Eregon (Benoit Daloze) wrote in #note-12: > Maybe a new method or kwarg to `const_get` which has some special behavior regarding autoload (to not trigger them)? That sounds good to me. What about `Object.const_dig(:JSON, :JSON_LOADED)` which returns nil if at any point the constant is not defined or not yet autoloaded. It can even mirror the #dig behavior: ```ruby Object.const_dig(:JSON, :JSON_LOADED, :SOMETHING) # TrueClass does not have #const_dig method (TypeError) ``` ---------------------------------------- Feature #21000: A way to avoid loading constant required by a type check https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/21000#change-111368 * Author: Dan0042 (Daniel DeLorme) * Status: Open ---------------------------------------- There is this pattern I encounter sometimes: ```ruby if defined?(NameSpace::ClassName) and obj.is_a?(NameSpace::ClassName) ``` Searching in gems, the pattern is fairly common: https://pastebin.com/VGfjRWNu I would like a way to avoid the repetition of `NameSpace::ClassName` above. I can think of a number of ways to approach the issue, each with different tradeoffs... ### Pattern match ignores uninitialized constant Pattern match like `obj in XYZ` could return false if XYZ is not defined. The danger here is that a typo could go undetected and just silently ignore the error even when the constants is expected to be defined. ### Pattern match has special syntax to ignore uninitialized constant Pattern match such as `obj in XYZ?` (or some other syntax) could return false if XYZ is not defined. The downside is that we're adding yet more new syntax. But it could be `obj in defined?(XYZ)` and then it doesn't really feel like new syntax. ### Do not autoload constants required by pattern match If we have `autoload :XYZ, "xyz"` then `obj in XYZ` could skip the autoload and return false. There is a possibility that `XYZ` might be defined as a regexp or other matcher that return true, but in general autoload is only used for classes/modules. And if the class/module is not yet loaded, obviously an object of that type cannot exist so we can avoid loading it. But this would only work for autoloaded constants, so can't be used to check a library that might not be loaded, ex: `obj in ActiveRecord::Base` ### defined?(mod) returns mod if it's a class/module If XYZ is a module, `defined?(XYZ)` could return XYZ instead of returning "constant". So it can be used in expressions like ```ruby case obj when nil when defined?(XYZ) ``` ```ruby if obj and defined?(XYZ) === obj ``` ```ruby if defined?(Gem::Specification)&.respond_to?(:each) ``` Very versatile, with the downside that it's a small backward incompatibiliy. -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ ______________________________________________ ruby-core mailing list -- ruby-core@ml.ruby-lang.org To unsubscribe send an email to ruby-core-leave@ml.ruby-lang.org ruby-core info -- https://ml.ruby-lang.org/mailman3/lists/ruby-core.ml.ruby-lang.org/
