A RuboCop extension focused on enforcing Rails best practices and coding conventions.
Note: This repository manages rubocop-rails gem (>= 2.0.0). rubocop-rails gem (<= 1.5.0) has been renamed to rubocop-rails_config gem.
Just install the rubocop-rails
gem
$ gem install rubocop-rails
or if you use bundler put this in your Gemfile
gem 'rubocop-rails', require: false
You need to tell RuboCop to load the Rails extension. There are three ways to do this:
Put this into your .rubocop.yml
.
require: rubocop-rails
Alternatively, use the following array notation when specifying multiple extensions.
require:
- rubocop-other-extension
- rubocop-rails
Now you can run rubocop
and it will automatically load the RuboCop Rails
cops together with the standard cops.
$ rubocop --require rubocop-rails
Note: --rails
option is required while rubocop
command supports --rails
option.
require 'rubocop/rake_task'
RuboCop::RakeTask.new do |task|
task.requires << 'rubocop-rails'
end
If you are using Rails 6.1 or newer, add the following config.generators.after_generate
setting to
your config/environments/development.rb
to apply RuboCop autocorrection to code generated by bin/rails g
.
# config/environments/development.rb
Rails.application.configure do
config.generators.after_generate do |files|
parsable_files = files.filter { |file| file.end_with?('.rb') }
unless parsable_files.empty?
system("bundle exec rubocop -A --fail-level=E #{parsable_files.shelljoin}", exception: true)
end
end
end
It uses rubocop -A
to apply Style/FrozenStringLiteralComment
and other unsafe autocorrection cops.
rubocop -A
is unsafe autocorrection, but code generated by default is simple and less likely to
be incompatible with rubocop -A
. If you have problems you can replace it with rubocop -a
instead.
All cops are located under
lib/rubocop/cop/rails
, and contain
examples/documentation.
In your .rubocop.yml
, you may treat the Rails cops just like any other
cop. For example:
Rails/FindBy:
Exclude:
- lib/example.rb
You can read a lot more about RuboCop Rails in its official docs.
Rails cops support the following versions:
- Rails 4.2+
