eslint-plugin-comment-length

ESLint rules that limits the line length of your comments.

This project aims to ease the process of writing long comments where each line needs to be cropped to a specific line length. Think of the eslint rule max-len with "comments" enabled while also having the benefit of auto-fixing issues.

The plugin is in its early stages and has only been tested with limited use cases. As such, the plugin will probably not work with comments "that matters" such as JSDoc comments.

NB: Rules will not apply to comments that are not on their own lines and comments that include the strings eslint-disable-* and stylelint-disable-* to avoid breaking functionality.

Installation

yarn add --dev eslint-plugin-comment-length

Usage

Add the following to your .eslintrc configuration:

{
  "extends": [
    "plugin:comment-length/recommended"
  ]
}

Rules

limit-single-line-comments

Locates single line commments, i.e. // comment, and ensures that each line never exceeds the configured length.

When a line has been exceeded then auto-fixes can be applied which will attempt to combine logical groups of single-line comments and reformatting these to ensure that each line is below the configured max length.

Only line-breaks are considered as splits.

limit-multi-line-comments

Locates multi line comments, i.e. /* comment */ and ensures that each line in the comment never exceeds the configured length.
