Is there any way to run codemetrics on all files in workspace? #32

Is there any way to run codemetrics on all files in workspace? And/or integrate it into a es/ts linters, webpack?

kisstkondoros commented 7 years ago

At the moment no, however one can build a webpack plugin using tsmetrics-core.

I can not support You with that now, but I'll come back to this request in about a week or two (I'll be offline for some days).

So finally I had some hours trying a few things out:

running codemetrics on all files in the workspace is not possible at the moment, and even if it would run it would just populate the "problems view", I see not much benefit for this
writing an es/ts linter plugin is a nice idea, I might try it later on, but it seems to be complicated at the first glance
webpack plugin, with this one I've messed around, I was wondering about publish it on npm, but at the moment it does not adds any value to the development process I think. Even if You integrate it in Your build, what's the benefit? Do you have an idea what should it do in addition? Highlight problematic files or parts of files?

Well the purpose of this tool would be similar to any other linter - quality control of the code on compilation time. So an output should contain, all code pointers to where code is too complicated. Config should allow to set threshold of levels of complexity and prefilter output based on those levels.

Well, that's fair enough, but sometimes it's ok that something is complicated (high complexity) and showing it always might get annoying. I'll publish the existing stuff to npm with the suggested additional filtering options. I'll post a link here of the new repo and we can iterate over the idea further there :-)

So here it is: https://github.com/kisstkondoros/tsmetrics-webpack-plugin Also as an npm package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/tsmetrics-webpack-plugin

I'm closing this issue now, but feel free to open new ones in the linked repo 🎆
