rubo-format - gofmt like ruby code formatting in atom

What is it?

This package is inspired by the way gofmt formats golang code. I wanted something similar for Ruby. This is a simple wrapper around rubocop which formats the current .rb file on save.

rubo-format comes with no settings or configuration options. Formatting is applied when the document is saved.

How do i install it?

Make sure rubocop is installed:

rubocop -v should output the currently installed version of rubocop. rubo-format is tested with rubocop version 0.3 and higher.

If rubocop isn't installed, install it using:

gem install rubocop

Then either install rubo-format using the atom built in package manager or install it from the command line with

apm install rubo-format

How do i use it?

rubo-format does one thing, and one thing well: It optimizes your ruby code on save. It fixes indentation, code design mistakes and improves code readability thanks to rubocop.

Once rubocop and rubo-format is installed. Pop open a .rb file, save it and watch rubo-format take care of the rest.
