RuboCop Cop for Elegant Ruby Code

This is a RuboCop plugin that enforces Elegant Objects principles in Ruby code. Default RuboCop configuration is too permissive, allowing coding practices that lead to unmaintainable code: comments that lie, verbose methods, cryptic variable names, and so on. This plugin configures existing RuboCop cops with stricter settings and adds custom cops for rules that RuboCop doesn't provide out of the box.

First, install it:

gem install rubocop-elegant

Then, format your .rubocop.yml like this:

AllCops:
  EnabledByDefault: true
  NewCops: enable
plugins:
  - rubocop-minitest
  - rubocop-performance
  - rubocop-rake
  - rubocop-elegant # must be the last one

The rubocop-elegant not only provides its own cops, but also configures default ones the "right" way.
