What’s new in mruby 1.3.0

The safe navigation operator (&.)

mruby 1.3 now supports the safe navigation operator (&.) to help handle nil value returned from methods. This feature comes from Ruby 2.3.

By using the safe navigation operator, you can simply write

1

account&.owner&.address

Instead of writing

1

account && account.owner && account.owner.address

Or (with ActiveSupport)

1

account.try(:owner).try(:address)

Array#dig, Hash#dig

#dig is a method to retrieve a value from JSON-like nested Array/Hash structures.

This feature also comes from Ruby 2.3.

For example:

1

params.dig(:account, :owner, :address)

Instead of

1
2
3

account = params[:account]
owner = account[:owner]
owner[:address]

Object#freeze

You can now “freeze” an object by using Object#freeze.

Frozen objects cannot be modified.

Kernel#caller

You can retrieve call frame information by using Kernel#caller.
