== DESCRIPTION:

Roodi stands for Ruby Object Oriented Design Inferometer. It parses your Ruby code and warns you about design issues you have based on the checks that is has configured.

== INSTALL:

• sudo gem install roodi

== SYNOPSIS:

To check one or more files using the default configuration that comes with Roodi, use: roodi [-config=file] [pattern ...]

=== EXAMPLE USAGE

Check all ruby files in a rails app: roodi "rails_app/**/*.rb"

Check one controller and one model file in a rails app: roodi app/controller/sample_controller.rb app/models/sample.rb

Check one controller and all model files in a rails app: roodi app/controller/sample_controller.rb "app/models/*.rb"

Check all ruby files in a rails app with a custom configuration file: roodi -config=my_roodi_config.yml "rails_app/**/*.rb"

If you're writing a check, it is useful to see the structure of a file the way that Roodi tokenizes it (via ruby_parser). Use: roodi-describe [filename]

== CUSTOM CONFIGURATION

To change the set of checks included, or to change the default values of the checks, you can provide your own config file. The config file is a YAML file that lists the checks to be included. Each check can optionally include a hash of options that are passed to the check to configure it. For example, the default config file looks like this:

AssignmentInConditionalCheck:    { }
CaseMissingElseCheck:            { }
ClassLineCountCheck:             { line_count: 300 }
ClassNameCheck:                  { pattern: !ruby/regexp /^[A-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$/ }
CyclomaticComplexityBlockCheck:  { complexity: 4 }
CyclomaticComplexityMethodCheck: { complexity: 8 }
EmptyRescueBodyCheck:            { }
ForLoopCheck:                    { }
MethodLineCountCheck:            { line_count: 20 }
MethodNameCheck:                 { pattern: !ruby/regexp /^[_a-z<>=\[\]|+-\/\*`]+[_a-z0-9_<>=~@\[\]]*[=!\?]?$/ }
ModuleLineCountCheck:            { line_count: 300 }
ModuleNameCheck:                 { pattern: !ruby/regexp /^[A-Z][a-zA-Z0-9]*$/ }
ParameterNumberCheck:            { parameter_count: 5 }

== SUPPORTED CHECKS:

• AssignmentInConditionalCheck - Check for an assignment inside a conditional. It's probably a mistaken equality comparison.
• CaseMissingElseCheck - Check that case statements have an else statement so that all cases are covered.
• ClassLineCountCheck - Check that the number of lines in a class is below the threshold.
• ClassNameCheck - Check that class names match convention.
• CyclomaticComplexityBlockCheck - Check that the cyclomatic complexity of all blocks is below the threshold.
• CyclomaticComplexityMethodCheck - Check that the cyclomatic complexity of all methods is below the threshold.
• EmptyRescueBodyCheck - Check that there are no empty rescue blocks.
• ForLoopCheck - Check that for loops aren't used (Use Enumerable.each instead)
• MethodLineCountCheck - Check that the number of lines in a method is below the threshold.
• MethodNameCheck - Check that method names match convention.
• ModuleLineCountCheck - Check that the number of lines in a module is below the threshold.
• ModuleNameCheck - Check that module names match convention.
• ParameterNumberCheck - Check that the number of parameters on a method is below the threshold.

== SUGGESTED CHECKS:

• BlockVariableShadowCheck - Check that a block variable does not have the same name as a method parameter or local variable. It may be mistakenly referenced within the block.
