A set of Rubocop rules focused on accessiblity and legibility without concern for existing community standards.
All of the existing tools, like standardrb or the Ruby style guide, do not consider the consequences of their defaults on the wide variety of people using Ruby day to day.
This set of rules focuses on reduced nesting of code and accessibility for the reader. It breaks with the community entirely in several areas like indent styles.
Rules will evoke immediate disagreement from some, but they are all considered using real code and the following guidelines:
- it improves the experience of Rubyists with any form of visual impairment
- it eases programming for Rubyists with hand impairments
- it improves working memory burden by eliminating nested scopes
- it improves legibility by reducing rightward drift in statements and expressions
- it improves ease of understanding Ruby code
To use this gem, install it:
gem install accessiblerb
Then configure Rubocop:
# inside of your .rubocop.yml
inherit_gem:
accessiblerb: rules.yml
