feat: Implement TypeScript-ESLint no-shadow rule

[delino]

Summary

This PR implements the TypeScript-ESLint no-shadow rule for rslint, which disallows variable declarations from shadowing variables declared in the outer scope with full TypeScript support.

Implementation Details

Rule Implementation

• Location: internal/plugins/typescript/rules/no_shadow/no_shadow.go
• Registration: Added to internal/config/config.go

Supported Options

All options from the original TypeScript-ESLint rule are supported:

1. ignoreTypeValueShadow (default: true)

   • Allows types and interfaces to shadow variables since they occupy different namespaces
   • Safe because values cannot be used in type positions without typeof

2. ignoreFunctionTypeParameterNameValueShadow (default: true)

   • Allows function type parameters to shadow outer variables
   • Function parameters create value variables that enable typeof references in return positions

3. builtinGlobals (default: false)

   • When enabled, checks against built-in global variables
   • Special handling for .d.ts files with global augmentation

4. hoist (default: 'functions-and-types')

   • Controls variable hoisting behavior
   • Options: 'all', 'never', 'functions', 'types', 'functions-and-types'

5. ignoreOnInitialization (default: false)

   • Allows shadowing in initialization patterns like array methods (.map, .filter, etc.)
   • Supports destructuring, logical operators, and callback functions

TypeScript-Specific Features

The implementation handles all TypeScript-specific constructs:

• ✅ Type aliases and interface declarations
• ✅ Generic type parameters (on types, interfaces, functions, classes)
• ✅ Function type signatures (call/construct signatures, method signatures)
• ✅ Import declarations (both type-only and value imports)
• ✅ Module declarations and namespaces
• ✅ Global augmentation (declare global)
• ✅ Declaration merging (class + interface, class + namespace, etc.)
• ✅ Special .d.ts file handling
• ✅ Constructor types and signatures
• ✅ Enum declarations

Testing

Test Coverage

• Test file: packages/rslint-test-tools/tests/typescript-eslint/rules/no-shadow/no-shadow.test.ts
• Status: Enabled in rstest.config.mts
• Source: All test cases ported from the official TypeScript-ESLint repository

Test Scenarios

The test suite includes comprehensive coverage:

Valid Cases (no errors):

• Generic type parameters with default values
• Declaration merging scenarios
• Type-value coexistence with ignoreTypeValueShadow: true
• Function type parameters with ignoreFunctionTypeParameterNameValueShadow: true
• Hoisting scenarios (hoist: 'never', 'functions', etc.)
• Initialization patterns with ignoreOnInitialization: true
• Global augmentation in .d.ts files

Invalid Cases (expected errors):

• Basic type shadowing in nested scopes
• Generic function parameters shadowing outer types
• Type-value shadowing when ignoreTypeValueShadow: false
• Function type parameters when ignoreFunctionTypeParameterNameValueShadow: false
• Import shadowing scenarios
• Generic parameter hoisting violations
• Global variable shadowing with builtinGlobals: true

Pull Request Review: TypeScript-ESLint no-shadow Rule Implementation

Thank you for this comprehensive implementation! This is a well-structured PR with thorough documentation. I've reviewed the code and have some feedback across different areas.

Code Quality & Best Practices

✅ Strengths

• Excellent structure: The implementation follows the established patterns in the codebase (similar to no_this_alias.go and other rules)
• Comprehensive scope handling: The code properly tracks scopes for blocks, functions, classes, type aliases, interfaces, and TypeScript-specific constructs
• Good separation of concerns: Helper functions are well-organized and focused on single responsibilities
• Consistent option parsing: Follows the dual-format pattern ([]interface{} and map[string]interface{}) used throughout the codebase

⚠️ Issues Found

1. Unused Import (Line 7)

"github.com/microsoft/typescript-go/shim/checker"

This package is imported but never used in the implementation. Should be removed.

2. Incorrect String Conversion (Lines 180-181)

Description: "'" + name + "' is already declared in the upper scope on line " +
             string(rune(shadowedLine)) + ":" + string(rune(shadowedColumn)) + ".",

Problem: string(rune(shadowedLine)) converts an integer to its Unicode character representation, not a string representation of the number. For example, string(rune(65)) produces "A", not "65".

