Snuffle

Gem Version

Snuffle analyzes source code to identify "data clumps", clusters of attributes that are often used together. It uses this analysis to propose objects that may be extracted from a given class. It also looks for objects that are hinted at by method names and identifies them as "latent objects". For example, if you have home_address and work_address methods in a User class, Snuffle will tell you that you might want to extract those methods to a latent Address class.

Please note that Snuffle is still pre-release and will not be ready for serious use until it hits version 1.0.0.

Based on an idea developed with Kerri Miller (@kerrizor).
