v 6.0.0
- Feature: Replace teams with group membership
We introduce group membership in 6.0 as a replacement for teams.
The old combination of groups and teams was confusing for a lot of people.
And when the members of a team where changed this wasn't reflected in the project permissions.
In GitLab 6.0 you will be able to add members to a group with a permission level for each member.
These group members will have access to the projects in that group.
Any changes to group members will immediately be reflected in the project permissions.
You can even have multiple owners for a group, greatly simplifying administration.

# GitLab Maintenance Policy
GitLab is a fast moving and evolving project. We currently don't have the
resources to support many releases concurrently. We support exactly one stable
release at any given time.
GitLab follows the [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/) for its releases:
`(Major).(Minor).(Patch)`.
* **Major version**: Whenever there is something significant or any backwards
incompatible changes are introduced to the public API.
* **Minor version**: When new, backwards compatible functionality is introduced
to the public API or a minor feature is introduced, or when a set of smaller
features is rolled out.
* **Patch number**: When backwards compatible bug fixes are introduced that fix
incorrect behavior.
The current stable release will receive security patches and bug fixes
(eg. `5.0` -> `5.0.1`). Feature releases will mark the next supported stable
release where the minor version is increased numerically by increments of one
(eg. `5.0 -> 5.1`).
We encourage everyone to run the latest stable release to ensure that you can easily upgrade to the most secure and feature rich GitLab experience. In order to make sure you can easily run the most recent stable release, we are working hard to keep the update process simple and reliable.
More information about the release procedures can be found in the doc/release directory.
# GitLab Contributing Process
## Purpose of describing the contributing process
Below we describe the contributing process to GitLab for two reasons. So that contributors know what to expect from maintainers (possible responses, friendly treatment, etc.). And so that maintainers know what to expect from contributors (use the latest version, ensure that the issue is addressed, friendly treatment, etc.).
## Common actions
### Issue team
- Looks for issues without workflow labels and triages issue
- Monitors merge requests
- Closes invalid issues and merge requests with a comment (duplicates, [feature requests](#feature-requests), [fixed in newer version](#issue-fixed-in-newer-version), [issue report for old version](#issue-report-for-old-version), not a problem in GitLab, etc.)
- Assigns appropriate [labels](#how-we-handle-issues)
- Asks for feedback from issue reporter/merge request initiator ([invalid issue reports](#improperly-formatted-issue), [format code](#code-format), etc.)
- Asks for feedback from the relevant developer(s) based on the [list of members and their specialities](http://gitlab.org/team/)
- Monitors all issues/merge requests for feedback (but especially ones commented on since automatically watching them):
- Closes issues with no feedback from the reporter for two weeks
- Closes stale merge requests
### Development team
- Responds to issues and merge requests the issue team mentions them in
- Monitors for new issues in _Awaiting developer action/feedback_ with no developer activity (once a week)
- Monitors for new merge requests (at least once a week)
- Manages their work queue by looking at issues and merge requests assigned to them
- Close fixed issues (via commit messages or manually)
- Codes [new features](http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/filters/top)!
- Response guidelines
- Be kind to people trying to contribute. Be aware that people can be a non-native or a native English speaker, they might not understand thing or they might be very sensitive to how your word things. Use emoji to express your feelings (heart, star, smile, etc.). Some good tips about giving feedback to merge requests is in the [Thoughtbot code review guide](https://github.com/thoughtbot/guides/tree/master/code-review).
## Priorities of the issue team
1. Mentioning people (critical)
2. Workflow labels (normal)
3. Functional labels (minor)
4. Assigning issues (avoid if possible)
## Mentioning people
The most important thing is making sure valid issues receive feedback from the development team. Therefore the priority is mentioning developers that can help on those issue. Please select someone with relevant experience from [GitLab core team](http://gitlab.org/team/). If there is nobody mentioned with that expertise look in the commit history for the affected files to find someone. Avoid mentioning the lead developer, this is the person that is least likely to give a timely response. If the involvement of the lead developer is needed the other core team members will mention this person.
## Workflow labels
Workflow labels are purposely not very detailed since that would be hard to keep updated as you would need to reevaluate them after every comment. We optionally use functional labels on demand when want to group related issues to get an overview (for example all issues related to RVM, to tackle them in one go) and to add details to the issue.
- _Awaiting feedback_: Feedback pending from the reporter
- _Awaiting confirmation of fix_: The issue should already be solved in **master** (generally you can avoid this workflow item and just close the issue right away)
- _Attached MR_: There is a MR attached and the discussion should happen there
- We need to let issues stay in sync with the MR's. We can do this with a "Closing #XXXX" or "Fixes #XXXX" comment in the MR. We can't close the issue when there is a merge request because sometimes a MR is not good and we just close the MR, then the issue must stay.
- _Awaiting developer action/feedback_: Issue needs to be fixed or clarified by a developer
## Functional labels
These labels describe what development specialities are involved such as: PostgreSQL, UX, LDAP.
## Assigning issues
If an issue is complex and needs the attention of a specific person, assignment is a good option but assigning issues might discourage other people from contributing to that issue. We need all the contributions we can get so this should never be discouraged. Also, an assigned person might not have time for a few weeks, so others should feel free to takeover.
## Label colors
- Light orange `#fef2c0`: workflow labels for issue team members (awaiting feedback, awaiting confirmation of fix)
- Bright orange `#eb6420`: workflow labels for core team members (attached MR, awaiting developer action/feedback)
- Light blue `#82C5FF`: functional labels
- Green labels `#009800`: issues that can generally be ignored. For example, issues given the following labels normally can be closed immediately:
- Feature request (see copy & paste response: [Feature requests](#feature-requests))
- Support (see copy & paste response: [Support requests and configuration questions](#support-requests-and-configuration-questions)
## Copy & paste responses

# Prelude
> Role models are important. <br/>
> -- Officer Alex J. Murphy / RoboCop
One thing has always bothered me as a Ruby developer - Python developers
have a great programming style reference
([PEP-8](http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/)) and we never got
an official guide, documenting Ruby coding style and best
practices. And I do believe that style matters. I also believe that a
great hacker community, such as Ruby has, should be quite capable of
producing this coveted document.
This guide started its life as our internal company Ruby coding guidelines
(written by yours truly). At some point I decided that the work I was
doing might be interesting to members of the Ruby community in general
and that the world had little need for another internal company
guideline. But the world could certainly benefit from a
community-driven and community-sanctioned set of practices, idioms and
style prescriptions for Ruby programming.
Since the inception of the guide I've received a lot of feedback from
members of the exceptional Ruby community around the world. Thanks for
all the suggestions and the support! Together we can make a resource
beneficial to each and every Ruby developer out there.
By the way, if you're into Rails you might want to check out the
complementary
[Ruby on Rails 3 & 4 Style Guide](https://github.com/bbatsov/rails-style-guide).
# The Ruby Style Guide
This Ruby style guide recommends best practices so that real-world Ruby
programmers can write code that can be maintained by other real-world Ruby
programmers. A style guide that reflects real-world usage gets used, and a
style guide that holds to an ideal that has been rejected by the people it is
supposed to help risks not getting used at all &ndash; no matter how good it is.
The guide is separated into several sections of related rules. I've
tried to add the rationale behind the rules (if it's omitted I've
assumed it's pretty obvious).
I didn't come up with all the rules out of nowhere - they are mostly
based on my extensive career as a professional software engineer,
feedback and suggestions from members of the Ruby community and
various highly regarded Ruby programming resources, such as
["Programming Ruby 1.9"](http://pragprog.com/book/ruby4/programming-ruby-1-9-2-0)
and ["The Ruby Programming Language"](http://www.amazon.com/Ruby-Programming-Language-David-Flanagan/dp/0596516177).
