class Prism::Visitor - prism: Ruby Standard Library Documentation

# class Prism::Visitor

A visitor is a class that provides a default implementation for every accept method defined on the nodes. This means it can walk a tree without the caller needing to define any special handling. This allows you to handle a subset of the tree, while still walking the whole tree.

For example, to find all of the method calls that call the ‘foo` method, you could write:

    class FooCalls < Prism::Visitor
      def visit_call_node(node)
        if node.name == "foo"
          # Do something with the node
        end

        # Call super so that the visitor continues walking the tree
        super
      end
    end
