Dogma

FOR SHAME!

Build Status Coverage Hex version Hex downloads Inline docs

This tool has been deprecated

With the new formatter in Elixir v1.6 I don't think there is a use for Dogma any more. Thanks for using this linter, it's been fun :)

Intro

Dogma is a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true.

It's also a code style linter for Elixir, powered by shame.

About

Dogma is a tool for enforcing a consistent Elixir code style within your project, the idea being that if your code is easier to read, it should also be easier to understand. It's highly configurable so you can adjust it to fit your style guide, but comes with a sane set of defaults so for most people it should just work out-of-the-box. I like to run Dogma on the CI server with the test suite, and consider the build broken if Dogma reports a problem.

If you're interested in a tool more geared towards making style suggestions rather than strictly enforcing your style guide, check out Credo.

Usage

Add Dogma to your Mix dependencies

# mix.exs
def deps do
  [
    {:dogma, "~> 0.1", only: :dev},
  ]
end

Fetch it:

mix deps.get

Run the mix task:

mix dogma

You'll get something like this:

Inspecting 27 files.

.....X..........X..........

27 files, 2 errors!

== lib/dogma/rules.ex ==
23: TrailingBlankLines: Blank lines detected at end of file

== test/dogma/formatter_test.exs ==
9: TrailingWhitespace: Trailing whitespace detected

How handy!

Install Dogma globally

In order to run dogma from any directory build the escript:

mix escript.build

this will create an executable that you can place in your PATH and invoke from anywhere.
