Instance Method Details

#blank? ⇒ Boolean

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

# File 'lib/core/facets/kernel/blank.rb', line 44

def blank?
  true
end

#clone? ⇒ Boolean

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


34
 
# File 'lib/core/facets/object/dup.rb', line 34

def clone? ; false ; end

#dup! ⇒ Object

Since NilClass is immutable it cannot be duplicated. For this reason #try_dup returns self.

nil.dup!  #=> nil



32
 
# File 'lib/core/facets/object/dup.rb', line 32

def dup!   ; self  ; end

#dup? ⇒ Boolean

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


33
 
# File 'lib/core/facets/object/dup.rb', line 33

def dup?   ; false ; end

#ergo ⇒ Object

Compliments Kernel#ergo.

"a".ergo{ |o| o.upcase } #=> "A"
nil.ergo{ |o| o.bar }    #=> nil
