Nickineering's Default Ruff Config

A shareable Ruff starting config designed to get as much as possibly from Ruff quickly.

Usage

pip install ruff nickineering-ruff-config

Pip install this package, Ruff, and create a ruff.toml or another Ruff supported configuration file in your project root. Inside that file extend this config like so:

extend = "nickineering-ruff-base.toml"

# Override these settings, or add your own here

# For example:
target-version = "py312"

[format]
docstring-code-format = false

You will also need to create a script to copy the file, since Ruff does not support extending from a package. This is a Poetry script which does that as an example:

[tool.poetry.scripts]
update-ruff-base = "nickineering_ruff_config:update_ruff_base"

You could then run it with poetry run update-ruff-base. This would need to be re-run to install new versions of this package.

Finally, add the output to your .gitignore so you can rely only on the package.

# Automatically updated configuration file from nickineering-ruff-config
nickineering-ruff-base.toml

It is also recommended to create a Makefile or other command runner to document that the update-ruff-base command must be run when installing the project and so that calls to Ruff run both the lint and format commands. An example Makefile is below:

setup:
    poetry install
    poetry run update-ruff-base

lint:
    ruff format
    ruff check --fix
