Line length

`Set` doesn't have a `length` property, but it does have a `size` property, instead. We can use this to check if an array contains duplicates.

MD013 - Line length

Tags: line_length

Aliases: line-length Parameters: linelength, codeblocks, tables (number; default 80, boolean; default true)

This rule is triggered when there are lines that are longer than the configured line length (default: 80 characters). To fix this, split the line up into multiple lines.

This rule has an exception where there is no whitespace beyond the configured line length. This allows you to still include items such as long URLs without being forced to break them in the middle.

You also have the option to exclude this rule for code blocks and tables. To do this, set the code_blocks and/or tables parameters to false.

Code blocks are included in this rule by default since it is often a requirement for document readability, and tentatively compatible with code rules. Still, some languages do not lend themselves to short lines.

More complex data, such as objects, can't be compared using equality comparison, so we need to use a function to check for duplicates. `Set` objects are not much use here, so we can use `Array.prototype.reduce()` and `Array.prototype.some()` to manually populate a new array with only the unique values. Using array methods, we can also check if an array contains duplicates, or remove all values that appear more than once.

A `Set` **cannot contain duplicate values** and can be easily initialized from the values of an array. Then, as it is **iterable** in itself, we can use the spread operator (`...`) to convert it back to an array of just the unique values.

Removing duplicates from an array in JavaScript can be done in a variety of ways, such as using `Array.prototype.reduce()`, `Array.prototype.filter()` or even a simple `for` loop. But there's a much simpler way to do it, using the built-in `Set` object.

We can also do the opposite, and remove all values that appear only once. In this case the two indices have to be the same. Notice that using a `Set` for this operation will drop duplicates from the result.

If we want to keep only values that are not duplicated, we can use the `Array.prototype.filter()` method. Elements that appear more than once have to appear in **at least two different indexes**, so we can use `Array.prototype.indexOf()` and `Array.prototype.lastIndexOf()` to check for this. If we expect the array to have many duplicate values, creating a `Set` from it first may improve performance.

MD002 - First header should be a top level header

Tags: headers

Aliases: first-header-h1

Parameters: level (number; default 1)

This rule is triggered when the first header in the document isn't a h1 header:

## This isn't a H1 header

### Another header

The first header in the document should be a h1 header:

# Start with a H1 header

## Then use a H2 for subsections

There are no issues that match your filters.
