Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

eslint-formatter-complexity

This is an eslint formatter that generates an ordered list of the most complex files in your codebase.

CircleCI

Installation and usage

To install eslint-formatter-complexity

npm install --save-dev eslint-formatter-complexity

Running on CLI

The easiest way to execute the formatter from the CLI is using npx

# run eslint on current directory using the `eslint-formatter-complexity` formatter
npx eslint -f complexity .

One alternate method that will work on the CLI is

./node_modules/.bin/eslint -f complexity .

As an npm script

Use the following configuration in your package.json. The optional trailing || true will swallow any errors generated by eslint, it is not necessary to include this.

{
    "scripts": {
        "complex": "eslint -f complexity . || true"
    }
}

You can run the following command on the CLI

npm run complex

How does it work?

The formatter receives the eslint results, finds the complexity metric related rules that have been broken (see below) filtering out any others, sorts the offending files in order according to how many errors and/or warnings were generated, and outputs the list to the console. This differs greatly from the standard eslint output which just lists the files and their broken rules as they are passed to it based on file structure.

A typical output from the formatter is shown below.

The output below is the result of running npx eslint -f ./src/index.js . in this repo.

The output is also saved to a JSON file at ./complexity/report.json

The eslint-formatter-complexity uses the count of violations of the rules listed below to rank each file. You will need to configure eslint to check at least one of the following complexity rules, as the formatter does not provide the configuration to eslint.

An example rules section for .eslintrc.js is shown below - you should adjust the rule configuration to suit your team.

{
    "rules": {
        'complexity': ['warn', 8],
        'max-params': ['warn', 4],
        'max-statements': ['warn', 10],
        'max-statements-per-line': [
            'error',
            {
                max: 1,
            },
        ],
        'max-nested-callbacks': ['warn', 2],
        'max-depth': [
            'warn',
            {
                max: 2,
            },
        ],
        'max-lines': ['warn', 80],
    },
}

Cyclomatic complexity

Any errors or warnings that are generated as a result of cyclomatic complexity - the eslint rule, complexity - are weighted with a higher importance, pushing any files with cyclomatic complexity higher in the list.

The image above is generated from the example code files provided in the example folder. You can see that the file a.notsobad.js has 1 warning and 1 error and should therefore be listed above the file c.cyclomatic.js which has just one error. However, the error comes from cyclomatic complexity and is thus weighted more important resulting in the file appearing higher in the list.

Configuration

This initial version has no configuration options. In future releases it is planned to add configuration that will allow you to

  1. choose list of rules that will be used to order the files
  2. output list in different formats : plain text, JSON, and possibly HTML
  3. limit the number of files reported ie. top 5 complex files instead of every file

In theory, the first configuration option would allow you to sort the files by violation of any eslint rule, not just complexity oriented rules.
