# RuboCop Rails

[![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/rubocop-rails.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/rb/rubocop-rails)
[![CI](https://github.com/rubocop/rubocop-rails/actions/workflows/test.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/rubocop/rubocop-rails/actions/workflows/test.yml)

A [RuboCop](https://github.com/rubocop/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](https://rubygems.org/gems/rubocop-rails_config) gem.

## Installation

Just install the `rubocop-rails` gem

```sh
$ gem install rubocop-rails
```

or if you use bundler put this in your `Gemfile`

```ruby
gem 'rubocop-rails', require: false
```

## Usage

You need to tell RuboCop to load the Rails extension. There are three
ways to do this:

### RuboCop configuration file

Put this into your `.rubocop.yml`.

```yaml
require: rubocop-rails
```

Alternatively, use the following array notation when specifying multiple extensions.

```yaml
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.

### Command line

```sh
$ rubocop --require rubocop-rails
```

Note: `--rails` option is required while `rubocop` command supports `--rails` option.

### Rake task

```ruby
require 'rubocop/rake_task'

RuboCop::RakeTask.new do |task|
task.requires << 'rubocop-rails'
end
```

## Rails configuration tip

In Rails 6.1+, 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`.

```ruby
# 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.

In Rails 7.2+, it is recommended to use `config.generators.apply_rubocop_autocorrect_after_generate!` instead of the above setting:

```diff
# config/environments/development.rb
Rails.application.configure do
(snip)
# Apply autocorrection by RuboCop to files generated by `bin/rails generate`.
- # config.generators.apply_rubocop_autocorrect_after_generate!
+ config.generators.apply_rubocop_autocorrect_after_generate!
end
```

You only need to uncomment.

## The Cops

All cops are located under
[`lib/rubocop/cop/rails`](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:

```yaml
Rails/FindBy:
Exclude:
- lib/example.rb
```

## Documentation

You can read a lot more about RuboCop Rails in its [official docs](https://docs.rubocop.org/rubocop-rails/).

## Compatibility

Rails cops support the following versions:

- Rails 4.2+