There are some areas in which there is no clear consensus in the
Ruby community regarding a particular style (like string literal quoting,
spacing inside hash literals, dot position in multi-line method
chaining, etc.). In such scenarios all popular styles are acknowledged
and it's up to you to pick one and apply it consistently.
The guide is still a work in progress - some rules are lacking
examples, some rules don't have examples that illustrate them clearly
enough. In due time these issues will be addressed - just keep them in
mind for now.
You can generate a PDF or an HTML copy of this guide using
[Transmuter](https://github.com/TechnoGate/transmuter).
[RuboCop](https://github.com/bbatsov/rubocop) is a code analyzer,
based on this style guide.

## Source Code Layout
> Nearly everybody is convinced that every style but their own is
> ugly and unreadable. Leave out the "but their own" and they're
> probably right... <br/>
> -- Jerry Coffin (on indentation)
* Use `UTF-8` as the source file encoding.
* Use two **spaces** per indentation level (aka soft tabs). No hard tabs.
```Ruby
# bad - four spaces
def some_method
do_something
end
# good
def some_method
do_something
end
```
* Use Unix-style line endings. (*BSD/Solaris/Linux/OS X users are covered by default,
Windows users have to be extra careful.)
* If you're using Git you might want to add the following
configuration setting to protect your project from Windows line
endings creeping in:
```bash
$ git config --global core.autocrlf true
```
* Don't use `;` to separate statements and expressions. As a
corollary - use one expression per line.
```Ruby
# bad
puts 'foobar'; # superfluous semicolon
puts 'foo'; puts 'bar' # two expression on the same line
# good
puts 'foobar'
puts 'foo'
puts 'bar'
puts 'foo', 'bar' # this applies to puts in particular
```
* Prefer a single-line format for class definitions with no body.
```Ruby
# bad
class FooError < StandardError
end
# okish
class FooError < StandardError; end
# good
FooError = Class.new(StandardError)
```
* Avoid single-line methods. Although they are somewhat popular in the
wild, there are a few peculiarities about their definition syntax
that make their use undesirable. At any rate - there should be no more
than one expression in a single-line method.
```Ruby
# bad
def too_much; something; something_else; end
# okish - notice that the first ; is required
def no_braces_method; body end
# okish - notice that the second ; is optional
def no_braces_method; body; end
# okish - valid syntax, but no ; make it kind of hard to read
def some_method() body end
# good
def some_method
body
end
```
One exception to the rule are empty-body methods.
```Ruby
# good
def no_op; end
```
* Use spaces around operators, after commas, colons and semicolons, around `{`
and before `}`. Whitespace might be (mostly) irrelevant to the Ruby
interpreter, but its proper use is the key to writing easily
readable code.
```Ruby
sum = 1 + 2
a, b = 1, 2
1 > 2 ? true : false; puts 'Hi'
[1, 2, 3].each { |e| puts e }
```
The only exception, regarding operators, is the exponent operator:
```Ruby
# bad
e = M * c ** 2
# good
e = M * c**2
```
`{` and `}` deserve a bit of clarification, since they are used
for block and hash literals, as well as embedded expressions in
strings. For hash literals two styles are considered acceptable.
```Ruby
# good - space after { and before }
{ one: 1, two: 2 }
# good - no space after { and before }
{one: 1, two: 2}
```
The first variant is slightly more readable (and arguably more
popular in the Ruby community in general). The second variant has
the advantage of adding visual difference between block and hash
literals. Whichever one you pick - apply it consistently.
As far as embedded expressions go, there are also two acceptable
options:
```Ruby
# good - no spaces
"string#{expr}"
# ok - arguably more readable
"string#{ expr }"
```
The first style is extremely more popular and you're generally
advised to stick with it. The second, on the other hand, is
(arguably) a bit more readable. As with hashes - pick one style
and apply it consistently.
* No spaces after `(`, `[` or before `]`, `)`.
```Ruby
some(arg).other
[1, 2, 3].size
```
* No space after `!`.
```Ruby
# bad
! something
# good
!something
```
* Indent `when` as deep as `case`. I know that many would disagree
with this one, but it's the style established in both "The Ruby
Programming Language" and "Programming Ruby".
```Ruby
# bad
case
when song.name == 'Misty'
puts 'Not again!'
when song.duration > 120
puts 'Too long!'
when Time.now.hour > 21
puts "It's too late"
else
song.play
end
# good
case
when song.name == 'Misty'
puts 'Not again!'
when song.duration > 120
puts 'Too long!'
when Time.now.hour > 21
puts "It's too late"
else
song.play
end
```
* When assigning the result of a conditional expression to a variable, preserve the usual alignment of its branches.
```Ruby
# bad - pretty convoluted
kind = case year
when 1850..1889 then 'Blues'
when 1890..1909 then 'Ragtime'
when 1910..1929 then 'New Orleans Jazz'
when 1930..1939 then 'Swing'
when 1940..1950 then 'Bebop'
else 'Jazz'
end
result = if some_cond
calc_something
else
calc_something_else
end
# good - it's apparent what's going on
kind = case year
when 1850..1889 then 'Blues'
when 1890..1909 then 'Ragtime'
when 1910..1929 then 'New Orleans Jazz'
when 1930..1939 then 'Swing'
when 1940..1950 then 'Bebop'
else 'Jazz'
end
result = if some_cond
calc_something
else
calc_something_else
end
# good (and a bit more width efficient)
kind =
case year
when 1850..1889 then 'Blues'
when 1890..1909 then 'Ragtime'
when 1910..1929 then 'New Orleans Jazz'
when 1930..1939 then 'Swing'
when 1940..1950 then 'Bebop'
else 'Jazz'
end
result =
if some_cond
calc_something
else
calc_something_else
end
```
* Use empty lines between method definitions and also to break up a method into logical
paragraphs internally.
```Ruby
def some_method
data = initialize(options)
data.manipulate!
data.result
end
def some_method
result
end
```
* Avoid comma after the last parameter in a method call, especially when the
parameters are not on separate lines.
```Ruby
# bad - easier to move/add/remove parameters, but still not preferred
some_method(
size,
count,
color,
)
# bad
some_method(size, count, color, )
# good
some_method(size, count, color)
```
* Use spaces around the `=` operator when assigning default values to method parameters:
```Ruby
# bad
def some_method(arg1=:default, arg2=nil, arg3=[])
# do something...
end
# good
def some_method(arg1 = :default, arg2 = nil, arg3 = [])
# do something...
end
```
While several Ruby books suggest the first style, the second is much more prominent
in practice (and arguably a bit more readable).
* Avoid line continuation `\` where not required. In practice, avoid using
line continuations for anything but string concatenation.
```Ruby
# bad
result = 1 - \
2
# good (but still ugly as hell)
result = 1 \
- 2
long_string = 'First part of the long string' \
' and second part of the long string'
```
* Adopt a consistent multi-line method chaining style. There are two
popular styles in the Ruby community, both of which are considered
good - leading `.` (Option A) and trailing `.` (Option B).
* **(Option A)** When continuing a chained method invocation on
another line keep the `.` on the second line.
```Ruby
# bad - need to consult first line to understand second line
one.two.three.
four
# good - it's immediately clear what's going on the second line
one.two.three
.four
```
* **(Option B)** When continuing a chained method invocation on another line,
include the `.` on the first line to indicate that the
expression continues.
```Ruby
# bad - need to read ahead to the second line to know that the chain continues
one.two.three
.four
# good - it's immediately clear that the expression continues beyond the first line
one.two.three.
four
```
A discussion on the merits of both alternative styles can be found
[here](https://github.com/bbatsov/ruby-style-guide/pull/176).
* Align the parameters of a method call if they span more than one
line. When aligning parameters is not appropriate due to line-length
constraints, single indent for the lines after the first is also
acceptable.
