instance method
anonymous?
Ruby on Rails 8.0.4
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
anonymous? method returns true if 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
