Overview

This cop checks for missing top-level documentation of classes and modules. Classes with no body are exempt from the check and so are namespace modules - modules that have nothing in their bodies except classes, other modules, constant definitions or constant visibility declarations.

The documentation requirement is annulled if the class or module has a “#:nodoc:” comment next to it. Likewise, “#:nodoc: all” does the same for all its children.

Examples:

# bad
class Person
  # ...
end

module Math
end

# good
# Description/Explanation of Person class
class Person
  # ...
end

# allowed
  # Class without body
  class Person
  end

  # Namespace - A namespace can be a class or a module
  # Containing a class
  module Namespace
    # Description/Explanation of Person class
    class Person
      # ...
    end
  end

  # Containing constant visibility declaration
  module Namespace
    class Private
    end

    private_constant :Private
  end

  # Containing constant definition
  module Namespace
    Public = Class.new
  end
