In-Reply-To: redmine.issue-15829.20190505182618@ruby-lang.org
Issue #15829 has been updated by nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada).
Description updated
As it seems useful only when `condition` doesn't use the parameter `query`, it is questionable to me if it is generic enough to be a language feature.
----------------------------------------
Feature #15829: Object#then_if(condition){}
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/15829#change-77979

----------------------------------------
I'd like to propose some sugar to Object#then
There should be `Object#then_if(condition, &block)`
The block should only be applied when the condition is true,
otherwise the object should be returned without applying the block.
Rationale:
I frequently use `Object#then` with Rails to extend queries like this:
```ruby
foo.then {|query|
if(condition)
query.where(zip:zap)
else
query
end
}
```
by using the proposed `Object#then_if` the example could be simplified to:
```ruby
foo.then_if(condition) {|query|
query.where(zip:zap)
}
```
I believe that this also applies to a lot of other use cases,
i.e. only applying some transformation if some condition is true,
but otherwise leaving the result untouched.
