Why is it using a global variable for this?
module RubyLLM
class Error < StandardError; end
class << self
def chat(model: nil)
Chat.new(model: model)
end
If you're wondering about module RubyLLM. That's just how Ruby is often written.
Addendum: Ruby does not require you to put the opening and closing parenthesis on a function to run that function, and it's not always put there when you have zero or 1 parameter (I find it to be cleaner when you have a parameter, but have no opinion when there isn't a parameter)
In the example code from the link itself, you'll see:
chat.ask "What's the best way to learn Ruby?"
chat.ask("What's the best way to learn Ruby?")mind = blown
I always liked how functionName denotes the function and functionName() calls the function, and then it denotes the result e.g. in JavaScript or in math. But just saying functionName to call a function makes the code read more like English. Code that reads like English > code that reads like math. (And you can still talk about functions of course.)
