This gem provides a cli binary named 'rbeautify' that will pretty up ruby code.
% gem install ruby-beautify
To Pretty up a file:
% rbeautify filename
Without a filename it reads from STDIN, suitable for piping:
% curl 'http://example.org/ugly-file.rb' | rbeautify
It has help:
% rbeautify --help
You can pick your indent character:
% rbeautify --(t)abs
% rbeautify --(s)paces
You can also pick the count of characters:
% rbeautify --indent_(c)ount 1
Examples:
% rbeautify -c 2 -s filename
% rbeautify filename
% rbeautify -t -c 2 filename
I don't have every ruby style tested against, so I expect some gaps. Feel free to submit issues (please include an example) and I'll figure out how to 'beautify' it.
Please feel free to open issues, I am actively working on this project again, thanks entirely to the ripper gem.
- Add vim style comment hinting.
- Add overwrite in place to files.
- Add 'best guest' for files that fail syntax checking.
- Add syntax checking to files rendered via STDIN.
Longer term I'd like to do some more to assignment, line wrapping, and spacing in/around keywords.
- fork it.
- create it.
- push it.
- pull it.
The original analyzer is available at: http://www.arachnoid.com/ruby/rubyBeautifier.html.
My work is based off of this sublime-text2 plugin: https://github.com/CraigWilliams/BeautifyRuby but cleaned up and made suitable for use directly in a shell.
I've recently re-written this to use the stdlib ripper gem to do the lexical analyzing. Consequently I've dropped all of the old legacy code that did this.