```Ruby
# starting point (line is too long)
def send_mail(source)
Mailer.deliver(to: 'bob@example.com', from: 'us@example.com', subject: 'Important message', body: source.text)
end
# bad (double indent)
def send_mail(source)
Mailer.deliver(
to: 'bob@example.com',
from: 'us@example.com',
subject: 'Important message',
body: source.text)
end
# good
def send_mail(source)
Mailer.deliver(to: 'bob@example.com',
from: 'us@example.com',
subject: 'Important message',
body: source.text)
end
# good (normal indent)
def send_mail(source)
Mailer.deliver(
to: 'bob@example.com',
from: 'us@example.com',
subject: 'Important message',
body: source.text
)
end
```
* Align the elements of array literals spanning multiple lines.
```Ruby
# bad - single indent
menu_item = ['Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam',
'Baked beans', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam']
# good
menu_item = [
'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam',
'Baked beans', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam'
]
# good
menu_item =
['Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam',
'Baked beans', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam', 'Spam']
```
* Add underscores to large numeric literals to improve their readability.
```Ruby
# bad - how many 0s are there?
num = 1000000
# good - much easier to parse for the human brain
num = 1_000_000
```
* Use RDoc and its conventions for API documentation. Don't put an
empty line between the comment block and the `def`.
* Limit lines to 80 characters.
* Avoid trailing whitespace.
* End each file with a newline.
* Don't use block comments. They cannot be preceded by whitespace and are not
as easy to spot as regular comments.
```Ruby
# bad
== begin
comment line
another comment line
== end
# good
# comment line
# another comment line
```
## Syntax
* Use `::` only to reference constants(this includes classes and
modules) and constructors (like `Array()` or `Nokogiri::HTML()`).
Never use `::` for regular method invocation.
```Ruby
# bad
SomeClass::some_method
some_object::some_method
# good
SomeClass.some_method
some_object.some_method
SomeModule::SomeClass::SOME_CONST
SomeModule::SomeClass()
```
* Use `def` with parentheses when there are arguments. Omit the
parentheses when the method doesn't accept any arguments.
```Ruby
# bad
def some_method()
# body omitted
end
# good
def some_method
# body omitted
end
# bad
def some_method_with_arguments arg1, arg2
# body omitted
end
# good
def some_method_with_arguments(arg1, arg2)
# body omitted
end
```
* Never use `for`, unless you know exactly why. Most of the time iterators
should be used instead. `for` is implemented in terms of `each` (so
you're adding a level of indirection), but with a twist - `for`
doesn't introduce a new scope (unlike `each`) and variables defined
in its block will be visible outside it.
```Ruby
arr = [1, 2, 3]
# bad
for elem in arr do
puts elem
end
# note that elem is accessible outside of the for loop
elem #=> 3
# good
arr.each { |elem| puts elem }
# elem is not accessible outside each's block
elem #=> NameError: undefined local variable or method `elem'
```
* Never use `then` for multi-line `if/unless`.
```Ruby
# bad
if some_condition then
# body omitted
end
# good
if some_condition
# body omitted
end
```
* Always put the condition on the same line as the `if`/`unless` in a multi-line conditional.
```Ruby
# bad
if
some_condition
do_something
do_something_else
end
# good
if some_condition
do_something
do_something_else
end
```
* Favor the ternary operator(`?:`) over `if/then/else/end` constructs.
It's more common and obviously more concise.
```Ruby
# bad
result = if some_condition then something else something_else end
# good
result = some_condition ? something : something_else
```
* Use one expression per branch in a ternary operator. This
also means that ternary operators must not be nested. Prefer
`if/else` constructs in these cases.
```Ruby
# bad
some_condition ? (nested_condition ? nested_something : nested_something_else) : something_else
# good
if some_condition
nested_condition ? nested_something : nested_something_else
else
something_else
end
```
* Never use `if x: ...` - as of Ruby 1.9 it has been removed. Use
the ternary operator instead.
```Ruby
# bad
result = if some_condition: something else something_else end
# good
result = some_condition ? something : something_else
```
* Never use `if x; ...`. Use the ternary operator instead.
* Leverage the fact that `if` and `case` are expressions which return a result.
```Ruby
# bad
if condition
result = x
else
result = y
end
# good
result =
if condition
x
else
y
end
```
* Use `when x then ...` for one-line cases. The alternative syntax
`when x: ...` has been removed as of Ruby 1.9.
* Never use `when x; ...`. See the previous rule.
* Use `!` instead of `not`.
```Ruby
# bad - braces are required because of op precedence
x = (not something)
# good
x = !something
```
* Avoid the use of `!!`.
```Ruby
# bad
x = 'test'
# obscure nil check
if !!x
# body omitted
end
x = false
# double negation is useless on booleans
!!x # => false
# good
x = 'test'
unless x.nil?
# body omitted
end
```
* The `and` and `or` keywords are banned. It's just not worth
it. Always use `&&` and `||` instead.
```Ruby
# bad
# boolean expression
if some_condition and some_other_condition
do_something
end
# control flow
document.saved? or document.save!
# good
# boolean expression
if some_condition && some_other_condition
do_something
end
# control flow
document.saved? || document.save!
```
* Avoid multi-line `?:` (the ternary operator); use `if/unless` instead.
* Favor modifier `if/unless` usage when you have a single-line
body. Another good alternative is the usage of control flow `&&/||`.
```Ruby
# bad
if some_condition
do_something
end
# good
do_something if some_condition
# another good option
some_condition && do_something
```
* Favor `unless` over `if` for negative conditions (or control
flow `||`).
```Ruby
# bad
do_something if !some_condition
# bad
do_something if not some_condition
# good
do_something unless some_condition
# another good option
some_condition || do_something
```
* Never use `unless` with `else`. Rewrite these with the positive case first.
```Ruby
# bad
unless success?
puts 'failure'
else
puts 'success'
end
# good
if success?
puts 'success'
else
puts 'failure'
end
```
* Don't use parentheses around the condition of an `if/unless/while/until`.
```Ruby
# bad
if (x > 10)
# body omitted
end
# good
if x > 10
# body omitted
end
```
* Never use `while/until condition do` for multi-line `while/until`.
```Ruby
# bad
while x > 5 do
# body omitted
end
until x > 5 do
# body omitted
end
# good
while x > 5
# body omitted
end
until x > 5
# body omitted
end
```
* Favor modifier `while/until` usage when you have a single-line
body.
```Ruby
# bad
while some_condition
do_something
end
# good
do_something while some_condition
```
* Favor `until` over `while` for negative conditions.
```Ruby
# bad
do_something while !some_condition
# good
do_something until some_condition
```
* Use `Kernel#loop` with break rather than `begin/end/until` or `begin/end/while` for post-loop tests.
```Ruby
# bad
begin
puts val
val += 1
end while val < 0
# good
loop do
puts val
val += 1
break unless val < 0
end
```
* Omit parentheses around parameters for methods that are part of an
internal DSL (e.g. Rake, Rails, RSpec), methods that have
"keyword" status in Ruby (e.g. `attr_reader`, `puts`) and attribute
access methods. Use parentheses around the arguments of all other
method invocations.
```Ruby
class Person
attr_reader :name, :age
# omitted
end
temperance = Person.new('Temperance', 30)
temperance.name
puts temperance.age
x = Math.sin(y)
array.delete(e)
bowling.score.should == 0
```
* Omit the outer braces around an implicit options hash.
```Ruby
# bad
user.set({ name: 'John', age: 45, permissions: { read: true } })
# good
user.set(name: 'John', age: 45, permissions: { read: true })
```
* Omit both the outer braces and parentheses for methods that are
part of an internal DSL.
