Settings

Rufo supports limited configuration.
To configure Rufo, place a .rufo file in your project.
Each configuration is a call with one argument. For example:

# .rufo
trailing_commas false
parens_in_def :dynamic

:warning: Settings are going away! :warning:

The settings described below will be removed from future versions of rufo :skull:

See https://github.com/ruby-formatter/rufo/issues/2 for more context!

align_case_when

Align successive case when?

• false: (default) don’t align case when (preserve existing code)
• true: align successive case when

Given this code:

case exp
when foo then 2
when barbaz then 3
end

With true, the formatter will change it to:

case exp
when foo    then 2
when barbaz then 3
end

With false it won’t modify it.

align_chained_calls

Align chained calls to the dot?

• false: (default) don’t align chained calls to the dot (preserve existing code)
• true: align chained calls to the dot

Given this code:

foo.bar
   .baz

foo.bar
  .baz

With true, the formatter will change it to:

foo.bar
   .baz

foo.bar
   .baz

With false it won’t modify it.

Note that with false it will keep it aligned to the dot if it’s already like that.

parens_in_def

Use parentheses in defs?

• :yes: (default) always use parentheses (add them if they are not there)
• :dynamic: don’t modify existing methods parentheses choice

Given this code:

def foo x, y
end

def bar(x, y)
end

With :yes the formatter will change it to:

def foo(x, y)
end

def bar(x, y)
end

With :dynamic it won’t modify it.

trailing_commas

Use trailing commas in array and hash literals, and keyword arguments?

• :always: (default) always put a trailing comma
• :never: never put a trailing comma

Given this code:

[
  1,
  2
]

[
  1,
  2,
]

{
  foo: 1,
  bar: 2
}

{
  foo: 1,
  bar: 2,
}

foo(
  x: 1,
  y: 2
)

foo(
  x: 1,
  y: 2,
)

With :always, the formatter will change it to:

[
  1,
  2,
]

[
  1,
  2,
]

{
  foo: 1,
  bar: 2,
}

{
  foo: 1,
  bar: 2,
}

foo(
  x: 1,
  y: 2,
)

foo(
  x: 1,
  y: 2,
)

With :never, the formatter will change it to:

[
  1,
  2
]

[
  1,
  2
]

{
  foo: 1,
  bar: 2
}

{
  foo: 1,
  bar: 2
}

foo(
  x: 1,
  y: 2
)

foo(
  x: 1,
  y: 2
)

quote_style

Use the specified quotation marks.

• :double: (default) use doublequotations unless one or more escaped double-quotations are included
• :single: use single quotations unless one or more interpolations #{} or escaped single quotations are included

This does not affect %q() (single), %Q() (double), or quotation marks within heredocs.

Given this code:

'a great string'

'import \"quotes\"'
"import \'quotes\'"
"#{interpolation}"
%q(single quoted)
%Q(double quoted)
code = <
