Clean Code ReSharper Plugin Project

CleanCode

An experiment in trying to automate some of concepts described in Uncle Bob's books on Clean Code.

This is a ReSharper extension to analyse your C# code to highlight a symptom that your code is becoming too complex, is not "clean" enough. Increased complexity can make your code harder to read, understand and maintain. The plugin currently checks:

Too many dependencies - warns when a constructor has too many interfaces passed in.
Excessive indentation - warns if a class contains members with too much indentation.
Too many chained references - warns if an expression has too many chained statements, is potentially violating the Law of Demeter. The check will try to ignore fluent APIs - if the type returned is the same as the type invoked, it doesn't count.
Method too long - warns when a method contains too many statements.
Class too big - warns if a class has too many method declarations.
Too many method parameters - warns if a method has too many parameters.
Method name not meaningful - simple check that a method name is longer than a certain threshold.
Method flag parameters - warns if a boolean or enum method parameter is used in an if statement with the method. This is an indication that the method has more than one responsibility.
Condition complexity - warns if the condition in an if statement contains too many expressions.
Hollow type names - warns if a class has a name with a suffix that is too general, e.g. Handler, Manager, Controller. The list of names is configurable.

The limits used by each analysis are configurable in the options page.