```Ruby
class Person < ActiveRecord::Base
# bad
validates(:name, { presence: true, length: { within: 1..10 } })
# good
validates :name, presence: true, length: { within: 1..10 }
end
```
* Omit parentheses for method calls with no arguments.
```Ruby
# bad
Kernel.exit!()
2.even?()
fork()
'test'.upcase()
# good
Kernel.exit!
2.even?
fork
'test'.upcase
```
* Prefer `{...}` over `do...end` for single-line blocks. Avoid using
`{...}` for multi-line blocks (multiline chaining is always
ugly). Always use `do...end` for "control flow" and "method
definitions" (e.g. in Rakefiles and certain DSLs). Avoid `do...end`
when chaining.
```Ruby
names = ['Bozhidar', 'Steve', 'Sarah']
# bad
names.each do |name|
puts name
end
# good
names.each { |name| puts name }
# bad
names.select do |name|
name.start_with?('S')
end.map { |name| name.upcase }
# good
names.select { |name| name.start_with?('S') }.map { |name| name.upcase }
```
Some will argue that multiline chaining would look OK with the use of {...}, but they should
ask themselves - is this code really readable and can the blocks' contents be extracted into
nifty methods?
* Consider using explicit block argument to avoid writing block
literal that just passes its arguments to another block. Beware of
the performance impact, though, as the block gets converted to a
Proc.
```Ruby
require 'tempfile'
# bad
def with_tmp_dir
Dir.mktmpdir do |tmp_dir|
Dir.chdir(tmp_dir) { |dir| yield dir } # block just passes arguments
end
end
# good
def with_tmp_dir(&block)
Dir.mktmpdir do |tmp_dir|
Dir.chdir(tmp_dir, &block)
end
end
with_tmp_dir do |dir|
puts "dir is accessible as parameter and pwd is set: #{dir}"
end
```
* Avoid `return` where not required for flow of control.
```Ruby
# bad
def some_method(some_arr)
return some_arr.size
end
# good
def some_method(some_arr)
some_arr.size
end
```
* Avoid `self` where not required. (It is only required when calling a self write accessor.)
```Ruby
# bad
def ready?
if self.last_reviewed_at > self.last_updated_at
self.worker.update(self.content, self.options)
self.status = :in_progress
end
self.status == :verified
end
# good
def ready?
if last_reviewed_at > last_updated_at
worker.update(content, options)
self.status = :in_progress
end
status == :verified
end
```
* As a corollary, avoid shadowing methods with local variables unless they are both equivalent.
```Ruby
class Foo
attr_accessor :options
# ok
def initialize(options)
self.options = options
# both options and self.options are equivalent here
end
# bad
def do_something(options = {})
unless options[:when] == :later
output(self.options[:message])
end
end
# good
def do_something(params = {})
unless params[:when] == :later
output(options[:message])
end
end
end
```
* Don't use the return value of `=` (an assignment) in conditional
expressions unless the assignment is wrapped in parentheses. This is
a fairly popular idiom among Rubyists that's sometimes referred to as
*safe assignment in condition*.
```Ruby
# bad (+ a warning)
if v = array.grep(/foo/)
do_something(v)
...
end
# good (MRI would still complain, but RuboCop won't)
if (v = array.grep(/foo/))
do_something(v)
...
end
# good
v = array.grep(/foo/)
if v
do_something(v)
...
end
```
* Use shorthand self assignment operators whenever applicable.
```Ruby
# bad
x = x + y
x = x * y
x = x**y
x = x / y
x = x || y
x = x && y
# good
x += y
x *= y
x **= y
x /= y
x ||= y
x &&= y
```
* Use `||=` to initialize variables only if they're not already initialized.
```Ruby
# bad
name = name ? name : 'Bozhidar'
# bad
name = 'Bozhidar' unless name
# good - set name to Bozhidar, only if it's nil or false
name ||= 'Bozhidar'
```
* Don't use `||=` to initialize boolean variables. (Consider what
would happen if the current value happened to be `false`.)
```Ruby
# bad - would set enabled to true even if it was false
enabled ||= true
# good
enabled = true if enabled.nil?
```
* Use `&&=` to preprocess variables that may or may not exist. Using
`&&=` will change the value only if it exists, removing the need to
check its existence with `if`.
```Ruby
# bad
if something
something = something.downcase
end
# bad
something = something ? nil : something.downcase
# ok
something = something.downcase if something
# good
something = something && something.downcase
# better
something &&= something.downcase
```
* Avoid explicit use of the case equality operator `===`. As its name
implies it is meant to be used implicitly by `case` expressions and
outside of them it yields some pretty confusing code.
```Ruby
# bad
Array === something
(1..100) === 7
/something/ === some_string
# good
something.is_a?(Array)
(1..100).include?(7)
some_string =~ /something/
```
* Avoid using Perl-style special variables (like `$:`, `$;`,
etc. ). They are quite cryptic and their use in anything but
one-liner scripts is discouraged. Use the human-friendly
aliases provided by the `English` library.
```Ruby
# bad
$:.unshift File.dirname(__FILE__)
# good
require 'English'
$LOAD_PATH.unshift File.dirname(__FILE__)
```
* Never put a space between a method name and the opening parenthesis.
```Ruby
# bad
f (3 + 2) + 1
# good
f(3 + 2) + 1
```
* If the first argument to a method begins with an open parenthesis,
always use parentheses in the method invocation. For example, write
`f((3 + 2) + 1)`.
* Always run the Ruby interpreter with the `-w` option so it will warn
you if you forget either of the rules above!
* Use the new lambda literal syntax for single line body blocks. Use the
`lambda` method for multi-line blocks.
```Ruby
# bad
l = lambda { |a, b| a + b }
l.call(1, 2)
# correct, but looks extremely awkward
l = ->(a, b) do
tmp = a * 7
tmp * b / 50
end
# good
l = ->(a, b) { a + b }
l.call(1, 2)
l = lambda do |a, b|
tmp = a * 7
tmp * b / 50
end
```
* Prefer `proc` over `Proc.new`.
```Ruby
# bad
p = Proc.new { |n| puts n }
# good
p = proc { |n| puts n }
```
* Prefer `proc.call()` over `proc[]` or `proc.()` for both lambdas and procs.
```Ruby
# bad - looks similar to Enumeration access
l = ->(v) { puts v }
l[1]
# also bad - uncommon syntax
l = ->(v) { puts v }
l.(1)
# good
l = ->(v) { puts v }
l.call(1)
```
* Prefix with `_` unused block parameters and local variables. It's
also acceptable to use just `_` (although it's a bit less
descriptive). This convention is recognized by the Ruby interpreter
and tools like RuboCop and will suppress their unused variable warnings.
```Ruby
# bad
result = hash.map { |k, v| v + 1 }
def something(x)
unused_var, used_var = something_else(x)
# ...
end
# good
result = hash.map { |_k, v| v + 1 }
def something(x)
_unused_var, used_var = something_else(x)
# ...
end
# good
result = hash.map { |_, v| v + 1 }
def something(x)
_, used_var = something_else(x)
# ...
end
```
* Use `$stdout/$stderr/$stdin` instead of
`STDOUT/STDERR/STDIN`. `STDOUT/STDERR/STDIN` are constants, and
while you can actually reassign (possibly to redirect some stream)
constants in Ruby, you'll get an interpreter warning if you do so.
* Use `warn` instead of `$stderr.puts`. Apart from being more concise
and clear, `warn` allows you to suppress warnings if you need to (by
setting the warn level to 0 via `-W0`).
* Favor the use of `sprintf` and its alias `format` over the fairly
cryptic `String#%` method.