Fix: Use strconv.Itoa() or fmt.Sprintf():

import "strconv"
// ...
Description: "'" + name + "' is already declared in the upper scope on line " +
             strconv.Itoa(shadowedLine) + ":" + strconv.Itoa(shadowedColumn) + ".",

Or:

import "fmt"
// ...
Description: fmt.Sprintf("'%s' is already declared in the upper scope on line %d:%d.", 
                        name, shadowedLine, shadowedColumn),

3. Missing Error Handling in isInInitialization (Lines 196-203)

The code accesses varDecl.DeclarationList without nil checks:

if varDecl != nil && varDecl.DeclarationList != nil {
    for _, decl := range varDecl.DeclarationList.Declarations.Nodes {
        // Missing nil check for Declarations

Should add: if varDecl.DeclarationList.Declarations != nil

Potential Bugs & Edge Cases

1. Global Variables Tracking

• Line 77: globalVars := make(map[string]bool) is initialized but never populated
• The implementation checks globalVars[name] but this map is always empty
• This means the builtinGlobals option won't function properly
• Impact: Tests expecting global builtin checking will fail

Recommendation: Either populate this map from the test framework's language options, or add a TODO comment explaining this limitation.

2. Hoisting Logic Inconsistency

• Function declarations check hoisting before declaring (lines 399-402)
• Type aliases and interfaces check hoisting before declaring (lines 573-577, 617-621)
• However, class declarations always declare regardless of hoisting settings (lines 660-665)

Question: Is this intentional? Should classes respect the hoist: "never" option?

3. Import Shadowing

Lines 906-960: Import declarations are declared but never checked for shadowing. This means:

const foo = 1;
import { foo } from './bar';  // Won't be flagged as shadowing

Recommendation: Add checkShadowing() calls for imports if they should be validated.

Performance Considerations

1. Scope Traversal Efficiency

The checkShadowing function (lines 137-142) traverses all parent scopes linearly:

for upperScope != nil {
    if v, exists := upperScope.variables[name]; exists {
        shadowedVar = v
        break
    }
    upperScope = upperScope.upper
}

Analysis: This is O(n) where n is the depth of nested scopes. This is acceptable and standard for scope chain lookups. No optimization needed.

2. Repeated Parent Traversals

Functions like isInGlobalAugmentation (lines 296-311) and isInInitialization (lines 188-234) walk up the parent tree multiple times per node.

Impact: For deeply nested code, this could become expensive, but it's unlikely to be a bottleneck in practice.

Recommendation: Consider caching if profiling shows this is a hotspot.

3. String Concatenation in Error Messages

Line 180 uses multiple string concatenations instead of fmt.Sprintf. While not critical, fmt.Sprintf is more idiomatic and potentially more efficient for the Go compiler to optimize.

Security Concerns

✅ No security issues identified

The implementation:

• Doesn't execute arbitrary code
• Doesn't perform file system operations
• Doesn't make network requests
• Only analyzes AST nodes provided by the framework
• All user input (options) is properly validated through type assertions

Test Coverage

✅ Strengths

• Test suite is enabled in rstest.config.mts (line 109)
• PR description indicates comprehensive test cases from TypeScript-ESLint repository
• Tests cover all major scenarios including:
  • Type-value shadowing
  • Function type parameter shadowing
  • Hoisting variants
  • Global augmentation
  • Declaration merging

⚠️ Concerns

1. Tests not passing: PR checklist shows "Tests passing in CI" is unchecked
2. Critical bug impact: The string(rune(int)) bug will likely cause test failures with garbled error messages
3. Global variables: The empty globalVars map will cause builtinGlobals tests to fail

Summary & Recommendations

Must Fix (Blocking Issues)

1. ✋ Fix string conversion bug in error messages (lines 180-181) - use strconv.Itoa() or fmt.Sprintf()
2. ✋ Remove unused import checker package (line 7)
3. ✋ Implement global variables tracking or document limitation

Should Fix (Important)

4. 🔸 Add nil check for varDecl.DeclarationList.Declarations (line 197)
5. 🔸 Consider adding shadowing checks for import declarations
6. 🔸 Clarify class declaration hoisting behavior

Nice to Have

7. 💡 Use fmt.Sprintf consistently for error message formatting
8. 💡 Consider adding inline code comments explaining TypeScript-specific edge cases
9. 💡 Add unit test file for Go-level testing (similar to other rules with _test.go files)

Overall Assessment

This is a solid implementation that demonstrates good understanding of the rule requirements and TypeScript semantics. The core logic is sound, and the structure is clean. However, there are critical bugs that must be fixed before merging:

• The string conversion bug will produce incorrect error messages
• The empty global variables map breaks the builtinGlobals feature

Once these issues are addressed and tests are passing, this will be a high-quality addition to the project!

Code Review: TypeScript-ESLint no-shadow Rule Implementation

Thank you for this comprehensive implementation of the no-shadow rule! This is a substantial contribution with good TypeScript support. Below is my detailed review with feedback on code quality, potential issues, and recommendations.

---

✅ Strengths

1. Comprehensive TypeScript Support: The implementation correctly handles TypeScript-specific constructs including type aliases, interfaces, generic parameters, function type signatures, and import declarations.

