A simple gem for a method that always returns void.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'void_method', '~> 1.0'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or you can install the gem on its own:

gem install void_method

Call the void method to declaratively execute code and return nil:

void do
  # some code that returns a value to be ignored
end
# => nil

The block is passed the receiver of void as parameter, so it can be used like tap and then.

If Kernel#void is already defined, the gem raises an exception.

Void Method loosely follows Semantic Versioning, with a hard guarantee that breaking changes to the public API will always coincide with an increase to the MAJOR number.

Version numbers are in three parts: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH.

• Breaking changes to the public API increment the MAJOR. There may also be changes that would otherwise increase the MINOR or the PATCH.
• Additions, deprecations, and "big" non breaking changes to the public API increment the MINOR. There may also be changes that would otherwise increase the PATCH.
• Bug fixes and "small" non breaking changes to the public API increment the PATCH.

Notice that any feature deprecated by a minor release can be expected to be removed by the next major release.