```Ruby
# bad
'%d %d' % [20, 10]
# => '20 10'
# good
sprintf('%d %d', 20, 10)
# => '20 10'
# good
sprintf('%{first} %{second}', first: 20, second: 10)
# => '20 10'
format('%d %d', 20, 10)
# => '20 10'
# good
format('%{first} %{second}', first: 20, second: 10)
# => '20 10'
```
* Favor the use of `Array#join` over the fairly cryptic `Array#*` with
a string argument.
```Ruby
# bad
%w(one two three) * ', '
# => 'one, two, three'
# good
%w(one two three).join(', ')
# => 'one, two, three'
```
* Use `[*var]` or `Array()` instead of explicit `Array` check, when dealing with a
variable you want to treat as an Array, but you're not certain it's
an array.
```Ruby
# bad
paths = [paths] unless paths.is_a? Array
paths.each { |path| do_something(path) }
# good
[*paths].each { |path| do_something(path) }
# good (and a bit more readable)
Array(paths).each { |path| do_something(path) }
```
* Use ranges or `Comparable#between?` instead of complex comparison logic when possible.
```Ruby
# bad
do_something if x >= 1000 && x <= 2000
# good
do_something if (1000..2000).include?(x)
# good
do_something if x.between?(1000, 2000)
```
* Favor the use of predicate methods to explicit comparisons with
`==`. Numeric comparisons are OK.
```Ruby
# bad
if x % 2 == 0
end
if x % 2 == 1
end
if x == nil
end
# good
if x.even?
end
if x.odd?
end
if x.nil?
end
if x.zero?
end
if x == 0
end
```
* Avoid the use of `BEGIN` blocks.
* Never use `END` blocks. Use `Kernel#at_exit` instead.
```ruby
# bad
END { puts 'Goodbye!' }
# good
at_exit { puts 'Goodbye!' }
```
* Avoid the use of flip-flops.
* Avoid use of nested conditionals for flow of control.
Prefer a guard clause when you can assert invalid data. A guard clause is a conditional
statement at the top of a function that bails out as soon as it can.
```Ruby
# bad
def compute_thing(thing)
if thing[:foo]
update_with_bar(thing)
if thing[:foo][:bar]
partial_compute(thing)
else
re_compute(thing)
end
end
end
# good
def compute_thing(thing)
return unless thing[:foo]
update_with_bar(thing[:foo])
return re_compute(thing) unless thing[:foo][:bar]
partial_compute(thing)
end
```
## Naming
> The only real difficulties in programming are cache invalidation and
> naming things. <br/>
> -- Phil Karlton
* Name identifiers in English.
```Ruby
# bad - identifier using non-ascii characters
заплата = 1_000
# bad - identifier is a Bulgarian word, written with Latin letters (instead of Cyrillic)
zaplata = 1_000
# good
salary = 1_000
```
* Use `snake_case` for symbols, methods and variables.
```Ruby
# bad
:'some symbol'
:SomeSymbol
:someSymbol
someVar = 5
def someMethod
...
end
def SomeMethod
...
end
# good
:some_symbol
def some_method
...
end
```
* Use `CamelCase` for classes and modules. (Keep acronyms like HTTP,
RFC, XML uppercase.)
```Ruby
# bad
class Someclass
...
end
class Some_Class
...
end
class SomeXml
...
end
# good
class SomeClass
...
end
class SomeXML
...
end
```
* Use `snake_case` for naming files, e.g. `hello_world.rb`.
* Aim to have just a single class/module per source file. Name the file name as the class/module, but replacing CamelCase with snake_case.
* Use `SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE` for other constants.
```Ruby
# bad
SomeConst = 5
# good
SOME_CONST = 5
```
* The names of predicate methods (methods that return a boolean value)
should end in a question mark.
(i.e. `Array#empty?`). Methods that don't return a boolean, shouldn't
end in a question mark.
* The names of potentially *dangerous* methods (i.e. methods that
modify `self` or the arguments, `exit!` (doesn't run the finalizers
like `exit` does), etc.) should end with an exclamation mark if
there exists a safe version of that *dangerous* method.
```Ruby
# bad - there is not matching 'safe' method
class Person
def update!
end
end
# good
class Person
def update
end
end
# good
class Person
def update!
end
def update
end
end
```
* Define the non-bang (safe) method in terms of the bang (dangerous)
one if possible.
```Ruby
class Array
def flatten_once!
res = []
each do |e|
[*e].each { |f| res << f }
end
replace(res)
end
def flatten_once
dup.flatten_once!
end
end
```
* When using `reduce` with short blocks, name the arguments `|a, e|`
(accumulator, element).
* When defining binary operators, name the argument `other`(`<<` and
`[]` are exceptions to the rule, since their semantics are different).
```Ruby
def +(other)
# body omitted
end
```
* Prefer `map` over `collect`, `find` over `detect`, `select` over
`find_all`, `reduce` over `inject` and `size` over `length`. This is
not a hard requirement; if the use of the alias enhances
readability, it's ok to use it. The rhyming methods are inherited from
Smalltalk and are not common in other programming languages. The
reason the use of `select` is encouraged over `find_all` is that it
goes together nicely with `reject` and its name is pretty self-explanatory.
* Don't use `count` as a substitute for `size`. For `Enumerable`
objects other than `Array` it will iterate the entire collection in
order to determine its size.
```Ruby
# bad
some_hash.count
# good
some_hash.size
```
* Use `flat_map` instead of `map` + `flatten`.
This does not apply for arrays with a depth greater than 2, i.e.
if `users.first.songs == ['a', ['b','c']]`, then use `map + flatten` rather than `flat_map`.
`flat_map` flattens the array by 1, whereas `flatten` flattens it all the way.
```Ruby
# bad
all_songs = users.map(&:songs).flatten.uniq
# good
all_songs = users.flat_map(&:songs).uniq
```
* Use `reverse_each` instead of `reverse.each`. `reverse_each` doesn't
do a new array allocation and that's a good thing.
```Ruby
# bad
array.reverse.each { ... }
# good
array.reverse_each { ... }
```
## Comments
> Good code is its own best documentation. As you're about to add a
> comment, ask yourself, "How can I improve the code so that this
> comment isn't needed?" Improve the code and then document it to make
> it even clearer. <br/>
> -- Steve McConnell
* Write self-documenting code and ignore the rest of this section. Seriously!
* Write comments in English.
* Use one space between the leading `#` character of the comment and the text
of the comment.
* Comments longer than a word are capitalized and use punctuation. Use [one
space](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentence_spacing) after periods.
* Avoid superfluous comments.
```Ruby
# bad
counter += 1 # Increments counter by one.
```
* Keep existing comments up-to-date. An outdated comment is worse than no comment
at all.
> Good code is like a good joke - it needs no explanation. <br/>
> -- Russ Olsen
* Avoid writing comments to explain bad code. Refactor the code to
make it self-explanatory. (Do or do not - there is no try. --Yoda)
### Comment Annotations
* Annotations should usually be written on the line immediately above
the relevant code.
* The annotation keyword is followed by a colon and a space, then a note
describing the problem.
* If multiple lines are required to describe the problem, subsequent
lines should be indented two spaces after the `#`.
```Ruby
def bar
# FIXME: This has crashed occasionally since v3.2.1. It may
# be related to the BarBazUtil upgrade.
baz(:quux)
end
```
* In cases where the problem is so obvious that any documentation would
be redundant, annotations may be left at the end of the offending line
with no note. This usage should be the exception and not the rule.
```Ruby
def bar
sleep 100 # OPTIMIZE
end
```
* Use `TODO` to note missing features or functionality that should be
added at a later date.
* Use `FIXME` to note broken code that needs to be fixed.
* Use `OPTIMIZE` to note slow or inefficient code that may cause
performance problems.
* Use `HACK` to note code smells where questionable coding practices
were used and should be refactored away.
