gspot/no-trivial-files

Reports files containing only forwarding, aliases, re-exports, or trivial functions. Records, arrays, schema declarations, type predicates, and functions above the statement limit are exempt.

The all config turns it on.

A file that only forwards to another module adds a step to every import and hides where the code lives.

Import re-exported values from the modules that define them. Move aliases and small functions into the modules that use them, then delete the forwarding file.

A file containing only export { value } from "./owner"; reports trivial. Change consumers to import directly from owner, then delete the forwarding file. Set allowIndex: true to permit an index barrel.

Option Type Default What it does
trivialStatements Whole number 2 Functions with this many statements or fewer are reported.
allowIndex true or false false Allow a file named index that only re-exports.
