Classes and modules are the units of reuse and release. It is therefore considered good practice to annotate every class and module with a brief comment outlining its responsibilities.
Example
Given
class Dummy
# Do things...
end
Reek would emit the following warning:
test.rb -- 1 warning:
[1]:Dummy has no descriptive comment (IrresponsibleModule)
Fixing this is simple - just an explaining comment:
# The Dummy class is responsible for ...
class Dummy
# Do things...
end
Put empty method definitions on a single line. Open

This cop checks for the formatting of empty method definitions.
By default it enforces empty method definitions to go on a single
line (compact style), but it can be configured to enforce the end
to go on its own line (expanded style).
Note: A method definition is not considered empty if it contains comments.
Example: EnforcedStyle: compact (default)
# bad
def foo(bar)
end
def self.foo(bar)
end
# good
def foo(bar); end
def foo(bar)
# baz
end
def self.foo(bar); end
Example: EnforcedStyle: expanded
# bad
def foo(bar); end
def self.foo(bar); end
# good
def foo(bar)
end
def self.foo(bar)
end

Missing top-level class documentation comment. Open
class PagesController < ApplicationController
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop checks for missing top-level documentation of classes and modules. Classes with no body are exempt from the check and so are namespace modules - modules that have nothing in their bodies except classes, other modules, or constant definitions.
The documentation requirement is annulled if the class or module has a "#:nodoc:" comment next to it. Likewise, "#:nodoc: all" does the same for all its children.
Example:
# bad
class Person
# ...
end
# good
# Description/Explanation of Person class
class Person
# ...
end
