Summary

This PR implements skeletal structures for 12 TypeScript-ESLint rules that enforce naming conventions and code style consistency in TypeScript codebases.

Implemented Rules

Naming & Style Rules

  • naming-convention: Comprehensive naming convention enforcement with extensive configuration options

    • Supports multiple selectors (variable, function, class, interface, enum, typeAlias, typeParameter, parameter, property, method)
    • Multiple format options (camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case, UPPER_CASE, and strict variants)
    • Modifier support (private, protected, public, static, readonly, abstract, const, async, exported, global, etc.)
    • Prefix/suffix requirements with proper trimming for format validation
    • Leading/trailing underscore validation options
    • Custom regex pattern support structure
    • Type-specific rules for primitives (array, boolean, function, number, string)
  • camelcase: TypeScript extension of ESLint's camelcase rule

    • Property checking options
    • Ignore destructuring, imports, and globals options
    • Regex pattern allow list
  • member-ordering: Enforce consistent ordering of class and interface members

    • Configurable ordering for classes, class expressions, interfaces, and type literals
    • Support for grouping by accessibility and member type
  • sort-type-constituents: Enforce alphabetically sorted union and intersection types

    • Options for intersection and union type checking
    • Case sensitivity configuration
    • Custom group ordering

Type System Rules

  • no-type-alias: Disallow type aliases with configurable exceptions

    • Granular control over aliases, callbacks, conditional types, constructors, literals, mapped types, tuple types, and generics
    • Each category supports "always", "never", "in-unions", "in-intersections", "in-unions-and-intersections" options
  • consistent-type-assertions: Enforce consistent style for type assertions

    • Choose between "as" and "angle-bracket" styles
    • Object literal type assertion handling ("allow", "allow-as-parameter", "never")

Parameter & Declaration Rules

  • parameter-properties: Enforce consistent style for TypeScript parameter properties

    • Options to prefer "class-property" or "parameter-property" style
  • prefer-namespace-keyword: Prefer 'namespace' over deprecated 'module' keyword

    • Identifies and reports uses of 'module' keyword in non-ambient contexts

Variable Scope Rules (TypeScript Extensions)

  • no-shadow: Prevent variable shadowing with TypeScript-specific handling

    • Type/value shadowing awareness
    • Hoisting options
    • Built-in globals handling
    • Ignore on initialization option
  • no-use-before-define: Prevent use-before-define errors

    • Separate controls for functions, classes, variables, enums, and type aliases
    • Type reference ignoring option
  • no-unused-vars: Detect unused variables with TypeScript support

    • Separate patterns for vars, args, and caught errors
    • Ignore rest siblings option
    • TypeScript type parameter handling
  • no-unused-expressions: Detect unused expressions

    • Short-circuit and ternary operator options
    • Tagged template handling
    • JSX enforcement option

Implementation Status

✅ Complete option parsing structures for all rules
✅ Skeletal implementations with clear TODO comments indicating required logic
✅ Test file stubs created for all rules
✅ All rules properly registered in config.go with imports
✅ Follows existing codebase patterns and architecture

Technical Highlights

  • naming-convention includes complete format checking helpers:

    • isCamelCase(), isStrictCamelCase(), isPascalCase(), isStrictPascalCase(), isSnakeCase(), isUpperCase()
    • checkLeadingUnderscore(), checkTrailingUnderscore() with multiple validation modes
    • checkPrefixSuffix() with proper name trimming for subsequent format validation
  • All rules follow the dual-format options parsing pattern (array and object formats)

  • Comprehensive type safety with Go structs for all option types

  • Ready for full implementation following the established patterns

Next Steps

The skeletal structure provides a solid foundation for:

  1. Implementing core validation logic for each rule
  2. Adding comprehensive test cases covering all configuration options
  3. Implementing auto-fix capabilities where applicable
  4. Porting test suites from TypeScript-ESLint for comprehensive coverage
  5. Adding detailed error messages with specific violation information

Documentation References

Testing

  • Basic test structure in place for all rules
  • Test cases need to be expanded to cover:
    • All configuration options
    • Edge cases and TypeScript-specific scenarios
    • Auto-fix validation (where applicable)

Pull Request Review: TypeScript-ESLint Naming Convention and Code Style Rules

Overview

This PR implements skeletal structures for 12 TypeScript-ESLint rules focused on naming conventions and code style. The PR is well-structured and follows the existing codebase patterns. However, since this is a skeletal implementation, there are important considerations for the full implementation.

