AnyOf

If you're dealing with more variable data, there's any_of to allow multiple types. This is especially useful for optional values, since we treat nil just like any other value.

value = user.preferred_name
shape = Kt.any_of(String, nil)
Kt.compare(value:, shape:).match? # => true

It can also be used to make a key optional in a hash.

value = {a: 1}
shape = {a: Integer, b: Kt.any_of(Integer, :$undefined)}
Kt.compare(value:, shape:).match? # => true

See the Hashes document for more information on the special :$undefined shape.

Alternative Syntax

In the documentation, we call Kt.any_of as a method, but that's actually just a convenience.

You can also use the AnyOf class directly.

It's all up to your personal preference.

Alternative Syntax Examples

Kt.any_of(String, nil)
Kt::AnyOf.new(String, nil)
Kt::AnyOf[String, nil]