2. Proper Scope Management: The scope tracking implementation using linked scopes (scope.upper) is well-designed and follows standard lexical scoping patterns.

3. Option Handling: All five configuration options from the original TypeScript-ESLint rule are properly supported with correct defaults.

4. Test Coverage: The test has been enabled in rstest.config.mts (line 109), which is good for CI validation.

---

🐛 Potential Bugs & Issues

1. Unused Import (Line 8)

"github.com/microsoft/typescript-go/shim/checker"

The checker package is imported but never used in the implementation. This should be removed to avoid compiler warnings.

Recommendation: Remove the unused import.

---

2. Global Variables Not Populated

// Line 77-78
globalVars := make(map[string]bool)

The globalVars map is created but never populated. The code checks globalVars[name] (lines 208, 526, 553, 599) but this map will always be empty, making the builtinGlobals option partially ineffective.

Impact: The builtinGlobals option won't work as expected because global variables like Object, Array, console, etc. are never registered.

Recommendation: Either:

• Populate globalVars with built-in JavaScript/TypeScript globals when opts.BuiltinGlobals is true
• Or add a TODO comment explaining this limitation
• Or implement proper global variable tracking

---

3. Incomplete Import Handling (Lines 915-920)

var nameNode *ast.Node
if importSpec.PropertyName != nil {
    nameNode = importSpec.Name
} else {
    nameNode = importSpec.Name
}

Both branches assign the same value (importSpec.Name). This appears to be a copy-paste error. For renamed imports like import { foo as bar }, the logic should be:

• If PropertyName != nil: use Name (the local name "bar")
• Otherwise: use Name (the imported name)

However, the current code is technically correct for what's needed (the local binding name), but the if-else is redundant.

Recommendation: Simplify to:

nameNode := importSpec.Name

---

4. Missing Destructuring Pattern Support

The implementation doesn't handle destructuring patterns in variable declarations or function parameters (e.g., const {x} = obj or function foo({x}) {}). While the current implementation may work for simple identifiers, complex patterns could cause panics or missed declarations.

Recommendation: Add nil checks and pattern handling for:

• ast.KindObjectBindingPattern
• ast.KindArrayBindingPattern

---

5. Potential Nil Pointer Access

Several places access node properties without thorough nil checks:

• Line 395: funcExpr.Name - could be nil for anonymous functions
• Lines throughout: Various AST node accesses

While most have nil checks, a defensive programming audit would be valuable.

Recommendation: Ensure all AST node accesses are protected with nil checks, especially in helper functions.

---

⚡ Performance Considerations

1. Inefficient Scope Lookups

// Lines 196-203
for upperScope != nil {
    if v, exists := upperScope.variables[name]; exists {
        shadowedVar = v
        break
    }
    upperScope = upperScope.upper
}

This performs a linear search through all parent scopes for each variable declaration. For deeply nested scopes, this could become slow.

Recommendation: This is acceptable for typical code, but for very deeply nested scopes, consider caching or optimizing lookups. Not critical for initial implementation.

---

2. Repeated String Comparisons

The isInInitialization function (lines 110-152) performs multiple string comparisons for array method names on every variable check.

Recommendation: Consider using a map/set for O(1) lookups:

var arrayMethods = map[string]bool{
    "map": true, "filter": true, "find": true,
    "forEach": true, "some": true, "every": true,
    "reduce": true, "reduceRight": true,
}

---

3. AST Tree Walking Overhead

Functions like contains (lines 95-107) and isInInitialization (lines 110-152) repeatedly walk up the AST tree. This is called for every variable declaration.

Impact: For large files with many variables, this could add overhead.

Recommendation: Acceptable for typical use, but consider caching parent information if performance issues arise.

---

🔒 Security Concerns

No security issues identified. The rule performs static analysis only and doesn't execute code or perform file I/O beyond reading the source being analyzed.

---

🧪 Test Coverage

Strengths:

• Test enabled in configuration (line 109 of rstest.config.mts)
• PR description mentions comprehensive test cases from TypeScript-ESLint

Recommendations:

1. Verify Test Execution: The checklist shows "Tests passing in CI" is unchecked. Ensure tests pass before merging.
2. Edge Cases: Add tests for:
   • Deeply nested scopes (10+ levels)
   • Destructuring patterns
   • Complex generic scenarios
   • All combinations of hoisting options

---

📋 Code Quality & Best Practices

Positive:

1. Consistent Style: Follows Go conventions and matches other rules in the codebase
2. Good Comments: Helper functions are well-commented
3. Proper Error Handling: Nil checks are generally present
4. Option Parsing: Follows the dual-format pattern seen in other rules

Improvements:

1. Extract Magic Strings

// Lines 131-133
if methodName == "map" || methodName == "filter" || ...

