Description

I frequently see code that uses some value if that value satisfies a certain condition, and something else otherwise.

a.some_condition ? a : b

And in most cases, the value of a is non-nil when the condition is satisfied.

I propose to have a method, perhaps named verify, which would implemented to be equivalent to this definition:

class Object
  def verify
    self if yield(self)
  end
end

Then, we can write the expression above (assuming a is non-nil when the condition is satisfied) like this:

a.verify{|a| a.some_condition} || b

Perhaps it would also be useful to do something like:

a.verify{|a| a.some_condition}&.chaining_of_more_methods
