Overview

Checks for uses of literal strings converted to a symbol where a literal symbol could be used instead.

There are two possible styles for this cop. ‘strict` (default) will register an offense for any incorrect usage. `consistent` additionally requires hashes to use the same style for every symbol key (ie. if any symbol key needs to be quoted it requires all keys to be quoted).

Examples:

# bad
'string'.to_sym
:symbol.to_sym
'underscored_string'.to_sym
:'underscored_symbol'
'hyphenated-string'.to_sym
"string_#{interpolation}".to_sym

# good
:string
:symbol
:underscored_string
:underscored_symbol
:'hyphenated-string'
:"string_#{interpolation}"

EnforcedStyle: strict (default)


# bad
{
  'a': 1,
  "b": 2,
  'c-d': 3
}

# good (don't quote keys that don't require quoting)
{
  a: 1,
  b: 2,
  'c-d': 3
}

EnforcedStyle: consistent


# bad
{
  a: 1,
  'b-c': 2
}

# good (quote all keys if any need quoting)
{
  'a': 1,
  'b-c': 2
}

# good (no quoting required)
{
  a: 1,
  b: 2
}
