## Introduction
`Too Many Instance Variables` is a special case of `LargeClass`.
## Example
Given this configuration
```yaml
TooManyInstanceVariables:
max_instance_variables: 3
```
and this code:
```Ruby
class TooManyInstanceVariables
def initialize
@arg_1 = :dummy
@arg_2 = :dummy
@arg_3 = :dummy
@arg_4 = :dummy
end
end
```
`reek` would emit the following warning:
```
test.rb -- 5 warnings:
[1]:TooManyInstanceVariables has at least 4 instance variables (TooManyInstanceVariables)
```
## Current Support in `reek`
`reek` only counts the instance variables you use explicitly like in the example above. Class macros like `attr_accessor` are disregarded.
## Configuration
`reek`'s `Too Many Instance Variables` detector offers the [Basic Smell Options](Basic-Smell-Options.md), plus:
| Option | Value | Effect |
| ---------------|-------------|---------|
| max_instance_variables | integer | The maximum number of instance variables that are permitted. Defaults to 4 |
