File Names

Directory and File names and Suffixes

Ruby source code

file/directory name is lower case class/module name with suffix '.rb'.

ex.

Foo class => foo.rb

Bar module => bar.rb

FooBar class => foobar.rb (Normal Rule)

                foo_bar.rb (Rails Rule)

Foo::Bar class => foo/bar.rb

:Libraries(())

non-standard multiple files required by a script should be in one directory, and they should be installed to the standard site-ruby directory or a script's library directory.

don't use a current directory for libraries it is dangerous. since the directory in which script exists can not be specified portably, it is also not suited for libraries.

File Organization

§ require (if necessary)

§ include (if necessary)

§ classes and modules definition

§ main

§ testing code(?) using FILE idiom

ex:

if FILE == $0

end

Beginning Comment

begin - end style

for file header or footer.

=begin

  * Name:

  * Description  

  * Author:

  * Date:

  * License:

=end

using '#' style

for class/module and method definitions

  # using foo bar

  #

  # foo bar buz.

  #

  class Foo

    # bar.bar.bar.

    #

    class Bar

       # constructor of Bar.

       #

       def initialize(bar = nil)

         super(bar)

       end

       def bar

         self

       end

    end

    def initialize()

    end

  end

Indentation

Line length

Max length is about 80 characters.

Wrapping Line

§ Break after comma

§ Break after operator

Comments

Ruby has two comments style: =begin…=end and '#'. You should use =begin…=end for Documentation Comments, and '#' for both Documentation Comments and Implementation Comments.

Implementation Comments

h4. Block Comments

  # Here is block comment.

  #

  #  foo, bar, buz.

h4. Single-Line Comments

  # this is single line comment.

  ## this is also single line comment.

h4. Tailing Comments

  if a == 2

    true        # special case

  else

    prime?(a)   # work only for odd a

  end

h3. Documentation Comments h4. Header/Footer

  =begin

  = FooBar library

  == What's New?

  .....

  ....

  == Installation

  .....

  ....

  ....

  =end

h4. In Class/Module

  # .....

  # ....

  #

  def foo()

    ..

or

  ##

  # .....

  # ....

  #

  def foo()

    ..

h3. Way of no commenting

If you can write simple, short and light scripts, comments may not be necessary.

You can let ((the script itself tell everything)), instead of embedding documentation that may confuse readers of your script.

Definitions

Initialization

Ruby variables have no 'definitions'. So, you should initialize variables.

One initialization per line

level = 0

size  = 0

is preferred over

level = size = 0

Placement

Statements

Simple Statements

Each line should contain at most one statement.

foo = 1  ## Correct

bar = 2  ## Correct

foo = 1; bar = 2  ## AVOID!

Compound Statements

if-end, if-else-end, if-elsif-else-end Statements

simple example:

if

end

more complex example:

if

elsif

else

end

You can put on after when is one-line.

if

block methods

`{...}' style:

bar.foo(vars){|vars2|

}

`do…end' style:

bar.foo(vars) do |vars2|

end

one-line block:

bar.foo(){|var|   }

case-when Statements

Ruby's case-when (not when-case) does not need 'break'.

case foo

when condition1

when condition2

else

end

begin-rescue-end Statements

It handles errors (Exceptions).

begin

rescue FooError => e

rescue BazError => e2

rescue

end

White Space

Blank Lines

§ Between sections of a source file

§ Between class and module definitions

§ Between methods

§ Before blocks or single-line comments

§ Between logical sections inside a method to improve readability

Blank spaces

A keyword followed by a parenthesis should be separated by a space.

ex:

while (foo.end?) {

}

The number of spaces should be balanced.

a+b      ## Correct

a + b    ## Correct

a+ b     ## AVOID!

a +b     ## AVOID! (Erroneous: interpreted as a(+b))

a += b + c

a = (a + b) / (c * d)

a = b

foo("foo" + buz + bar)

Naming Conventions

Classes/Modules

class and module names should be nouns; in mixed case with the first letter of each internal word capitalized.

ex:

class Raster,  class Raster::ImageSprite

Methods

Methods should be verbs. All lower case ASCII letters with words separated by underscores ('_')

ex.

run(), run_fast(), obj.background_color()

Variables

variable names should be all lower case ASCII letters with words separated by underscore ('_')

ex: i = 1 some_char = SomeChar.new() table_width = 0.0

Constants

constants should be all upper case with words separated by underscores ('_'). (())

ex:

MIN_LENGTH = 1

DEFAULT_HOST = "foo.example.com"

Omission

Speaking of 'Connection Pool' as a variable, you should decide to prefer name by scope such as the following…

§ 'conpool' for local scope (such as local variable)

§ '@connection_pool' for class scope (such as instance variable)

Pragmatic Programming Practices

Using attr_* to access

def foo()

  @foo

end

attr_reader :foo

Without Parenthesis

Some methods are used without parenthesis.

§ require

ex.

require 'foo/bar'

§ include

ex.

include FooModule

§ p

ex.

p foo

§ attr_*

ex.

attr_reader :foo, :bar

Reduce repetition

When successive lines of a script share something,

x = ModuleA::ClassB::method_c( a )

y = ModuleA::ClassB::method_d( b )

()

you should make it like this:

cb = ModuleA::ClassB

x = cb::method_c( a )

y = cb::method_d( b )

You can also do:

include ModuleA

x = ClassB::method_c(a)

y = ClassB::method_d(b)
