvertCodeThatCanStartToReturnNil
The default for this is false
. When configured to true
, this will
check for code in the format !foo.nil? && foo.bar
. As it is written,
the return of this code is limited to false
and whatever the return
of the method is. If this is converted to safe navigation,
foo&.bar
can start returning nil
as well as what the method
returns.
Example:
# bad
foo.bar if foo
foo.bar(param1, param2) if foo
foo.bar { |e| e.something } if foo
foo.bar(param) { |e| e.something } if foo
foo.bar if !foo.nil?
foo.bar unless !foo
foo.bar unless foo.nil?
foo && foo.bar
foo && foo.bar(param1, param2)
foo && foo.bar { |e| e.something }
foo && foo.bar(param) { |e| e.something }
# good
foo&.bar
foo&.bar(param1, param2)
foo&.bar { |e| e.something }
foo&.bar(param) { |e| e.something }
foo.nil? || foo.bar
!foo || foo.bar
# Methods that `nil` will `respond_to?` should not be converted to
# use safe navigation
foo.to_i if foo
