rails_best_practices is a code metric tool that checks the quality of Rails code against a set of best-practice rules. It runs from the command line over a Rails project and reports violations, with support for multiple ORMs and template engines.

Use cases

• check my rails app for code smells and best practice violations
• run static analysis on a ruby on rails codebase
• generate an html report of rails code quality issues
• enforce rails coding conventions in ci
• find bad practices like default_scope or unchecked save calls in rails models

When to choose

• you maintain a ruby on rails project and want automated best-practice checks
• you want a simple command-line code metric tool with html or plain text output
• your project uses activerecord, mongoid, or mongomapper with erb, haml, slim, or rabl templates

When to avoid

• your project is not a rails application
• you need general-purpose ruby linting rather than rails-specific best practices (use rubocop instead)
• you need actively evolving rule sets or modern rails version support guarantees