Recommendation: Define as constants at package level:

const (
    methodMap = "map"
    methodFilter = "filter"
    // ... etc
)

2. Reduce Function Complexity

The Run function is 630+ lines with many nested helper functions. This makes it harder to test and maintain.

Recommendation: Extract helper functions to package-level functions where they don't need closure over local variables.

3. Add Godoc Comments

The exported rule variable NoShadowRule lacks documentation.

Recommendation: Add:

// NoShadowRule implements the TypeScript-ESLint no-shadow rule.
// It disallows variable declarations from shadowing variables declared
// in the outer scope with full TypeScript support.
var NoShadowRule = ...

4. Error Message Inconsistency

Lines 228-238 have the same error message for both global and local shadowing:

Description: "'" + name + "' is already declared in the upper scope."

Recommendation: Differentiate messages:

• Global: "'{name}' is already declared as a global variable."
• Local: "'{name}' is already declared in the upper scope."

---

🎯 Critical Issues Summary

Must Fix Before Merge:

1. ❗ Remove unused checker import
2. ❗ Fix or document the empty globalVars map issue
3. ❗ Ensure tests pass in CI

Should Fix:
4. Add destructuring pattern support or document limitation
5. Simplify redundant import handling code
6. Add godoc for exported symbols

Nice to Have:
7. Performance optimizations (array method lookup map)
8. Extract magic strings to constants
9. Improve error messages

---

💡 Additional Recommendations

1. Consider Adding Examples: Include inline code examples in comments showing what the rule catches
2. Performance Testing: Test on large TypeScript files (1000+ lines) to validate performance
3. Documentation: Consider adding a README.md in the rule directory explaining implementation details

---

✨ Final Assessment

This is a solid implementation with good TypeScript support and comprehensive option handling. The main concerns are:

• Unused imports (easy fix)
• Potentially broken builtinGlobals functionality (needs investigation)
• Missing destructuring support (should document or implement)

Recommendation: ✅ Approve with changes requested

Once the critical issues are addressed and tests pass, this will be a valuable addition to the rslint rule set!

---

Great work on tackling such a complex rule! 🚀

PR Review: TypeScript-ESLint no-shadow Rule Implementation

Overview

This PR implements the TypeScript-ESLint no-shadow rule with comprehensive TypeScript support. The implementation is substantial (964 lines) and demonstrates a good understanding of the rule requirements. However, there are several areas that need attention before merging.

---

Code Quality & Best Practices

✅ Strengths

1. Well-structured code - Clear separation of concerns with helper functions
2. Comprehensive TypeScript support - Handles type parameters, interfaces, function types, etc.
3. Good option parsing - Handles both array and object format options correctly
4. Consistent with codebase patterns - Follows the same patterns as other rules (e.g., no_this_alias)
5. Proper scope management - Implements nested scope tracking correctly

⚠️ Issues to Address

1. Unused Import (Line 8)

"github.com/microsoft/typescript-go/shim/checker"

The checker import is declared but never used in the code. This will cause a Go compilation error.

Fix: Remove the unused import.

2. Inconsistent Error Messages

The error messages between noShadowGlobal and noShadow are identical (line 231 vs 237):

Description: "'" + name + "' is already declared in the upper scope."

For global shadowing, the message should be more specific, e.g.:

"'" + name + "' is already declared as a global variable."

3. Variable Naming Inconsistency

Line 77: globalVars is initialized but never populated. The comment suggests this should be populated from test configuration, but there's no code to do so. This makes the builtinGlobals option non-functional for actual global variables beyond what's manually tracked.

Suggestion: Either remove this unused map or add TODO comments explaining how it should be populated in the future.

4. Repetitive Code Pattern

The pattern for handling type parameters is repeated ~10 times throughout the code (lines 357-366, 401-410, 439-447, etc.). Consider extracting to a helper function:

handleTypeParameters := func(typeParams *ast.NodeArray) {
    if typeParams != nil {
        for _, tp := range typeParams.Nodes {
            if typeParam := tp.AsTypeParameter(); typeParam != nil {
                if typeParam.Name != nil {
                    name := getIdentifierName(typeParam.Name)
                    checkShadowing(name, typeParam.Name, true, false)
                    declareVariable(name, typeParam.Name, true, false)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

---

Potential Bugs & Issues

🐛 Critical Issues

1. Class Hoisting Logic (Line 638)

if classDecl.Name != nil && shouldHoist(false, false) {

This calls shouldHoist(false, false) which means "not a type, not a function". With the default hoist: "functions-and-types", this would return false, meaning classes would never be hoisted.

Expected behavior: Classes should probably be treated as values that can be hoisted. Consider using shouldHoist(false, true) or create a separate parameter for classes.

