Use nested module/class definitions instead of compact style. Open
class Notifier::DailyReport
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
This cop checks the style of children definitions at classes and modules. Basically there are two different styles:
Safety:
Autocorrection is unsafe.
Moving from compact to nested children requires knowledge of whether the outer parent is a module or a class. Moving from nested to compact requires verification that the outer parent is defined elsewhere. Rubocop does not have the knowledge to perform either operation safely and thus requires manual oversight.
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.
Missing top-level documentation comment for class Notifier::DailyReport
. Open
class Notifier::DailyReport
- 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, constant definitions or constant visibility declarations.
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
module Math
end
# good
# Description/Explanation of Person class
class Person
# ...
end
# allowed
# Class without body
class Person
end
# Namespace - A namespace can be a class or a module
# Containing a class
module Namespace
# Description/Explanation of Person class
class Person
# ...
end
end
# Containing constant visibility declaration
module Namespace
class Private
end
private_constant :Private
end
# Containing constant definition
module Namespace
Public = Class.new
end
# Macro calls
module Namespace
extend Foo
end
Example: AllowedConstants: ['ClassMethods']
# good
module A
module ClassMethods
# ...
end
end
Put empty method definitions on a single line. Open
def initialize
end
- Read upRead up
- Exclude checks
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
