class Crystal::Macros::MacroId
Overview
A fictitious node representing an idenfitifer like, foo
, Bar
or something_else
.
The parser doesn't create this nodes. Instead, you create them by invoking #id
on some nodes. For example, invoking #id
on a StringLiteral
returns a MacroId
for the string's content. Similarly, invoking ID on a SymbolLiteral
, Call
, Var
and Path
return MacroIds for the node's content.
This allows you to treat strings, symbols, variables and calls unifomly. For example:
macro getter(name)
def {{name.id}}
@{{name.id}}
end
end
getter unicorns
getter :unicorns
getter "unicorns"
All of the above macro calls work because we invoked #id
, and the generated code
looks like this:
def unicorns
@unicorns
end
If we hand't use #id
, the generated code would have been this:
def unicorns
@unicorns
end
def :unicorns
@:unicorns
end
def "unicorns"
@"unicorns"
end
The last two definitions are invalid and so will give a compile-time error.