✅ Strengths

1. Excellent Code Organization

  • All 12 rules follow a consistent package structure
  • Proper separation of concerns with dedicated packages for each rule
  • Config registration is clean and follows existing patterns

2. Comprehensive Option Parsing

  • Good dual-format support (array and object formats) for options parsing
  • Type-safe configuration structs with appropriate JSON tags
  • Sensible default values for all options

3. Strong Type Definitions

The naming_convention rule has particularly well-designed types:

  • Enums for Format, Selector, Modifier, and UnderscoreOption
  • Proper use of const blocks for type-safe string constants
  • Clear struct definitions with comprehensive coverage

4. Helper Functions Ready

The naming_convention.go includes well-implemented helper functions:

  • isCamelCase(), isPascalCase(), isSnakeCase(), isUpperCase()
  • checkLeadingUnderscore() and checkTrailingUnderscore() with proper validation
  • checkPrefixSuffix() with proper name trimming logic

⚠️ Issues and Concerns

1. Critical: Regex Compilation Performance (High Priority)

Location: Multiple files including camelcase/camelcase.go:128-135, naming_convention/naming_convention.go:416-427

Issue: Regex patterns are compiled on every invocation:

func isAllowedByPattern(name string, patterns []string) bool {
    for _, pattern := range patterns {
        matched, err := regexp.MatchString(pattern, name)  // Compiles regex each time!
        if err == nil && matched {
            return true
        }
    }
    return false
}

Problem: regexp.MatchString() compiles the regex on every call, which is inefficient when checking many identifiers.

Recommendation:

// Pre-compile regexes when parsing options
type CamelcaseOptions struct {
    Properties          string
    // ... other fields
    Allow               []string
    allowPatterns       []*regexp.Regexp  // Compiled patterns
}

// In option parsing:
if allowVal, ok := optsMap["allow"].([]interface{}); ok {
    for _, pattern := range allowVal {
        if str, ok := pattern.(string); ok {
            opts.Allow = append(opts.Allow, str)
            if compiled, err := regexp.Compile(str); err == nil {
                opts.allowPatterns = append(opts.allowPatterns, compiled)
            }
        }
    }
}

// Then use:
func isAllowedByPattern(name string, patterns []*regexp.Regexp) bool {
    for _, pattern := range patterns {
        if pattern.MatchString(name) {
            return true
        }
    }
    return false
}

2. Potential Bug: Silent Option Parsing Failures (Medium Priority)

Location: All rules, e.g., no_shadow/no_shadow.go:32, consistent_type_assertions/consistent_type_assertions.go:26

Issue: Failed type assertions during option parsing are silently ignored:

if optArray, isArray := options.([]interface{}); isArray && len(optArray) > 0 {
    optsMap, _ = optArray[0].(map[string]interface{})  // Silent failure with _
} else {
    optsMap, _ = options.(map[string]interface{})      // Silent failure with _
}

Problem: Invalid configuration could be silently ignored, leading to unexpected behavior.

Recommendation:

if optArray, isArray := options.([]interface{}); isArray && len(optArray) > 0 {
    if configMap, ok := optArray[0].(map[string]interface{}); ok {
        optsMap = configMap
    } else {
        // Log warning or use default
        ctx.Logger.Warn("Invalid option format, using defaults")
    }
}

3. Edge Case: Empty String Validation (Medium Priority)

Location: camelcase/camelcase.go:110-113

Issue:

if len(name) == 0 {
    return true  // Empty name considered valid camelCase
}

Problem: Empty identifiers should probably be invalid, not valid camelCase.

Recommendation:

if len(name) == 0 {
    return false  // Empty names are invalid
}

4. Incomplete Implementation Markers (Low Priority - Expected)

All validation functions contain TODO comments indicating skeletal status. For the full implementation:

Critical TODOs to address:

  • camelcase.go:82-88: Context-aware identifier checking (destructuring, imports, globals, properties)
  • naming_convention.go:293-338: All validation functions are stubs
  • no_shadow.go:60-70: Scope tracking and shadow variable detection
  • member_ordering.go:49-62: Member ordering validation logic
  • All test files: Comprehensive test coverage needed

5. Missing Error Handling (Medium Priority)

Location: naming_convention/naming_convention.go:416-427

Issue: Regex operations in isSnakeCase() and isUpperCase() don't handle compilation errors:

func isSnakeCase(name string) bool {
    pattern := regexp.MustCompile(`^[a-z][a-z0-9]*(_[a-z0-9]+)*$`)  // Could panic on invalid regex
    return pattern.MatchString(name)
}

Note: While these patterns are static and valid, consider using regexp.MustCompile at package level for better performance:

var (
    snakeCasePattern = regexp.MustCompile(`^[a-z][a-z0-9]*(_[a-z0-9]+)*$`)
    upperCasePattern = regexp.MustCompile(`^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]*(_[A-Z0-9]+)*$`)
)

func isSnakeCase(name string) bool {
    return snakeCasePattern.MatchString(name)
}

6. Inconsistent Option Defaults (Low Priority)

Location: no_use_before_define/no_use_before_define.go:22

Issue:

opts := NoUseBeforeDefineOptions{
    Functions: "",  // Empty string default
    Classes:   true,
    // ...
}

Question: Should Functions have a default value like "nofunc" or explicit documentation about what empty string means?