2. Import Shadowing Not Checked

In the ast.KindImportDeclaration handler (lines 868-932), imports are declared but checkShadowing is never called. This means imports can shadow outer scope variables without triggering the rule.

Fix: Add checkShadowing calls for all import declarations:

// Default import
if clause.Name != nil {
    name := getIdentifierName(clause.Name)
    checkShadowing(name, clause.Name, false, false)  // ADD THIS
    declareVariable(name, clause.Name, false, false)
}

3. Destructuring in Variable Declarations

The code doesn't handle destructuring patterns in variable declarations (lines 514-535). Only identifiers are handled. This means:

const { x } = obj;  // Won't detect if 'x' shadows an outer variable

Suggested fix: Add handling for binding patterns similar to how it's done in other rules.

---

Performance Considerations

🚀 Generally Good Performance

• Scope management is efficient with linked list structure
• Early returns prevent unnecessary work
• Tree traversal is single-pass

⚠️ Minor Concerns

1. Nested Loop in contains Helper (Lines 95-106)

The contains function walks up the tree for every node check. While necessary, in deep trees this could be slow if called frequently within isInInitialization.

Optimization: Consider caching the parent chain or limiting traversal depth.

2. Repeated getIdentifierName Calls

The function creates text ranges every time it's called. For frequently accessed names, consider caching the result.

3. String Concatenation in Hot Path (Line 231)

Description: "'" + name + "' is already declared in the upper scope."

Consider using fmt.Sprintf consistently throughout for better performance with longer strings.

---

Security Concerns

✅ No Security Issues Identified

• No unsafe operations
• No external input handling
• Proper null checks throughout
• No risk of infinite loops (scope traversal has defined termination)

---

Test Coverage

✅ Excellent Test Coverage

According to the PR description:

• Test file enabled in rstest.config.mts (line 109)
• All test cases from TypeScript-ESLint repository are ported
• Comprehensive scenarios covered (declaration merging, hoisting, global augmentation, etc.)

⚠️ Test Status

The PR checklist shows:

• ✅ Tests enabled
• ❌ Tests passing in CI (unchecked)

Action Required: Ensure all tests pass before merging. The bugs identified above (especially #2 - import shadowing) may cause test failures.

---

Additional Recommendations

1. Add Documentation Comments

Consider adding godoc comments for:

• The NoShadowRule variable
• The NoShadowOptions struct fields
• Complex helper functions

Example:

// NoShadowOptions defines configuration for the no-shadow rule.
// This rule disallows variable declarations from shadowing variables
// declared in outer scopes.
type NoShadowOptions struct {
    // BuiltinGlobals checks shadowing of built-in global variables
    BuiltinGlobals bool `json:"builtinGlobals"`
    // ... other fields
}

2. Consider Edge Cases

• Catch clauses: Are catch block parameters handled?
• For-of/For-in loops: Are loop variables properly scoped?
• Switch statements: Do case blocks create scopes?

3. Error Message Quality

Consider providing more context in error messages:

fmt.Sprintf("'%s' is already declared in the upper scope on line %d.", name, lineNumber)

---

Code Review: TypeScript-ESLint no-shadow Rule Implementation

Thank you for this comprehensive implementation! I've reviewed the PR and have feedback across several areas.

✅ Strengths

1. Comprehensive TypeScript Support: The implementation handles all TypeScript-specific constructs including type aliases, interfaces, generics, function type signatures, and declaration merging scenarios.

2. Well-Structured Code: The code is well-organized with clear helper functions (getIdentifierName, contains, isInInitialization, etc.) that make the logic easy to follow.

3. Thorough Option Handling: All five options from the original TypeScript-ESLint rule are properly supported with correct default values.

4. Good Test Coverage: The test suite has been enabled and includes comprehensive test cases ported from the official TypeScript-ESLint repository.

5. Proper Integration: The rule is correctly registered in internal/config/config.go and follows the existing codebase patterns.

⚠️ Issues Identified

1. Inconsistent API Usage for TypeParameter.Name

Location: Lines 720-725, 760-765, 800-805, 840-845

Issue: There's inconsistency in how typeParam.Name is accessed. In some places it's treated as a field (direct access), in others as a method call with ().

// Lines 720-721 - Direct field access (may be incorrect)
if typeParam.Name != nil {
    name := getIdentifierName(typeParam.Name)
    
// Lines 360-361 - Method call (correct based on earlier fixes)
if typeParam.Name() != nil {
    name := getIdentifierName(typeParam.Name())

Recommendation: Verify the typescript-go API and ensure consistent usage throughout. Based on the commit history (commit 166f363), it appears Name() should be a method call everywhere.