* Use `REVIEW` to note anything that should be looked at to confirm it
is working as intended. For example: `REVIEW: Are we sure this is how the
client does X currently?`
* Use other custom annotation keywords if it feels appropriate, but be
sure to document them in your project's `README` or similar.
## Classes & Modules
* Use a consistent structure in your class definitions.
```Ruby
class Person
# extend and include go first
extend SomeModule
include AnotherModule
# inner classes
CustomErrorKlass = Class.new(StandardError)
# constants are next
SOME_CONSTANT = 20
# afterwards we have attribute macros
attr_reader :name
# followed by other macros (if any)
validates :name
# public class methods are next in line
def self.some_method
end
# followed by public instance methods
def some_method
end
# protected and private methods are grouped near the end
protected
def some_protected_method
end
private
def some_private_method
end
end
```
* Don't nest multi line classes within classes. Try to have such nested
classes each in their own file in a folder named like the containing class.
```Ruby
# bad
# foo.rb
class Foo
class Bar
# 30 methods inside
end
class Car
# 20 methods inside
end
# 30 methods inside
end
# good
# foo.rb
class Foo
# 30 methods inside
end
# foo/bar.rb
class Foo
class Bar
# 30 methods inside
end
end
# foo/car.rb
class Foo
class Car
# 20 methods inside
end
end
```
* Prefer modules to classes with only class methods. Classes should be
used only when it makes sense to create instances out of them.
```Ruby
# bad
class SomeClass
def self.some_method
# body omitted
end
def self.some_other_method
end
end
# good
module SomeClass
module_function
def some_method
# body omitted
end
def some_other_method
end
end
```
* Favor the use of `module_function` over `extend self` when you want
to turn a module's instance methods into class methods.
```Ruby
# bad
module Utilities
extend self
def parse_something(string)
# do stuff here
end
def other_utility_method(number, string)
# do some more stuff
end
end
# good
module Utilities
module_function
def parse_something(string)
# do stuff here
end
def other_utility_method(number, string)
# do some more stuff
end
end
```
* When designing class hierarchies make sure that they conform to the
[Liskov Substitution Principle](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liskov_substitution_principle).
* Try to make your classes as
[SOLID](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOLID_\(object-oriented_design\))
as possible.
* Always supply a proper `to_s` method for classes that represent
domain objects.
```Ruby
class Person
attr_reader :first_name, :last_name
def initialize(first_name, last_name)
@first_name = first_name
@last_name = last_name
end
def to_s
"#{@first_name} #{@last_name}"
end
end
```
* Use the `attr` family of functions to define trivial accessors or
mutators.
```Ruby
# bad
class Person
def initialize(first_name, last_name)
@first_name = first_name
@last_name = last_name
end
def first_name
@first_name
end
def last_name
@last_name
end
end
# good
class Person
attr_reader :first_name, :last_name
def initialize(first_name, last_name)
@first_name = first_name
@last_name = last_name
end
end
```
* Avoid the use of `attr`. Use `attr_reader` and `attr_accessor` instead.
```Ruby
# bad - creates a single attribute accessor (deprecated in 1.9)
attr :something, true
attr :one, :two, :three # behaves as attr_reader
# good
attr_accessor :something
attr_reader :one, :two, :three
```
* Consider using `Struct.new`, which defines the trivial accessors,
constructor and comparison operators for you.
```Ruby
# good
class Person
attr_accessor :first_name, :last_name
def initialize(first_name, last_name)
@first_name = first_name
@last_name = last_name
end
end
# better
Person = Struct.new(:first_name, :last_name) do
end
````
* Don't extend a `Struct.new` - it already is a new class. Extending it introduces a superfluous class level and may also introduce weird errors if the file is required multiple times.
* Consider adding factory methods to provide additional sensible ways
to create instances of a particular class.
```Ruby
class Person
def self.create(options_hash)
# body omitted
end
end
```
* Prefer [duck-typing](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_typing) over inheritance.
```Ruby
# bad
class Animal
# abstract method
def speak
end
end
# extend superclass
class Duck < Animal
def speak
puts 'Quack! Quack'
end
end
# extend superclass
class Dog < Animal
def speak
puts 'Bau! Bau!'
end
end
# good
class Duck
def speak
puts 'Quack! Quack'
end
end
class Dog
def speak
puts 'Bau! Bau!'
end
end
```
* Avoid the usage of class (`@@`) variables due to their "nasty" behavior
in inheritance.
```Ruby
class Parent
@@class_var = 'parent'
def self.print_class_var
puts @@class_var
end
end
class Child < Parent
@@class_var = 'child'
end
Parent.print_class_var # => will print "child"
```
As you can see all the classes in a class hierarchy actually share one
class variable. Class instance variables should usually be preferred
over class variables.
* Assign proper visibility levels to methods (`private`, `protected`)
in accordance with their intended usage. Don't go off leaving
everything `public` (which is the default). After all we're coding
in *Ruby* now, not in *Python*.
* Indent the `public`, `protected`, and `private` methods as much the
method definitions they apply to. Leave one blank line above the
visibility modifier
and one blank line below in order to emphasize that it applies to all
methods below it.
```Ruby
class SomeClass
def public_method
# ...
end
private
def private_method
# ...
end
def another_private_method
# ...
end
end
```
* Use `def self.method` to define singleton methods. This makes the code
easier to refactor since the class name is not repeated.
```Ruby
class TestClass
# bad
def TestClass.some_method
# body omitted
end
# good
def self.some_other_method
# body omitted
end
# Also possible and convenient when you
# have to define many singleton methods.
class << self
def first_method
# body omitted
end
def second_method_etc
# body omitted
end
end
end
```
## Exceptions
* Signal exceptions using the `fail` method. Use `raise` only when
catching an exception and re-raising it (because here you're not
failing, but explicitly and purposefully raising an exception).
```Ruby
begin
fail 'Oops'
rescue => error
raise if error.message != 'Oops'
end
```
* Don't specify `RuntimeError` explicitly in the two argument version of `fail/raise`.
```Ruby
# bad
fail RuntimeError, 'message'
# good - signals a RuntimeError by default
fail 'message'
```
* Prefer supplying an exception class and a message as two separate
arguments to `fail/raise`, instead of an exception instance.
```Ruby
# bad
fail SomeException.new('message')
# Note that there is no way to do `fail SomeException.new('message'), backtrace`.
# good
fail SomeException, 'message'
# Consistent with `fail SomeException, 'message', backtrace`.
```
* Never return from an `ensure` block. If you explicitly return from a
method inside an `ensure` block, the return will take precedence over
any exception being raised, and the method will return as if no
exception had been raised at all. In effect, the exception will be
silently thrown away.
```Ruby
def foo
begin
fail
ensure
return 'very bad idea'
end
end
```
* Use *implicit begin blocks* where possible.
```Ruby
# bad
def foo
begin
# main logic goes here
rescue
# failure handling goes here
end
end
# good
def foo
# main logic goes here
rescue
# failure handling goes here
end
```
* Mitigate the proliferation of `begin` blocks by using
*contingency methods* (a term coined by Avdi Grimm).
```Ruby
# bad
begin
something_that_might_fail
rescue IOError
# handle IOError
end
begin
something_else_that_might_fail
rescue IOError
# handle IOError
end
# good
def with_io_error_handling
yield
rescue IOError
# handle IOError
end
with_io_error_handling { something_that_might_fail }
with_io_error_handling { something_else_that_might_fail }
```
* Don't suppress exceptions.
```Ruby
# bad
begin
# an exception occurs here
rescue SomeError
# the rescue clause does absolutely nothing
end
# bad
do_something rescue nil
```
* Avoid using `rescue` in its modifier form.
```Ruby
# bad - this catches exceptions of StandardError class and its descendant classes
read_file rescue handle_error($!)
