Defined in:
lib/rubocop/cop/style/documentation_method.rb

Overview

Checks for missing documentation comment for public methods. It can optionally be configured to also require documentation for non-public methods.

NOTE: This cop allows ‘initialize` method because `initialize` is a special method called from `new`. In some programming languages they are called constructor to distinguish it from method.

Examples:


# bad

class Foo
  def bar
    puts baz
  end
end

module Foo
  def bar
    puts baz
  end
end

def foo.bar
  puts baz
end

# good

class Foo
  # Documentation
  def bar
    puts baz
  end
end

module Foo
  # Documentation
  def bar
    puts baz
  end
end

# Documentation
def foo.bar
  puts baz
end

RequireForNonPublicMethods: false (default)

# good
class Foo
  protected
  def do_something
  end
end

class Foo
  private
  def do_something
  end
end

RequireForNonPublicMethods: true

# bad
class Foo
  protected
  def do_something
  end
end

class Foo
  private
  def do_something
  end
end

# good
class Foo
  protected
  # Documentation
  def do_something
  end
end

class Foo
  private
  # Documentation
  def do_something
  end
end

AllowedMethods: [‘method_missing’, ‘respond_to_missing?’]


# good
class Foo
  def method_missing(name, *args)
  end

  def respond_to_missing?(symbol, include_private)
  end
end
