# How to use Ruby forward arguments notation ... # Part 1: An example of a simple reporting module puts RUBY_VERSION # 3.1.2 class Provider def report(message, object, *args, **kwargs, &) = puts "Provider work" end # Forward arguments notation helps forward all arguments to a method call module Reporting # First parameter is defined, the rest are not needed def self.log(message, ...) puts message before(...) console_logging(message, ...) error_reporting(...) end # Only the &block is needed so everything else is ignored def self.before(*_, **_, &block) = block&.call("#{self.name}##{__method__}") # Using all params thus ... is not used def self.console_logging(message, object, *args, **kwargs, &block) puts "Message <#{message}>: #{object} with args: #{args} and kwargs: #{kwargs} with block: #{block}" end # Forward all params def self.error_reporting(...) = Provider.new.report(...) end # Sample usage Admin = Struct.new(:name, keyword_init: true) admin = Admin.new(name: "Alex") step = 3 Reporting.log("Test message", admin, step, config: { app: true }) do puts "Executing this around logging" end