🧪 Test Coverage Concerns

Current State

  • All test files are minimal stubs
  • Only basic valid test cases included
  • No invalid/error test cases

Recommendations for Full Implementation

  1. Add comprehensive test suites for each rule covering:

    • All configuration options
    • Edge cases (empty strings, special characters, Unicode)
    • TypeScript-specific scenarios
    • Invalid configurations
  2. Port existing tests from TypeScript-ESLint to ensure compatibility

  3. Add performance tests especially for regex-heavy rules like naming_convention

🔒 Security Considerations

No security issues identified. The code:

  • Properly validates input types
  • Doesn't execute arbitrary code
  • Regex patterns are defined, not user-provided (avoiding ReDoS if implemented as suggested)

📊 Performance Considerations

Current Concerns

  1. Regex compilation (see Issue chore(ci): Add Claude Code action #1 above) - High Impact
  2. String operations: Multiple strings.TrimLeft, strings.TrimRight calls in checkLeadingUnderscore/checkTrailingUnderscore - Low Impact

Future Optimization Opportunities

When implementing validation logic:

  • Consider caching identifier names that have been validated
  • Use efficient AST traversal patterns
  • Profile with real-world TypeScript codebases

📝 Code Quality Best Practices

Excellent Practices Observed

✅ Consistent naming conventions across all files
✅ Good use of Go idioms and patterns
✅ Clear separation of parsing and validation concerns
✅ Appropriate use of pointer types for optional configs

Suggestions for Improvement

  1. Add godoc comments for exported functions and types:
// CamelcaseRule enforces camelCase naming convention for identifiers.
// This is the TypeScript extension of ESLint's camelcase rule with additional
// options for handling TypeScript-specific constructs.
var CamelcaseRule = rule.CreateRule(...)
  1. Consider validation helpers: Create a shared validation utility for common patterns across rules

  2. Error messages: When implementing the full logic, ensure error messages are:

    • Clear and actionable
    • Include the actual and expected naming patterns
    • Reference the specific configuration that was violated

🎯 Recommendations for Next Steps

Priority 1 (Before Merging or in Next PR)

  1. ✅ Fix regex compilation performance issue
  2. ✅ Add error handling for option parsing failures
  3. ✅ Fix empty string edge case
  4. ✅ Pre-compile static regex patterns

Priority 2 (Full Implementation)

  1. Implement validation logic for all TODOs
  2. Add comprehensive test coverage
  3. Port relevant tests from TypeScript-ESLint
  4. Add performance benchmarks

Priority 3 (Documentation)

  1. Add godoc comments for all exported types
  2. Document expected behavior for edge cases
  3. Add examples in test files

💭 Final Thoughts

This is a solid skeletal implementation that provides an excellent foundation for the full rules. The code is well-organized, follows existing patterns, and has good type safety. The main concerns are around performance (regex compilation) and completeness of implementation (expected for a skeletal PR).

Recommendation:

  • If this is intended as a skeletal/placeholder PR: APPROVE with the understanding that the issues above will be addressed in the full implementation
  • If this is intended for production use: REQUEST CHANGES to address the regex compilation and error handling issues before merging

The performance and error handling issues are straightforward to fix and would significantly improve the robustness of the implementation. Great work on the structure and organization! 🚀


Reviewed by Claude Code

- Fix prefer_namespace_keyword.go: Call Name() method instead of accessing Name field
- Fix parameter_properties.go: Use correct constant ast.KindConstructor instead of ast.KindConstructorDeclaration

These changes resolve CI build failures by aligning with the typescript-go AST API.

Pull Request Review: TypeScript-ESLint Naming Convention and Code Style Rules

Overall Assessment

This PR provides a solid skeletal foundation for 12 new TypeScript-ESLint rules focused on naming conventions and code style. The implementation demonstrates good understanding of the codebase architecture and follows established patterns. However, as acknowledged in the PR description, this is skeleton code with core validation logic remaining to be implemented.

