RBS Collection manager

rbs collection sub command manages third party gems’ RBS. In short, it is bundler for RBS.

Requirements

git(1)
Gemfile.lock

Usage

Setup

First, generate the configuration file, rbs_collection.yaml, with rbs collection init.

$ rbs collection init
created: rbs_collection.yaml

$ cat rbs_collection.yaml
# Download sources
sources:
  - name: ruby/gem_rbs_collection
    remote: https://github.com/ruby/gem_rbs_collection.git
    revision: main
    repo_dir: gems

# A directory to install the downloaded RBSs
path: .gem_rbs_collection

gems:
  # Skip loading rbs gem's RBS.
  # It's unnecessary if you don't use rbs as a library.
  - name: rbs
    ignore: true

I also recommend updating .gitignore.

$ echo /.gem_rbs_collection/ &gt;&gt; .gitignore

Install dependencies

Then, install gems’ RBS with rbs collection install! It copies RBS from the gem RBS repository to .gem_rbs_collection/ directory by default.
I recommend to ignore .gem_rbs_collection/ from version control system, such as Git.

$ rbs collection install
Installing ast:2.4 (ruby/gem_rbs_collection@4b1a2a2f64c)
...
It's done! 42 gems's RBSs now installed.

Finally the third party RBSs are available! rbs commands, such as rbs validate, automatically load the third party RBSs.

Other commands

rbs collection has two more commands.

rbs collection update updates rbs_collection.lock.yaml.
rbs collection clean removes unnecessary rbs from .gem_rbs_collection directory.

Configuration

`rbs_collection.yaml`

Configure rbs collection with editing rbs_collection.yaml.

# rbs_collection.yaml

# Download sources.
# You can add own collection git repository.
sources:
  - name: ruby/gem_rbs_collection
    remote: https://github.com/ruby/gem_rbs_collection.git
    revision: main
    repo_dir: gems

# A directory to install the downloaded RBSs
path: .gem_rbs_collection

gems:
  # If the Gemfile.lock doesn't contain csv gem but you use csv gem,
  # you can write the gem name explicitly to install RBS of the gem.
  - name: csv

  # If the Gemfile.lock contains nokogiri gem but you don't want to use the RBS,
  # you can ignore the gem.
  # `rbs collection` avoids to install nokogiri gem's RBS by this change.
  # It is useful if the nokogiri RBS has a problem, such as compatibility issue with other RBS.
  - name: nokogiri
    ignore: true

`manifest.yaml`

If you are a gem maintainer, you can write manifest.yaml.
You need to put the file if the gem has implicit dependencies, which don’t appear in Gemfile.lock. You have to write standard libraries’ dependencies in most cases.
For example:

# manifest.yaml

dependencies:
  # If your gem depends on pathname but the gemspec doesn't include pathname,
  # you need to write the following.
  - name: pathname

If the gem’s RBS is managed with ruby/gem_rbs_collection, put it as gems/GEM_NAME/VERSION/manifest.yaml. For example, gems/activesupport/6.0/manifest.yaml.
If the gem’s RBS is included in the gem package, put it as sig/manifest.yaml.

Files / Directories

rbs_collection.yaml
- The configuration file.
- You need to edit it if:
- You don’t want to ignore gem’s RBS.
- You want to add gem’s RBS explicitly.
- You can change the file path with --collection option. e.g. rbs --collection another_conf.yaml collection install.
rbs_collection.lock.yaml
- RBS installs and loads RBS files with this file.
- It is auto-generated file. Do not edit this file.
- I recommend to manage it with VCS such as git.
.gem_rbs_collection/
- RBS installs third party RBS files to the directory.
- I recommend to ignore it from VCS.
- You can change the path with path option of rbs_collection.yaml file.

How it works

rbs collection is integrated with Bundler.
rbs collection install command generates gem_rbs_collection.lock.yaml from gem_rbs_collection.yaml and Gemfile.lock. It uses Gemfile.lock to detects dependencies.