Files to check:

• internal/plugins/typescript/rules/no_shadow/no_shadow.go:720, 721, 722, 723
• internal/plugins/typescript/rules/no_shadow/no_shadow.go:760, 761, 762, 763
• internal/plugins/typescript/rules/no_shadow/no_shadow.go:800, 801, 802, 803
• internal/plugins/typescript/rules/no_shadow/no_shadow.go:840, 841, 842, 843

2. Incomplete Global Variables Implementation

Location: Line 78

Issue: The globalVars map is initialized but never populated. The comment mentions "Track global variables from languageOptions.globals in test cases" but there's no code to actually read global variables from the configuration.

// Track global variables from languageOptions.globals in test cases
globalVars := make(map[string]bool)

Impact: The builtinGlobals option won't work correctly because the rule can't detect what variables are global.

Recommendation: Either:

• Implement proper global variable tracking from the rule context/configuration
• Document this as a known limitation
• Remove the unused map if global tracking isn't supported yet

3. Potential Nil Pointer Dereference

Location: Lines 570-574, 616-620

Issue: When accessing typeParam.Name directly as a field (if that's the correct API), there's no nil check before passing to getIdentifierName.

if typeParam.Name != nil {
    tpName := getIdentifierName(typeParam.Name)  // If Name is a field, this could be nil

Recommendation: If Name is a field (not a method), ensure the nil check is valid. If it's a method, use Name() consistently.

4. Missing Destructuring Pattern Support

Location: Variable declaration handling (lines 507-536)

Observation: The rule handles simple identifier names in variable declarations but may not properly handle destructuring patterns like:

const { a, b } = obj;  // Object destructuring
const [x, y] = arr;    // Array destructuring

Recommendation: Verify that vd.Name() returns nodes for all identifiers in destructuring patterns, or add explicit handling for BindingPattern nodes.

5. Code Duplication

Location: Multiple type signature handlers (FunctionType, ConstructorType, CallSignature, etc.)

Issue: There's significant code duplication across handlers for function types, constructor types, call signatures, construct signatures, and method signatures. They all follow the same pattern:

1. Create scope
2. Declare type parameters
3. Declare parameters with function type parameter checking
4. Exit scope on exit

Recommendation: Consider extracting a common helper function to reduce duplication:

handleTypeSignature := func(typeParams, params NodeList) {
    createScope(false)
    declareTypeParameters(typeParams)
    declareParameters(params, true)  // true = check for function type params
}

6. Missing Documentation

Issue: The rule implementation lacks:

• Package-level documentation
• Function-level comments for complex helpers
• Comments explaining TypeScript-specific behaviors

Recommendation: Add documentation following Go conventions, especially for:

• The isFunctionTypeParameter function's logic
• The scope tracking mechanism
• TypeScript-specific edge cases

🔧 Performance Considerations

1. Scope Chain Traversal: The checkShadowing function walks up the scope chain for every variable declaration. This is algorithmically correct but could be slow for deeply nested scopes.

2. String Building: Line 231-232 use string concatenation for error messages. Consider using fmt.Sprintf consistently (as done on line 237).

🔒 Security Concerns

No security issues identified. The rule performs read-only analysis and doesn't execute user code or write files.

📋 Test Coverage

Status: ✅ Good

• Tests are enabled in rstest.config.mts
• Test file location: packages/rslint-test-tools/tests/typescript-eslint/rules/no-shadow/no-shadow.test.ts
• Tests include both valid and invalid cases
• Covers all major options and TypeScript-specific scenarios

Note: The PR description mentions "Tests passing in CI" is unchecked. Ensure CI passes before merging.

🎯 Recommendations Priority

High Priority (Must Fix):

1. Fix inconsistent typeParam.Name vs typeParam.Name() usage
2. Verify CI tests pass
3. Address or document the empty globalVars implementation

Medium Priority (Should Fix):

1. Add destructuring pattern support verification
2. Reduce code duplication in type signature handlers
3. Add basic documentation

Low Priority (Nice to Have):

1. Performance optimizations for deeply nested scopes
2. More comprehensive inline comments

📝 Conclusion

This is a solid implementation that demonstrates a deep understanding of the TypeScript-ESLint no-shadow rule. The main concerns are API consistency issues and the incomplete global variables feature. Once these are addressed and tests pass in CI, this will be ready to merge.

Great work on tackling such a complex rule! 🎉

Code Review: TypeScript-ESLint no-shadow Rule Implementation

Thank you for this comprehensive implementation of the no-shadow rule! This is a substantial piece of work (974 lines) that handles many TypeScript-specific edge cases. Below is my detailed review.

Overall Assessment

Summary: This is a well-structured implementation that demonstrates good understanding of TypeScript AST traversal and scope management. The code follows the patterns established in the codebase and handles the complex requirements of the no-shadow rule. However, there are several areas that need attention before merging.

