# Snuffle

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.

## TODO

* Ignore data clumps called in "loose" class methods (e.g. attr_accessor)
* Output files in folder hierarchy that mirrors source files
