Code Style. Ruby

Visual guides

Allows you to specify the position of visual guides that help you control the width of the code. If you want to specify several visual guides, enter numbers separated by a comma, for example, 45, 60.

Keep when reformatting

Use the options to configure exceptions that RubyMine will make when reformatting the source code. By default, the Line breaks checkbox is selected. RubyMine in this case will ignore line breaks when reformatting the source code. If your code contains lines that are shorter than a standard convention, you can convert them by disabling the Line breaks checkbox before reformatting.

List items

Use these options to format multiline code constructs. For example, if Align when multiple is enabled, RubyMine aligns hash items.

options = {:font_size => 10,
           :font_family => "Arial"}

Assignments and hashes

Use these options to format variable assignments and hash values. For example, if Align right parts is enabled, RubyMine aligns hash values.

options = {:font_size   => 10,
           :font_family => "Arial"}

Chained method calls

Use the options to format multiline chained method calls. For example, the Alignment option allows you to align chained method calls by the initial receiver or leading dots.

• Leading dots

  @posts = Post.where(author_id: @user.person_id, public: true)
               .order("created_at DESC")
               .limit(25)

• Initial receiver

  @posts = Post.where(author_id: @user.person_id, public: true)
           .order("created_at DESC")
           .limit(25)

Empty declarations

Specify how to format declarations of empty classes, methods, and modules.

• As is

• Single-line

  def foo; end

• Multi-line

  def foo;
  end

Keep Maximum Blank Lines

In this area, specify the number of extra blank lines to be kept after reformatting.

Minimum Blank Lines

In this area, configure whether to have or not to have extra empty lines after the blocks of import statements and around classes, fields, methods, or functions. In the field next to each option, specify the minimum number of extra blank lines to be left.

In this area, configure whether to have or not to have extra empty lines around top-level blocks and nested selectors. In the field next to each option, specify the minimum number of extra blank lines to be left.

Add parentheses around method arguments

Specify whether to add parentheses around arguments of a generated method. For example, this option is in effect for methods generated from usage or overridden method stubs.

Convert {} blocks to do..end by Enter

Enable this option to convert {} blocks to do..end automatically by pressing Enter.