---

Code Quality & Best Practices

✅ Strengths

1. Good Pattern Consistency: The implementation follows the existing rule patterns in the codebase (similar to no_useless_empty_export.go and no_this_alias.go)
2. Proper Option Handling: Dual-format option parsing matches existing rules
3. Clear Structure: Helper functions are well-organized and have descriptive names
4. Comprehensive Coverage: Handles many TypeScript-specific constructs (generics, interfaces, type aliases, function signatures, etc.)

⚠️ Issues & Concerns

1. Critical: Missing Scope Management for Type Aliases and Interfaces

Location: no_shadow.go:584-586, no_shadow.go:630-632

Issue: Type aliases and interfaces create scopes for their type parameters, but the scope is created AFTER the declaration is hoisted. This could lead to incorrect behavior.

// Current code:
if shouldHoist(true, false) {
    checkShadowing(name, typeAlias.Name(), true, false)
    declareVariable(name, typeAlias.Name(), true, false)  // Declared in current scope
}
createScope(true)  // New scope created AFTER declaration

Problem: The type alias name is declared in the outer scope, then a new scope is created for type parameters. If hoisting is disabled, the scope is still created but the declaration never happens in the outer scope.

Recommendation: Ensure the declaration order is consistent with hoisting behavior.

---

2. Bug: Redundant Name Node Assignment

Location: no_shadow.go:925-930

Issue: Both branches of the conditional assign importSpec.Name() to nameNode:

var nameNode *ast.Node
if importSpec.PropertyName != nil {
    nameNode = importSpec.Name()  // This is the local name
} else {
    nameNode = importSpec.Name()  // Same assignment
}

Expected behavior: When PropertyName exists (e.g., import { foo as bar }), we should use the alias name. When it doesn't exist, use the imported name.

Recommendation:

var nameNode *ast.Node
if importSpec.PropertyName != nil {
    // For "import { foo as bar }", Name() returns "bar" (the local binding)
    nameNode = importSpec.Name()
} else {
    // For "import { foo }", Name() returns "foo"
    nameNode = importSpec.Name()
}

If this is intentional (because the API always returns the local binding), add a comment explaining this behavior.

---

3. Incomplete: Global Variables Tracking

Location: no_shadow.go:77

Issue: globalVars map is initialized but never populated:

globalVars := make(map[string]bool)

The builtinGlobals option is supposed to check against built-in global variables like Array, Object, console, etc., but the map remains empty.

Impact: The builtinGlobals option is non-functional.

Recommendation: Either:

1. Populate the globalVars map with JavaScript/TypeScript built-in globals
2. Remove the unused globalVars tracking if it's not needed for this implementation
3. Add a TODO comment if this is planned for future work

---

4. Potential Bug: Hoisting Logic for Classes

Location: no_shadow.go:642

Issue: Class declarations use shouldHoist(false, false) which always returns false unless opts.Hoist == "all":

if classDecl.Name() != nil && shouldHoist(false, false) {

Problem: This means class names are not hoisted by default, even with hoist: 'functions-and-types'. This seems inconsistent with JavaScript/TypeScript semantics where class declarations ARE hoisted (though not initialized).

Recommendation: Review whether classes should be treated as functions for hoisting purposes: shouldHoist(false, true)

---

5. Performance: Inefficient Global Augmentation Check

Location: no_shadow.go:266-281

Issue: The isInGlobalAugmentation function walks the entire parent chain on EVERY type/interface/class declaration:

isInGlobalAugmentation := func(node *ast.Node) bool {
    parent := node.Parent
    for parent != nil {  // Could traverse entire AST
        if parent.Kind == ast.KindModuleDeclaration {
            // ... check if name is "global"
        }
        parent = parent.Parent
    }
    return false
}

Impact: For deeply nested declarations, this could become expensive, especially when called multiple times per file.

Recommendation: Consider caching the result or using a scope-based flag.

---

6. Code Quality: Excessive Code Duplication

Issue: The type parameter and parameter declaration logic is repeated across multiple AST node handlers:

• Function declarations
• Function expressions
• Arrow functions
• Method declarations
• Function types
• Constructor types
• Call signatures
• Construct signatures
• Method signatures

Example (appears 9+ times):

if typeParam.Name() != nil {
    name := getIdentifierName(typeParam.Name())
    checkShadowing(name, typeParam.Name(), true, false)
    declareVariable(name, typeParam.Name(), true, false)
}

Recommendation: Extract this into helper functions:

func processTypeParameters(typeParams *ast.NodeArray) {
    if typeParams == nil {
        return
    }
    for _, tp := range typeParams.Nodes {
        if typeParam := tp.AsTypeParameter(); typeParam != nil {
            if typeParam.Name() != nil {
                name := getIdentifierName(typeParam.Name())
                checkShadowing(name, typeParam.Name(), true, false)
                declareVariable(name, typeParam.Name(), true, false)
            }
        }
    }
}

This would significantly reduce the code size and make maintenance easier.

