Rather than write a style guide, please follow by examples you see in the code. If you send me a patch, I will not reject it for style reasons (but I will fix it before it gets committed)
- indentation: 2 spaces
- between methods: 1 line
- sort your requires
- long lines should wrap at 80 characters. If you wrap at an operator (or, +, etc) start the next line with that operator.
- explicit is better than implicit
The point is consistency and documentation. If you see inconsistencies, let me know, and I'll fix them :)
Short example:
require "something from a gem" # from gem 'thing'
class Foo < Bar
def somefunc(arg1, arg2, arg3)
# comment
puts "Hello"
if (some_long_condition
or some_other_condition)
puts "World"
end # if
# Long lines should wrap and start with an operator if possible.
foo = some + long + formula + thing \
+ stuff + bar;
# Function calls, when wrapping, should align to the '(' where reasonable.
some_function_call(arg1, arg2, arg3, some_long_thing,
alignment_here, arg6)
# If it seems unreasonable, wrap and indent 4 spaces.
some_really_long_function_call_blah_blah_blah(arg1,
arg2, arg3, arg4)
end # def somefunc end # class Foo
