Siddharth is a Ruby on Rails and ReactJs Developer.
RuboCop is a static code analyzer also linter and code formatter for the Ruby programming language. It will enforce the guidelines outlined in the community Ruby Style Guide.
It helps developers in ensuring adherence to coding style standards, identifying potential code flaws, and enhancing the overall quality of the codebase. In addition to identifying code problems, RuboCop also automatically corrects those issues.
Developers can adjust rules defined by Rubocop to match project coding standards.
Before Rails 8.0
Before Rails 8 we had to manually integrate Rubocop gem to our project.
We can simply install it like below.
gem install rubocop
or we can add it to the gemfile of the project.
gem 'rubocop', require: false
The behavior of RuboCop can be controlled via the .rubocop.yml configuration file. We can create this file manually and we can put it in the root of our project folder.
Or we can run the below command that will automatically create the rubocop.yml
and rubocop.todo.yml
file.
It is a good idea to use the command below if our codebase has an overwhelming number of offenses.
rubocop --auto-gen-config
All the rules related to code formatting will be defined in the .rubocop.yml
file. The Basic structure of the file
will look like below.
inherit_from: ../.rubocop.yml
Style/Encoding:
Enabled: false
Layout/LineLength:
Max: 99
Now we can run bundle exec rubocop
to check the issues with our codebase and bundle exec rubocop -a
will automatically correct the offenses.
In Rails 8.0
Now Rails 8 comes with rubocop gem by default. It enforces rules from rubocop-rails-omakase by default.
The rubocop-rails-omakase is an extension of RuboCop specifically tailored for Ruby on Rails applications. It includes additional rules and configurations that are relevant and specific to Rails development
If we don’t want rubocop gem in our Rails application, we can skip it by passing --skip-rubocop
flag.
