Instance Method Details

#_names_(option = nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: ɴ

Maps an array to an array of the element names, obtained by applying #_name_ method to them. Takes one optional argument, which regulates its behavior regarding unnamed objects. If set to nil (default) unnamed objects will be mapped to nil (default behavior of #_name_ method). If set to true, unnamed objects will be mapped to themselves. If set to false, unnamed objects will not be mapped at all -- the returned array will contain only the names of the named objects.

#names(option = nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: full_names

Maps an array of some objects into an array of their names, obtained by applying #full_name method to them. Takes one optional argument, which regulates its behavior regarding unnamed objects. If set to nil (default), unnamed objects will be mapped to nil (default behavior of the #name method). If set to true, unnamed objects will be mapped to themselves. If set to false, unnamed objects will not be mapped at all -- the returned array will contain only the names of the named objects.
