Ruby: How do I pass all parameters and blocks received by one method to another?

Question

I am writing a helper that adds an HTML attribute to a link_to tag in rails. So, my thinking is that my helper method should accept any parameters or blocks passed to it, call l

Answer 1

def method(...)

Starting from Ruby 2.7 it is possible to pass all the arguments of the current method to the other method using (...).

So, now,

def my_helper(*args, &block)
  link_to(*args, &block)
  
  # your code
end

can be rewritten as

def my_helper(...)
  link_to(...)

  # your code
end

Answer 2

You can use * and & in method calls to turn arrays back into lists of arguments and procs back into blocks. So you can just do this:

def myhelper(*args, &block)
  link_to(*args, &block)
  # your code
end
