# class Prism::LocalVariableWriteNode

Represents writing to a local variable.

    foo = 1
    ^^^^^^^

### Attributes

depth [R]

The number of semantic scopes we have to traverse to find the declaration of this variable.

    foo = 1         # depth 0

    tap { foo = 1 } # depth 1

The specific rules for calculating the depth may differ from individual Ruby implementations, as they are not specified by the language. For more information, see the Prism documentation.

name [R]

The name of the local variable, which is an identifier.

    foo = :bar # name `:foo`

    abc = 123  # name `:abc`

value [R]

The value to write to the local variable. It can be any non-void expression.

    foo = :bar
          ^^^^

    abc = 1234
          ^^^^

Note that since the name of a local variable is known before the value is parsed, it is valid for a local variable to appear within the value of its own write.

    foo = foo

new (source, node_id, location, flags, name, depth, name_loc, value, operator_loc)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 12312
    def initialize(source, node_id, location, flags, name, depth, name_loc, value, operator_loc)
      @source = source

      @name = name
      @depth = depth
      @name_loc = name_loc
      @value = value
      @operator_loc = operator_loc
    end

Initialize a new `LocalVariableWriteNode` node.

type ()
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 12434
    def self.type
      :local_variable_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 12440
    def ===(other)
      other.is_a?(LocalVariableWriteNode) &&
        (name === other.name) &&
        (depth === other.depth) &&
        (name_loc.nil? == other.name_loc.nil?) &&
        (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.