# good - this catches only the exceptions of Errno::ENOENT class and its descendant classes
def foo
read_file
rescue Errno::ENOENT => ex
handle_error(ex)
end
```
* Don't use exceptions for flow of control.
```Ruby
# bad
begin
n / d
rescue ZeroDivisionError
puts 'Cannot divide by 0!'
end
# good
if d.zero?
puts 'Cannot divide by 0!'
else
n / d
end
```
* Avoid rescuing the `Exception` class. This will trap signals and calls to
`exit`, requiring you to `kill -9` the process.
```Ruby
# bad
begin
# calls to exit and kill signals will be caught (except kill -9)
exit
rescue Exception
puts "you didn't really want to exit, right?"
# exception handling
end
# good
begin
# a blind rescue rescues from StandardError, not Exception as many
# programmers assume.
rescue => e
# exception handling
end
# also good
begin
# an exception occurs here
rescue StandardError => e
# exception handling
end
```
* Put more specific exceptions higher up the rescue chain, otherwise
they'll never be rescued from.
```Ruby
# bad
begin
# some code
rescue Exception => e
# some handling
rescue StandardError => e
# some handling
end
# good
begin
# some code
rescue StandardError => e
# some handling
rescue Exception => e
# some handling
end
```
* Release external resources obtained by your program in an ensure
block.
```Ruby
f = File.open('testfile')
begin
# .. process
rescue
# .. handle error
ensure
f.close unless f.nil?
end
```
* Favor the use of exceptions for the standard library over
introducing new exception classes.
## Collections
* Prefer literal array and hash creation notation (unless you need to
pass parameters to their constructors, that is).
```Ruby
# bad
arr = Array.new
hash = Hash.new
# good
arr = []
hash = {}
```
* Prefer `%w` to the literal array syntax when you need an array of
words(non-empty strings without spaces and special characters in them).
Apply this rule only to arrays with two or more elements.
```Ruby
# bad
STATES = ['draft', 'open', 'closed']
# good
STATES = %w(draft open closed)
```
* Prefer `%i` to the literal array syntax when you need an array of
symbols(and you don't need to maintain Ruby 1.9 compatibility). Apply
this rule only to arrays with two or more elements.
```Ruby
# bad
STATES = [:draft, :open, :closed]
# good
STATES = %i(draft open closed)
```
* Avoid comma after the last item of an `Array` or `Hash` literal, especially
when the items are not on separate lines.
```Ruby
# bad - easier to move/add/remove items, but still not preferred
VALUES = [
1001,
2020,
3333,
]
# bad
VALUES = [1001, 2020, 3333, ]
# good
VALUES = [1001, 2020, 3333]
```
* Avoid the creation of huge gaps in arrays.
```Ruby
arr = []
arr[100] = 1 # now you have an array with lots of nils
```
* When accessing the first or last element from an array, prefer `first` or `last` over `[0]` or `[-1]`.
* Use `Set` instead of `Array` when dealing with unique elements. `Set`
implements a collection of unordered values with no duplicates. This
is a hybrid of `Array`'s intuitive inter-operation facilities and
`Hash`'s fast lookup.
* Prefer symbols instead of strings as hash keys.
```Ruby
# bad
hash = { 'one' => 1, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3 }
# good
hash = { one: 1, two: 2, three: 3 }
```
* Avoid the use of mutable objects as hash keys.
* Use the Ruby 1.9 hash literal syntax when your hash keys are symbols.
```Ruby
# bad
hash = { :one => 1, :two => 2, :three => 3 }
# good
hash = { one: 1, two: 2, three: 3 }
```
* Don't mix the Ruby 1.9 hash syntax with hash rockets in the same
hash literal. When you've got keys that are not symbols stick to the
hash rockets syntax.
```Ruby
# bad
{ a: 1, 'b' => 2 }
# good
{ :a => 1, 'b' => 2 }
```
* Use `Hash#key?` instead of `Hash#has_key?` and `Hash#value?` instead
of `Hash#has_value?`. As noted
[here](http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/43765)
by Matz, the longer forms are considered deprecated.
```Ruby
# bad
hash.has_key?(:test)
hash.has_value?(value)
# good
hash.key?(:test)
hash.value?(value)
```
* Use `Hash#fetch` when dealing with hash keys that should be present.
```Ruby
heroes = { batman: 'Bruce Wayne', superman: 'Clark Kent' }
# bad - if we make a mistake we might not spot it right away
heroes[:batman] # => "Bruce Wayne"
heroes[:supermann] # => nil
# good - fetch raises a KeyError making the problem obvious
heroes.fetch(:supermann)
```
* Introduce default values for hash keys via `Hash#fetch` as opposed to using custom logic.
```Ruby
batman = { name: 'Bruce Wayne', is_evil: false }
# bad - if we just use || operator with falsy value we won't get the expected result
batman[:is_evil] || true # => true
# good - fetch work correctly with falsy values
batman.fetch(:is_evil, true) # => false
```
* Prefer the use of the block instead of the default value in `Hash#fetch`.
```Ruby
batman = { name: 'Bruce Wayne' }
# bad - if we use the default value, we eager evaluate it
# so it can slow the program down if done multiple times
batman.fetch(:powers, get_batman_powers) # get_batman_powers is an expensive call
# good - blocks are lazy evaluated, so only triggered in case of KeyError exception
batman.fetch(:powers) { get_batman_powers }
```
* Use `Hash#values_at` when you need to retrieve several values consecutively from a hash.
```Ruby
# bad
email = data['email']
nickname = data['nickname']
# good
email, username = data.values_at('email', 'nickname')
```
* Rely on the fact that as of Ruby 1.9 hashes are ordered.
* Never modify a collection while traversing it.
## Strings
* Prefer string interpolation and string formatting instead of string concatenation:
```Ruby
# bad
email_with_name = user.name + ' <' + user.email + '>'
# good
email_with_name = "#{user.name} <#{user.email}>"
# good
email_with_name = format('%s <%s>', user.name, user.email)
```
* Consider padding string interpolation code with space. It more clearly sets the
code apart from the string.
```Ruby
"#{ user.last_name }, #{ user.first_name }"
```
* Adopt a consistent string literal quoting style. There are two
popular styles in the Ruby community, both of which are considered
good - single quotes by default (Option A) and double quotes by default (Option B).
* **(Option A)** Prefer single-quoted strings when you don't need
string interpolation or special symbols such as `\t`, `\n`, `'`,
etc.
```Ruby
# bad
name = "Bozhidar"
# good
name = 'Bozhidar'
```
* **(Option B)** Prefer double-quotes unless your string literal
contains `"` or escape characters you want to suppress.
```Ruby
# bad
name = 'Bozhidar'
# good
name = "Bozhidar"
```
The second style is arguably a bit more popular in the Ruby
community. The string literals in this guide, however, are
aligned with the first style.
* Don't use the character literal syntax `?x`. Since Ruby 1.9 it's
basically redundant - `?x` would interpreted as `'x'` (a string with
a single character in it).
```Ruby
# bad
char = ?c
# good
char = 'c'
```
* Don't leave out `{}` around instance and global variables being
interpolated into a string.
```Ruby
class Person
attr_reader :first_name, :last_name
def initialize(first_name, last_name)
@first_name = first_name
@last_name = last_name
end
# bad - valid, but awkward
def to_s
"#@first_name #@last_name"
end
# good
def to_s
"#{@first_name} #{@last_name}"
end
end
$global = 0
# bad
puts "$global = #$global"
# good
puts "$global = #{$global}"
```
* Don't use `Object#to_s` on interpolated objects. It's invoked on them automatically.
```Ruby
# bad
message = "This is the #{result.to_s}."
# good
message = "This is the #{result}."
```
* Avoid using `String#+` when you need to construct large data chunks.
