# class Prism::ConstantPathWriteNode

Represents writing to a constant path.

    ::Foo = 1
    ^^^^^^^^^

    Foo::Bar = 1
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^

    ::Foo::Bar = 1
    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

### Attributes

target [R]

A node representing the constant path being written to.

    Foo::Bar = 1
    ^^^^^^^^

    ::Foo = :abc
    ^^^^^

value [R]

The value to write to the constant path. It can be any [non-void expression](github.com/ruby/prism/blob/main/docs/parsing_rules.md#non-void-expression).

    FOO::BAR = :abc
               ^^^^

new (source, node_id, location, flags, target, operator_loc, value)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 5498
    def initialize(source, node_id, location, flags, target, operator_loc, value)
      @source = source
      @node_id = node_id
      @location = location
      @flags = flags
      @target = target
      @operator_loc = operator_loc
      @value = value
    end

Initialize a new `ConstantPathWriteNode` node.

type ()
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 5588
    def self.type
      :constant_path_write_node
    end

Return a symbol representation of this node type. See ‘Node::type`.

### Public Instance Methods

=== (other)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 5594
    def ===(other)
      other.is_a?(ConstantPathWriteNode) &&
        (target === other.target) &&
        (operator_loc.nil? == other.operator_loc.nil?) &&
        (value === other.value)
    end

Implements case-equality for the node. This is effectively == but without comparing the value of locations. Locations are checked only for presence.

accept (visitor)

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 5509
    def accept(visitor)
      visitor.visit_constant_path_write_node(self)
    end

def accept: (`Visitor` visitor) -> void

      @operator_loc = Location.new(source, location >> 32, location & 0xFFFFFFFF)
    end

The location of the ‘=` operator.
