Option to Disable Specific Default Rules #232

Closed reskin89 closed 4 years ago

reskin89 commented 4 years ago

Currently there is no option to disable certain rules, only to add specific custom rules or use specific rules. There are a great deal of rules included by default (which is great!) but sometimes some of them would be nice to have off for a short period of time, just to more easily isolate others.

i.e. I was running a test where my schema has no relay in it by default, and I merely wanted to exclude the relay validation rules, and the only way to work around this, was to move the files out of the default rules folder for the time being.

Thanks for opening this issue @reskin89.

The --except ... option was meant to solve this problem. A while back, I had marked it as deprecated, but I'm thinking it might make sense to keep it for just this reason.

Alternatively, you can use the --rules ... option, but it comes with the downside of needing to specify all the rules you want to enable except for the one you want to disable. It feels a bit clunky.

Let me know if that solves your issue.

—except seems like it’d be perfect, especially as the tool evolves and potentially has more rules as the spec evolves

Awesome! 😄 I'll close this then.
