class Ameba::Rule::Style::RedundantNext

Overview

A rule that disallows redundant next expressions. A next keyword allows a block to skip to the next iteration early, however, it is considered redundant in cases where it is the last expression in a block or combines into the node which is the last in a block.

For example, this is considered invalid:

block do |v|
  next v + 1
end
block do |v|
  case v
  when .nil?
    next "nil"
  when .blank?
    next "blank"
  else
    next "empty"
  end
end

And has to be written as the following:

block do |v|
  v + 1
end
block do |v|
  case arg
  when .nil?
    "nil"
  when .blank?
    "blank"
  else
    "empty"
  end
end

Configuration params

  1. allow_multi_next, default: true

Allows end-user to configure whether to report or not the next statements which yield tuple literals i.e.

block do
  next a, b
end

If this param equals to false, the block above will be forced to be written as:

block do
  {a, b}
end
  1. allow_empty_next, default: true

Allows end-user to configure whether to report or not the next statements without arguments. Sometimes such statements are used to yild the nil value explicitly.

block do
  @foo = :empty
  next
end

If this param equals to false, the block above will be forced to be written as:

block do
  @foo = :empty
  nil
end
