ReadmeScore

Gives a complexity score for a README.

Check scores of any repo in your browser: http://scoreme.report

There's an HTTP API too!

score = ReadmeScore.for(url)
score.total_score
# => 95

Pass in a Github Repo:

score.total_score
# => 95

Pass in HTML:

html = "AFNetworking is a delightful networking library for iOS and Mac OS X...."

# => 95

Configuration

Settings

• ReadmeScore.use_github_api = <boolean> - whether or not to use the Github API when loading a Github repo's readme. If false, will attempt to find the correct readme URL without the API (which could fail unexpectedly). Defaults to true

• ReadmeScore.github_api_token = <token> - a token to use with the Github API. Supercedes the ENV variable.

Environment Variables

ENV	Description
READMESCORE_GITHUB_TOKEN	If scoring a Github repo, ReadmeScore will try to grab the canonical representation via the Github API. By default, unauthenticated requests are limited to 60/hour. Set this env variable to increase that limited to 5k/hour.
