Overview

Abstract base class for formatter, implements all public API methods.

## Creating Custom Formatter

You can create a custom formatter by subclassing ‘RuboCop::Formatter::BaseFormatter` and overriding some methods or by implementing all the methods by duck typing.

## Using Custom Formatter in Command Line

You can tell RuboCop to use your custom formatter with a combination of ‘–format` and `–require` option. For example, when you have defined `MyCustomFormatter` in `./path/to/my_custom_formatter.rb`, you would type this command:

rubocop --require ./path/to/my_custom_formatter --format MyCustomFormatter

Note: The path passed to ‘–require` is directly passed to `Kernel.require`. If your custom formatter file is not in `$LOAD_PATH`, you need to specify the path as relative path prefixed with `./` explicitly or absolute path.

## Method Invocation Order

For example, when RuboCop inspects 2 files, the invocation order should be like this:

  • ‘#initialize`

  • ‘#started`

  • ‘#file_started`

  • ‘#file_finished`

  • ‘#file_started`

  • ‘#file_finished`

  • ‘#finished`
