# class Prism::AssocNode

Represents a hash key/value pair.

    { a => b }
      ^^^^^^

### Attributes

key [R]

The key of the association. This can be any non-void expression.

    { a: b }
      ^

    { foo => bar }
      ^^^

    { def a; end => 1 }
      ^^^^^^^^^^

value [R]

The value of the association, if present. This can be any non-void expression.

    { foo => bar }
             ^^^

    { x: 1 }
         ^

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

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 1195
    def initialize(source, node_id, location, flags, key, value, operator_loc)
      @source = source
      @node_id = node_id
      @location = location
      @flags = flags
      @key = key
      @value = value
      @operator_loc = operator_loc
    end

Initialize a new `AssocNode` node.

type ()
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 1297
    def self.type
      :assoc_node
    end

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

### Public Instance Methods

=== (other)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 1303
    def ===(other)
      other.is_a?(AssocNode) &&
        (key === other.key) &&
        (value === other.value) &&
        (operator_loc.nil? == other.operator_loc.nil?)
    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 1206
    def accept(visitor)
      visitor.visit_assoc_node(self)
    end

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

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

The location of the `=>` operator, if present.
