NoLeftOverPizza

[sparksp]

What the rule should do:

Forbid simple uses of right pizza (|>) that would not add any parens if removed.

What problems does it solve:

Pizza can make the place look untidy.

Example of things the rule would report:

    context |> rememberElmJsonProject project

Example of things the rule would not report:

    getContext model |> rememberElmJsonProject project

    context
        |> rememberElmJsonProject project
        |> rememberSomethingElse something

When (not) to enable this rule:

If you really like pizza then this rule might not be for you. Right pizza are often used to show a pipeline, but right pizza may also be used to change the focus of an expression - this rule may complain about such expressions.

I am looking for:

• A rule called "NoLeftOverPizza". :joy:
• Someone to implement it (I'm happy to mentor and review)

I would like to see this for left pizza. getName <| person can be refactored to getName person.

@lydell elm-review-noleftpizza already offers that with NoLeftPizza.rule NoLeftPizza.Redundant.

Thanks! Given the name – no left pizza – I didn’t expect finding that there. But I guess it makes sense now.

It wasn't there in the first iteration ;)

Back on the subject, I agree with this rule, this is a small pet peeve of mine and I often refactor things to remove this way manually. I think this could be auto-fixed, but I guess it can be a painful one to write. I know that some of my colleagues will be very annoyed at this kind of reports if they need to fix it manually.
