What is @prettier/plugin-ruby?

@prettier/plugin-ruby is a plugin for Prettier that adds support for formatting Ruby code. It ensures that Ruby code adheres to a consistent style, making it easier to read and maintain.

What are @prettier/plugin-ruby's main functionalities?

Code Formatting

This feature automatically formats Ruby code to follow a consistent style. For example, it ensures proper indentation and spacing.

def hello_world
  puts 'Hello, world!'
end

Consistent Style

This feature enforces a consistent coding style across Ruby files, such as consistent use of spaces, line breaks, and other stylistic elements.

class Person
  attr_accessor :name, :age

  def initialize(name, age)
    @name = name
    @age = age
  end
end

Integration with Prettier

This feature allows the plugin to be easily integrated with Prettier, enabling seamless formatting of Ruby code alongside other supported languages.

README

Prettier for Ruby

@prettier/plugin-ruby is a prettier plugin for the Ruby programming language and its ecosystem. prettier is an opinionated code formatter that supports multiple languages and integrates with most editors. The idea is to eliminate discussions of style in code review and allow developers to get back to thinking about code design instead.

For example, the below code segment:

        d=[30644250780,9003106878,
    30636278846,66641217692,4501790980,
 671_24_603036,131_61973916,66_606629_920,
   30642677916,30643069058];a,s=[],$*[0]
      s.each_byte{|b|a<<("%036b"%d[b.
         chr.to_i]).scan(/\d{6}/)}
          a.transpose.each{ |a|
            a.join.each_byte{\
             |i|print i==49?\
               ($*[1]||"#")\
                 :32.chr}
                   puts
                    }

when run through @prettier/plugin-ruby will generate:

d = [
  30_644_250_780,
  9_003_106_878,
  30_636_278_846,
  66_641_217_692,
  4_501_790_980,
  671_24_603036,
  131_61973916,
  66_606629_920,
  30_642_677_916,
  30_643_069_058
]
a, s = [], $*[0]
s.each_byte { |b| a << ('%036b' % d[b.chr.to_i]).scan(/\d{6}/) }
a.transpose.each do |a|
  a.join.each_byte { |i| print i == 49 ? ($*[1] || '#') : 32.chr }
  puts
end

Getting started

To run prettier with the Ruby plugin, you're going to need ruby (version 2.5 or newer) and node (version 8.3 or newer). If you're integrating with a project that is not already using prettier, you should use the Ruby gem. Otherwise you can use the npm package directly.

Note that currently the editor integrations work best with the npm package, as most of the major editor plugins expect a node_modules directory. You can get them to work with the Ruby gem, but it requires manually configuring the paths.

Ruby gem

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'prettier'

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

gem install prettier

The rbprettier executable is now installed and ready for use:

bundle exec rbprettier --write '**/*.rb'

npm package

If you're using the npm CLI, then add the plugin by:

npm install --save-dev prettier @prettier/plugin-ruby

Or if you're using yarn, then add the plugin by:

yarn add --dev prettier @prettier/plugin-ruby

The prettier executable is now installed and ready for use:

./node_modules/.bin/prettier --write '**/*.rb'

Configuration

Below are the options (from src/ruby.js) that @prettier/plugin-ruby currently supports:

API Option	CLI Option	Default	Description
printWidth	--print-width	80	Same as in Prettier (see prettier docs).
requirePragma	--require-pragma	false	Same as in Prettier (see prettier docs).
tabWidth	--tab-width	2	Same as in Prettier (see prettier docs).
addTrailingCommas	--add-trailing-commas	false	Adds a trailing comma to array literals, hash literals, and method calls.
inlineConditionals	--inline-conditionals	true	When it fits on one line, allows if and unless statements to use the modifier form.
inlineLoops	--inline-loops	true	When it fits on one line, allows while and until statements to use the modifier form.
preferHashLabels	--prefer-hash-labels	true	When possible, uses the shortened hash key syntax, as opposed to hash rockets.
preferSingleQuotes	--prefer-single-quotes	true	When double quotes are not necessary for interpolation, prefers the use of single quotes for string literals.
toProcTransform	--to-proc-transform	false	When possible, convert blocks to the more concise Symbol#to_proc syntax.

Any of these can be added to your existing prettier configuration file. For example:

{
  "preferSingleQuotes": false
}

Or, they can be passed to prettier as arguments:

prettier --prefer-single-quotes false --write '**/*.rb'

Changelog

[0.21.0] - 2020-12-02

Changed

• kddnewton, ryan-hunter-pc - Explicitly handle break and next keyword parentheses.
• jbielick, kddnewton - Don't convert between lambda {} and -> {}. Technically it's breaking the semantics of the program. Also because lambda method call arguments can't handle everything that stabby lambda can.
• kddnewton - Turn off the Symbol#to_proc transform by default.
• janklimo, kddnewton - Properly handle trailing commas on hash arguments.
• coiti, kddnewton - Properly handle parentheses when necessary on if/unless statements and while/until loops.
• Rsullivan00 - Prevent command and command_call nodes from being turned into ternaries.
• kddnewton - Better handling of the alias node with and without comments.
• kddnewton - Better handling of the BEGIN and END nodes with and without comments.
• kddnewton - Much better handling of heredocs where now there is a consistent heredoc node instead of multiple.
