Boost Your Ruby Methods with Yield: A Flexible Approach to Dynamic Coding

Peter Kim Frank - May 2 '23 - - Dev Community

Hey Ruby developers! Did you know that you can use the "yield" keyword in your methods to make them more flexible? By calling "yield" in your method, you can execute a block of code passed in by the caller. This can be especially useful for creating dynamic methods that can adapt to different situations.

Here's an example:

def my_method
  puts "Before yield"
  yield
  puts "After yield"
end

my_method { puts "Inside yield" }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

And the output:

Before yield
Inside yield
After yield

Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
