instance method
anonymous?
Ruby on Rails edge
Since v3.0.20Signature
anonymous?()A module may or may not have a name.
“‘ module M; end M.name # => “M”
m = Module.new m.name # => nil
“‘
The anonymous? predicate returns true if the module does not have a name, false otherwise:
“‘ Module.new.anonymous? # => true
module M; end M.anonymous? # => false “‘
A module gets a name when it is first assigned to a constant. Either
via the module or class keyword or by an explicit assignment:
“‘ m = Module.new # creates an anonymous module m.anonymous? # => true M = m # m gets a name here as a side-effect m.name # => “M” m.anonymous? # => false “`
