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
Use a guard clause instead of wrapping the code inside a conditional expression. Open

Use a guard clause instead of wrapping the code inside a conditional expression
Example:
# bad
def test
if something
work
end
end
# good
def test
return unless something
work
end
# also good
def test
work if something
end
# bad
if something
raise 'exception'
else
ok
end
# good
raise 'exception' if something
ok
Favor modifier if
usage when having a single-line body. Another good alternative is the usage of control flow &&
/||
. Open
if resource.persisted?
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
Checks for if and unless statements that would fit on one line
if written as a modifier if/unless. The maximum line length is
configured in the Metrics/LineLength
cop.
Example:
# bad
if condition
do_stuff(bar)
end
unless qux.empty?
Foo.do_something
end
# good
do_stuff(bar) if condition
Foo.do_something unless qux.empty?
Missing top-level class documentation comment. Open
class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
- 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
Use nested module/class definitions instead of compact style. Open
class Users::RegistrationsController < Devise::RegistrationsController
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop checks the style of children definitions at classes and modules. Basically there are two different styles:
Example: EnforcedStyle: nested (default)
# good
# have each child on its own line
class Foo
class Bar
end
end
Example: EnforcedStyle: compact
# good
# combine definitions as much as possible
class Foo::Bar
end
The compact style is only forced for classes/modules with one child.
