If you do some Python coding, you might be familiar with Ruff, a code quality control tool for Python >= 3.7, also known as a linter.
I’ve been using it since the beginning of the year in my Visual Studio Code, and it’s capable of doing the same job as a bunch of other tools like Flake8, isort, and even Black. So, you can replace all those tools with Ruff, which makes things simpler.
One of my favorite features in Ruff is the autofix. Basically, when it finds an error in your code, it can fix it on its own. And when it can’t, it provides super clear explanations so you can understand what’s going on.
It’s also incredibly fast. The developers used Rust, a programming language known for its speed, to make it analyze your code in record time. We’re talking 10 to 100 times faster than other linters on the market. It’s impressive!
The tool checks more than 500 different rules to ensure your code is top-notch, and you can configure it however you want, enabling or disabling rules, changing parameters, and more. It adapts to your coding style.
There’s no reason to hesitate, and installing it is simple. Just go to the Ruff website or the Visual Studio Code marketplace to download it, or use this command for those who prefer the command line:
pip install ruffYour code will thank you, and you’ll definitely love it!