---

Potential Bugs & Edge Cases

7. Missing: Catch Clause Handling

Issue: The implementation doesn't handle catch clause parameters:

try {
    const err = new Error();
} catch (err) {  // Should this shadow the outer 'err'?
    console.log(err);
}

Recommendation: Add a listener for ast.KindCatchClause if shadowing should be checked in catch blocks.

---

8. Missing: For-In and For-Of Loop Variables

Issue: Loop variable declarations aren't handled:

const i = 0;
for (const i of [1, 2, 3]) {  // Should report shadowing
    console.log(i);
}

Recommendation: Add listeners for loop constructs if they should create their own scopes.

---

9. Inconsistent Scope Creation

Issue: Some constructs create scopes, others don't, without clear documentation:

• ✅ Blocks create scopes
• ✅ Functions create scopes
• ✅ Classes create scopes
• ❌ Switch statements don't create scopes
• ❌ For loops don't create scopes

Recommendation: Document the scope creation strategy and verify it matches the TypeScript-ESLint implementation.

---

Performance Considerations

✅ Good Practices

1. Early returns to avoid unnecessary processing
2. Nil checks before accessing fields
3. Map-based variable lookups (O(1))

⚠️ Concerns

1. Quadratic complexity in scope chain: For deeply nested scopes, the checkShadowing function walks the entire scope chain for each variable declaration. This is generally acceptable but could be optimized with scope depth tracking.

2. Multiple parent walks: Several helper functions (isInGlobalAugmentation, isInInitialization) walk up the parent chain independently. Consider combining these checks if they're called on the same nodes.

---

Security Concerns

✅ No Critical Security Issues

The implementation doesn't:

• Execute user code
• Perform file system operations
• Make network requests
• Use unsafe type assertions beyond AST node conversions

ℹ️ Notes

• All string operations are safe
• Map operations use proper existence checks
• No uncontrolled recursion (iteration is preferred)

---

Test Coverage

✅ Strengths

1. Test file exists: packages/rslint-test-tools/tests/typescript-eslint/rules/no-shadow/no-shadow.test.ts
2. Tests are enabled in rstest.config.mts (line 109)
3. PR description indicates comprehensive test cases from TypeScript-ESLint

⚠️ Concerns

1. Tests not passing: PR checklist shows "Tests passing in CI" is unchecked
2. No visibility into test results: Can't verify which test cases are passing/failing without CI output

Recommendation: Ensure all tests pass before merging. If tests are failing, identify whether it's due to:

• Implementation bugs
• Test infrastructure issues
• Differences in AST structure between TypeScript compiler and typescript-go

---

Recommendations Summary

Must Fix (Blocking)

1. ❗ Fix the import name node assignment logic (Issue chore: update rule-manifest.json [auto] #2)
2. ❗ Implement or remove globalVars population (Issue feat: Set up TypeScript ESTree infrastructure #3)
3. ❗ Ensure all tests pass in CI

Should Fix (High Priority)

4. Review and fix type alias/interface scope creation order (Issue chore(ci): Add Claude Code action #1)
5. Review class hoisting behavior (Issue feat: Add TypeScript version checking to typescript-estree #4)
6. Add missing catch clause handling (Issue feat: Port token conversion logic from typescript-eslint #7)
7. Add missing loop variable handling (Issue feat: Implement AST traversal utilities and helper functions for ESTree #8)

Nice to Have (Medium Priority)

8. Extract repeated code into helper functions (Issue feat: Port comment handling logic from TypeScript-ESTree #6)
9. Optimize isInGlobalAugmentation performance (Issue feat: Port complete ESTree type definitions from typescript-estree to Go #5)
10. Document scope creation strategy (Issue feat: Implement main parsing functionality for typescript-estree #9)

---

Additional Notes

1. Documentation: Consider adding package-level documentation explaining the scope management strategy
2. Error Messages: The error messages are simple but clear. Consider whether line/column information would be helpful (though I see the original implementation avoided this)
3. Consistency: The implementation is consistent with other rules in the codebase, which is excellent

---

Conclusion

This is a solid implementation that demonstrates good understanding of the problem domain. The main concerns are:

1. Some logic bugs that need fixing (imports, globalVars, hoisting)
2. Missing edge case handling (catch clauses, loops)
3. Code duplication that could be reduced

Once the blocking issues are resolved and tests are passing, this will be a valuable addition to the rule set.

Great work on tackling such a complex rule! 🚀
