Cognitive Complexity

Cognitive Complexity is a measure of how difficult a unit of code is to intuitively understand. Unlike Cyclomatic Complexity, which determines how difficult your code will be to test, Cognitive Complexity tells you how difficult your code will be to read and comprehend.

A method's cognitive complexity is based on a few simple rules:

• Code is not considered more complex when it uses shorthand that the language provides for collapsing multiple statements into one
• Code is considered more complex for each "break in the linear flow of the code"
• Code is considered more complex when "flow breaking structures are nested"

Rule: comment-format

Enforces formatting rules for single-line comments.

Rationale

Helps maintain a consistent, readable style in your codebase.

Notes

• Has Fix

Config

Four arguments may be optionally provided:

• "check-space" requires that all single-line comments must begin with a space, as in // comment
  • note that for comments starting with multiple slashes, e.g. ///, leading slashes are ignored
  • TypeScript reference comments are ignored completely
• "check-lowercase" requires that the first non-whitespace character of a comment must be lowercase, if applicable.
• "check-uppercase" requires that the first non-whitespace character of a comment must be uppercase, if applicable.
• "allow-trailing-lowercase" allows that only the first comment of a series of comments needs to be uppercase.
  • requires "check-uppercase"
  • comments must start at the same position

Exceptions to "check-lowercase" or "check-uppercase" can be managed with object that may be passed as last argument.

One of two options can be provided in this object:

• "ignore-words" - array of strings - words that will be ignored at the beginning of the comment.
• "ignore-pattern" - string - RegExp pattern that will be ignored at the beginning of the comment.

Rule: quotemark

Enforces quote character for string literals.

Notes

Config

Five arguments may be optionally provided:

• "single" enforces single quotes.
• "double" enforces double quotes.
• "backtick" enforces backticks.
• "jsx-single" enforces single quotes for JSX attributes.
• "jsx-double" enforces double quotes for JSX attributes.
• "avoid-template" forbids single-line untagged template strings that do not contain string interpolations. Note that backticks may still be used if "avoid-escape" is enabled and both single and double quotes are present in the string (the latter option takes precedence).
• "avoid-escape" allows you to use the "other" quotemark in cases where escaping would normally be required. For example, [true, "double", "avoid-escape"] would not report a failure on the string literal 'Hello "World"'.

Rule: prefer-const

Requires that variable declarations use const instead of let and var if possible.

If a variable is only assigned to once when it is declared, it should be declared using 'const'

Notes

• Has Fix

Config

An optional object containing the property "destructuring" with two possible values:

• "any" (default) - If any variable in destructuring can be const, this rule warns for those variables.
• "all" - Only warns if all variables in destructuring can be const.

Examples

"prefer-const": true

"prefer-const": true,[object Object]

Schema

{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "destructuring": {
      "type": "string",
      "enum": [
        "all",
        "any"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Rule: comment-format

Enforces formatting rules for single-line comments.

Rationale

Helps maintain a consistent, readable style in your codebase.

Notes

• Has Fix

Config

Four arguments may be optionally provided:

• "check-space" requires that all single-line comments must begin with a space, as in // comment
  • note that for comments starting with multiple slashes, e.g. ///, leading slashes are ignored
  • TypeScript reference comments are ignored completely
• "check-lowercase" requires that the first non-whitespace character of a comment must be lowercase, if applicable.
• "check-uppercase" requires that the first non-whitespace character of a comment must be uppercase, if applicable.
• "allow-trailing-lowercase" allows that only the first comment of a series of comments needs to be uppercase.
  • requires "check-uppercase"
  • comments must start at the same position

Exceptions to "check-lowercase" or "check-uppercase" can be managed with object that may be passed as last argument.

One of two options can be provided in this object:

• "ignore-words" - array of strings - words that will be ignored at the beginning of the comment.
• "ignore-pattern" - string - RegExp pattern that will be ignored at the beginning of the comment.

Examples

"comment-format": true,check-space,check-uppercase,allow-trailing-lowercase

"comment-format": true,check-lowercase,[object Object]

"comment-format": true,check-lowercase,[object Object]

Rule: quotemark

Enforces quote character for string literals.

Notes

• Has Fix

Config

Five arguments may be optionally provided:

• "single" enforces single quotes.
• "double" enforces double quotes.
• "backtick" enforces backticks.
• "jsx-single" enforces single quotes for JSX attributes.
• "jsx-double" enforces double quotes for JSX attributes.
• "avoid-template" forbids single-line untagged template strings that do not contain string interpolations. Note that backticks may still be used if "avoid-escape" is enabled and both single and double quotes are present in the string (the latter option takes precedence).
• "avoid-escape" allows you to use the "other" quotemark in cases where escaping would normally be required. For example, [true, "double", "avoid-escape"] would not report a failure on the string literal 'Hello "World"'.

Examples

"quotemark": true,single,avoid-escape,avoid-template

"quotemark": true,single,jsx-double

Schema

{
  "type": "array",
  "items": {
    "type": "string",

Rule: prefer-conditional-expression

Recommends to use a conditional expression instead of assigning to the same thing in each branch of an if statement.

Rationale

This reduces duplication and can eliminate an unnecessary variable declaration.

Config

If check-else-if is specified, the rule also checks nested if-else-if statements.

Examples

"prefer-conditional-expression": true

"prefer-conditional-expression": true,check-else-if

Schema

{
  "type": "string",
