CodeKeeper

The CodeKeeper measures metrics especially about complexity and size of Ruby files, aiming to be a Ruby version of gmetrics

Mesuring metrics leads to keep codebase simple and clean, and I name the gem CodeKeeper.

Now CodeKeeper supports the cyclomatic complexity of a file, the ABC software metric of a file, and class length. The scores are output to stdout of a json or csv format.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'code_keeper'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install code_keeper

Run CodeKeeper and you get scores of metrics from stdout like

$ bundle exec code_keeper app/models/user.rb app/models/admin.rb > metrics.json
$ cat metrics.json
{"cyclomatic_complexity":{"app/models/admin.rb":9,"app/models/user.rb":23},"class_length":{"Admin":86,"User":1475},"abc_metric":{"app/models/admin.rb":76.909,"app/models/user.rb":1546.4155}}

If you need a csv format, change the configuration as explained later.

To measure metrics of all the ruby files recursively in the current directory, run

$ bundle exec code_keeper ./

You can specify a single file or multiple files.

$ bundle exec code_keeper ./dir/a.rb ./dir/b.rb

CodeKeeper makes you configure the following way:

CodeKeeper.configure do |config|
  # If you choose metrics, specify as follows:
  config.metrics = %i(cyclomatic_complexity abc_metric class_length)
  # The number of threads. The default is 2. Executed sequentially if you set 1.
  config.number_of_threads = 4
  # The default is json
  config.format = :json
end

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
