@prettier/plugin-ruby

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.

standard

Standard is a Ruby style guide, linter, and formatter based on RuboCop. It enforces a standard style and can automatically fix issues, similar to @prettier/plugin-ruby, but with a focus on simplicity and minimal configuration.

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.

This plugin currently supports formatting the following kinds of files:

• All varieties of Ruby source files (e.g., *.rb, *.gemspec, Gemfile, etc.)
• RBS type language files - requires having the rbs gem in your gem path
• HAML template language files - requires having the haml gem in your gem path

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 '**/*'

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

You'll also need to add the necessary Ruby dependencies. You can do this by running:

gem install syntax_tree syntax_tree-haml syntax_tree-rbs

The prettier executable is now installed and ready for use:

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

Configuration

Below are the options (from src/plugin.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).

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

{
  "tabWidth": 4
}

Or, they can be passed to prettier as arguments:

bundle exec rbprettier --tab-width 4 --write '**/*'

Usage with RuboCop

RuboCop and Prettier for Ruby serve different purposes, but there is overlap with some of RuboCop's functionality.

Prettier provides a RuboCop configuration file to disable the rules which clash. To enable, add the following config at the top of your project's .rubocop.yml:

Ruby gem

inherit_gem:
  prettier: rubocop.yml

npm package

inherit_from:
  - node_modules/@prettier/plugin-ruby/rubocop.yml

Usage with an editor

For supported editor integrations, you should follow the instructions for installing the integration, then install the npm version of this plugin as a development dependency of your project. For most integrations, that should be sufficient. For convenience, the instructions for integrating with VSCode are used as an example below:

• Install the Prettier - Code Formatter extension.
• Add the npm @prettier/plugin-ruby package to your project as described above.
• Configure in your settings.json (formatOnSave is optional):

{
  "[ruby]": {
    "editor.defaultFormatter": "esbenp.prettier-vscode",
    "editor.formatOnSave": true
  }
}