Instead, use `String#<<`. Concatenation mutates the string instance in-place
and is always faster than `String#+`, which creates a bunch of new string objects.
```Ruby
# good and also fast
html = ''
html << '<h1>Page title</h1>'
paragraphs.each do |paragraph|
html << "<p>#{paragraph}</p>"
end
```
* When using heredocs for multi-line strings keep in mind the fact
that they preserve leading whitespace. It's a good practice to
employ some margin based on which to trim the excessive whitespace.
```Ruby
code = <<-END.gsub(/^\s+\|/, '')
|def test
| some_method
| other_method
|end
END
#=> "def test\n some_method\n other_method\nend\n"
```
## Regular Expressions
> Some people, when confronted with a problem, think
> "I know, I'll use regular expressions." Now they have two problems.<br/>
> -- Jamie Zawinski
* Don't use regular expressions if you just need plain text search in string:
`string['text']`
* For simple constructions you can use regexp directly through string index.
```Ruby
match = string[/regexp/] # get content of matched regexp
first_group = string[/text(grp)/, 1] # get content of captured group
string[/text (grp)/, 1] = 'replace' # string => 'text replace'
```
* Use non-capturing groups when you don't use captured result of parentheses.
```Ruby
/(first|second)/ # bad
/(?:first|second)/ # good
```
* Don't use the cryptic Perl-legacy variables denoting last regexp group matches
(`$1`, `$2`, etc). Use `Regexp.last_match[n]` instead.
```Ruby
/(regexp)/ =~ string
...
# bad
process $1
# good
process Regexp.last_match[1]
```
* Avoid using numbered groups as it can be hard to track what they contain. Named groups
can be used instead.
```Ruby
# bad
/(regexp)/ =~ string
...
process Regexp.last_match[1]
# good
/(?<meaningful_var>regexp)/ =~ string
...
process meaningful_var
```
* Character classes have only a few special characters you should care about:
`^`, `-`, `\`, `]`, so don't escape `.` or brackets in `[]`.
* Be careful with `^` and `$` as they match start/end of line, not string endings.
If you want to match the whole string use: `\A` and `\z` (not to be
confused with `\Z` which is the equivalent of `/\n?\z/`).
```Ruby
string = "some injection\nusername"
string[/^username$/] # matches
string[/\Ausername\z/] # don't match
```
* Use `x` modifier for complex regexps. This makes them more readable and you
can add some useful comments. Just be careful as spaces are ignored.
```Ruby
regexp = %r{
start # some text
\s # white space char
(group) # first group
(?:alt1|alt2) # some alternation
end
}x
```
* For complex replacements `sub`/`gsub` can be used with block or hash.
## Percent Literals
* Use `%()`(it's a shorthand for `%Q`) for single-line strings which require both interpolation
and embedded double-quotes. For multi-line strings, prefer heredocs.
```Ruby
# bad (no interpolation needed)
%(<div class="text">Some text</div>)
# should be '<div class="text">Some text</div>'
# bad (no double-quotes)
%(This is #{quality} style)
# should be "This is #{quality} style"
# bad (multiple lines)
%(<div>\n<span class="big">#{exclamation}</span>\n</div>)
# should be a heredoc.
# good (requires interpolation, has quotes, single line)
%(<tr><td class="name">#{name}</td>)
```
* Avoid `%q` unless you have a string with both `'` and `"` in
it. Regular string literals are more readable and should be
preferred unless a lot of characters would have to be escaped in
them.
```Ruby
# bad
name = %q(Bruce Wayne)
time = %q(8 o'clock)
question = %q("What did you say?")
# good
name = 'Bruce Wayne'
time = "8 o'clock"
question = '"What did you say?"'
```
* Use `%r` only for regular expressions matching *more than* one '/' character.
```Ruby
# bad
%r(\s+)
# still bad
%r(^/(.*)$)
# should be /^\/(.*)$/
# good
%r(^/blog/2011/(.*)$)
```
* Avoid the use of `%x` unless you're going to invoke a command with backquotes in it(which is rather unlikely).
```Ruby
# bad
date = %x(date)
# good
date = `date`
echo = %x(echo `date`)
```
* Avoid the use of `%s`. It seems that the community has decided
`:"some string"` is the preferred way to create a symbol with
spaces in it.
* Prefer `()` as delimiters for all `%` literals, except `%r`. Since
braces often appear inside regular expressions in many scenarios a
less common character like `{` might be a better choice for a
delimiter, depending on the regexp's content.
```Ruby
# bad
%w[one two three]
%q{"Test's king!", John said.}
# good
%w(one two three)
%q("Test's king!", John said.)
```
## Metaprogramming
* Avoid needless metaprogramming.
* Do not mess around in core classes when writing libraries.
(Do not monkey-patch them.)
* The block form of `class_eval` is preferable to the string-interpolated form.
- when you use the string-interpolated form, always supply `__FILE__` and `__LINE__`, so that your backtraces make sense:
```ruby
class_eval 'def use_relative_model_naming?; true; end', __FILE__, __LINE__
```
- `define_method` is preferable to `class_eval{ def ... }`
* When using `class_eval` (or other `eval`) with string interpolation, add a comment block showing its appearance if interpolated (a practice used in Rails code):
```ruby
# from activesupport/lib/active_support/core_ext/string/output_safety.rb
UNSAFE_STRING_METHODS.each do |unsafe_method|
if 'String'.respond_to?(unsafe_method)
class_eval <<-EOT, __FILE__, __LINE__ + 1
def #{unsafe_method}(*args, &block) # def capitalize(*args, &block)
to_str.#{unsafe_method}(*args, &block) # to_str.capitalize(*args, &block)
end # end
def #{unsafe_method}!(*args) # def capitalize!(*args)
@dirty = true # @dirty = true
super # super
end # end
EOT
end
end
```
* Avoid using `method_missing` for metaprogramming because backtraces become messy, the behavior is not listed in `#methods`, and misspelled method calls might silently work, e.g. `nukes.launch_state = false`. Consider using delegation, proxy, or `define_method` instead. If you must use `method_missing`:
- Be sure to [also define `respond_to_missing?`](http://blog.marc-andre.ca/2010/11/methodmissing-politely.html)
- Only catch methods with a well-defined prefix, such as `find_by_*` -- make your code as assertive as possible.
- Call `super` at the end of your statement
- Delegate to assertive, non-magical methods:
```ruby
# bad
def method_missing?(meth, *args, &block)
if /^find_by_(?<prop>.*)/ =~ meth
# ... lots of code to do a find_by
else
super
end
end
# good
def method_missing?(meth, *args, &block)
if /^find_by_(?<prop>.*)/ =~ meth
find_by(prop, *args, &block)
else
super
end
end
# best of all, though, would to define_method as each findable attribute is declared
```
## Misc
* Write `ruby -w` safe code.
* Avoid hashes as optional parameters. Does the method do too much? (Object initializers are exceptions for this rule).
* Avoid methods longer than 10 LOC (lines of code). Ideally, most methods will be shorter than
5 LOC. Empty lines do not contribute to the relevant LOC.
* Avoid parameter lists longer than three or four parameters.
* If you really need "global" methods, add them to Kernel
and make them private.
* Use module instance variables instead of global variables.
```Ruby
# bad
$foo_bar = 1
#good
module Foo
class << self
attr_accessor :bar
end
end
Foo.bar = 1
```
* Avoid `alias` when `alias_method` will do.
* Use `OptionParser` for parsing complex command line options and
`ruby -s` for trivial command line options.
* Prefer `Time.now` over `Time.new` when retrieving the current system time.
* Code in a functional way, avoiding mutation when that makes sense.
* Do not mutate arguments unless that is the purpose of the method.
* Avoid more than three levels of block nesting.
* Be consistent. In an ideal world, be consistent with these guidelines.
* Use common sense.
