# class Prism::CaseMatchNode

Represents the use of a case statement for pattern matching.

    case true
    in false
    end
    ^^^^^^^^^

### Attributes

conditions [R]

Represents the conditions of the case match.

    case true; in false; end
               ^^^^^^^^

else_clause [R]

Represents the else clause of the case match.

    case true; in false; else; end
                         ^^^^

predicate [R]

Represents the predicate of the case match. This can be either ‘nil` or any [non-void expressions](github.com/ruby/prism/blob/main/docs/parsing_rules.md#non-void-expression).

    case true; in false; end
    ^^^^

type ()
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 3646

### Public Instance Methods

=== (other)
Source

    # File lib/prism/node.rb, line 3652
    def ===(other)
      other.is_a?(CaseMatchNode) &&
        (predicate === other.predicate) &&
        (conditions.length == other.conditions.length) &&
        conditions.zip(other.conditions).all? { |left, right| left === right } &&
        (else_clause === other.else_clause) &&
        (case_keyword_loc.nil? == other.case_keyword_loc.nil?) &&
        (end_keyword_loc.nil? == other.end_keyword_loc.nil?)
    end

Implements case-equality for the node. This is effectively == but without comparing the value of locations. Locations are checked only for presence.
