Ruby Options

The configuration options for Ruby are listed below.

Collection Type​

Choose the outer collection syntax:

  • array for [ ... ]
  • list for Array[ ... ]

Assign to Variable​

When enabled, output is assigned to a named variable like:

data = [
  { 'name' => 'Alice' },
]

Use Variable Name to configure the assigned name.

Output Wrapper​

Choose how the generated collection is wrapped:

  • plain for normal Ruby output (assignment if enabled)
  • rspec-let for let(:name) do ... end output

Number Convert​

When enabled, numeric-looking values are quoted as strings.

When disabled, numeric-looking values are emitted as numeric literals.

Hash Key Style​

Controls hash key syntax when Anonymous Objects is enabled:

  • string for 'name' => 'Alice'
  • symbol for name: 'Alice'

Anonymous Objects​

When enabled, each row is output as a hash (map/dictionary equivalent).

When disabled, each row is output as an instantiated object, and a class definition is included.

Use Object Name to configure the class name when anonymous objects are disabled.

Object Representation​

When Anonymous Objects is disabled, choose the row object style:

  • class generates a class with attr_accessor and initialize
  • struct generates Struct.new(...)
  • data generates Data.define(...)

Field Name Style​

Controls how Ruby field names are generated for object fields and hash keys:

  • preserve keeps source header style (sanitized for valid Ruby identifiers)
  • snake_case converts names to snake_case before sanitization

Pretty Print​

When enabled, output uses line breaks and indentation.

Hash Pretty Style​

Controls formatting of anonymous hash rows when pretty print is enabled:

  • compact keeps each hash on one line
  • aligned renders multi-line hashes with aligned entries

Delimiter​

Choose indentation delimiter:

  • tab
  • space
  • custom value

For custom value, set Custom Delimiter.
