Struct lib_ruby_parser::nodes::Sym

pub struct Sym {
    pub name: StringValue,
    pub begin_l: Option<Range>,
    pub end_l: Option<Range>,
    pub expression_l: Range,
}

Represents a plain symbol literal (i.e. :foo)

Fields

name: StringValue

Value of the symbol literal

Note that it's a StringValue, not a String. The reason is that you can get UTF-8 incompatible strings from a valid UTF-8 source using escape sequences like "\xFF"

These "", "x", "F", "F" chars are valid separately, but together they construct a char with code = 255 that is invalid for UTF-8.

You can use to_string_lossy or to_string methods to get a raw symbol value.

begin_l: Option<Range>

Location of the symbol begin

:foo
~

None if symbol is a label ({ foo: 1 }) or a part of the symbols array (%i[foo bar baz])

end_l: Option<Range>

Location of the symbol end

{ foo: 1 }
     ~

None if symbol is not a label (:foo) or a part of the symbols array (%i[foo bar baz])

expression_l: Range

Location of the full expression

:foo
~~~~

{ foo: 1 }
  ~~~~

%i[foo]
   ~~~
