Overview

This cop checks for memoized methods whose instance variable name does not match the method name.

This cop can be configured with the EnforcedStyleForLeadingUnderscores directive. It can be configured to allow for memoized instance variables prefixed with an underscore. Prefixing ivars with an underscore is a convention that is used to implicitly indicate that an ivar should not be set or referencd outside of the memoization method.

Examples:

EnforcedStyleForLeadingUnderscores: disallowed (default)

# bad
# Method foo is memoized using an instance variable that is
# not `@foo`. This can cause confusion and bugs.
def foo
  @something ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

# good
def _foo
  @foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

# good
def foo
  @foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

# good
def foo
  @foo ||= begin
    calculate_expensive_thing
  end
end

# good
def foo
  helper_variable = something_we_need_to_calculate_foo
  @foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing(helper_variable)
end

EnforcedStyleForLeadingUnderscores: required

# bad
def foo
  @something ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

# bad
def foo
  @foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

# good
def foo
  @_foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

# good
def _foo
  @_foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

EnforcedStyleForLeadingUnderscores :optional

# bad
def foo
  @something ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

# good
def foo
  @foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

# good
def foo
  @_foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end

# good
def _foo
  @_foo ||= calculate_expensive_thing
end