🎯 Strengths

1. Excellent Structural Foundation

  • ✅ All rules properly registered in config.go with correct imports
  • ✅ Consistent pattern matching with existing rules (e.g., prefer_as_const, no_unused_vars)
  • ✅ Comprehensive option parsing for all rules with dual-format support (array/object)
  • ✅ Clear separation of concerns with dedicated packages per rule

2. Comprehensive Options Modeling

The naming_convention rule implementation is particularly impressive:

  • Complete type definitions for all selectors, modifiers, and formats
  • Proper handling of complex configuration structures (filters, custom patterns, prefix/suffix)
  • Well-documented format types and validation options
  • Helper functions for format checking are well-structured

3. Documentation Quality

  • Clear TODO comments indicating what needs to be implemented
  • Detailed PR description with implementation status
  • Good references to TypeScript-ESLint documentation

4. Bug Fixes

The second commit appropriately fixes TypeScript AST API usage issues:

  • Fixed Name() method call in prefer_namespace_keyword.go
  • Corrected constant usage (ast.KindConstructor instead of ast.KindConstructorDeclaration)

🔴 Critical Issues

1. Incomplete Core Logic (Expected)

All rules are missing their core validation logic. While this is acknowledged as skeletal code, the rules currently:

  • Parse options correctly ✅
  • Register appropriate AST node listeners ✅
  • Do NOT implement actual validation

Example from camelcase.go:96:

if shouldCheckIdentifier(node, opts) {
    ctx.ReportNode(node, rule.RuleMessage{
        Id:          "notCamelCase",
        Description: "Identifier '" + name + "' is not in camelCase.",
    })
}

The shouldCheckIdentifier() function at line 137 returns true unconditionally - this will cause false positives.

2. Test Coverage Insufficient

Most test files only contain placeholder valid cases with no invalid test cases:

  • camelcase_test.go: Only 3 valid cases, 0 invalid cases
  • naming_convention_test.go: 3 valid cases, 0 invalid cases
  • All other rules: Similar pattern

Comparison with existing code:
The no_unused_vars_test.go shows the expected pattern with 10 valid and 8 invalid test cases covering various scenarios.

3. Potential Runtime Issues

In camelcase.go:91-98:

if !isCamelCase(name) && !isAllowedByPattern(name, opts.Allow) {
    if shouldCheckIdentifier(node, opts) {
        ctx.ReportNode(node, rule.RuleMessage{...})
    }
}

Issues:

  • The logic is overly simplistic and will report on ALL identifiers
  • No context checking (destructuring, imports, properties based on opts.Properties)
  • Missing implementation of ignoreDestructuring, ignoreImports, ignoreGlobals

In naming_convention.go:291-338:
All validation functions are empty stubs that won't catch any violations.

⚠️ Issues to Address

1. Code Quality & Best Practices

Option Parsing Pattern Inconsistency

Some rules handle array options correctly, but pattern could be more robust:

Current pattern:

if optArray, isArray := options.([]interface{}); isArray && len(optArray) > 0 {
    optsMap, _ = optArray[0].(map[string]interface{})
} else {
    optsMap, _ = options.(map[string]interface{})
}

Better pattern (from no_unused_vars.go:46-72):

if optsMap, ok := options.(map[string]interface{}); ok {
    if val, ok := optsMap["vars"].(string); ok {
        config.Vars = val
    }
    // ... more parsing
}

This avoids silent failures from ignored error returns.

Missing Error Handling

Several places use _ to ignore errors from type assertions:

  • camelcase.go:24-26
  • consistent_type_assertions.go:26
  • All other newly added rules

While this may be acceptable for options parsing, consider at least logging unexpected types during development.

2. Incomplete Implementations Need Safeguards

camelcase.go issues:

func shouldCheckIdentifier(node *ast.Node, opts CamelcaseOptions) bool {
    // TODO: Implement full checking logic based on context
    return true  // ⚠️ This will cause false positives!
}

Recommendation: Either:

  1. Return false to make the rule inactive (safer for skeleton code)
  2. Add a feature flag to enable incomplete rules
  3. Document clearly that these rules should not be enabled yet

3. Missing Helper Function Implementations

naming_convention.go:341-524:
While format checking helpers are defined, many are incomplete:

  • checkLeadingUnderscore() - only handles UnderscoreAllow
  • checkTrailingUnderscore() - same issue
  • checkPrefixSuffix() - returns (false, "") unconditionally on line 516

These will prevent the rule from working even when core logic is added.

4. Performance Considerations

Camelcase rule efficiency:
The current approach checks every identifier individually. Consider:

  • Caching allowed pattern regex compilations
  • Pre-filtering nodes based on parent type before deep checking
  • Following the pattern from no_unused_vars.go which collects all usages once

🔒 Security Concerns

1. Regex Injection Risk (Low)

In camelcase.go:128-133 and similar locations:

func isAllowedByPattern(name string, patterns []string) bool {
    for _, pattern := range patterns {
        matched, err := regexp.MatchString(pattern, namePattern)  // User-provided regex
        if err == nil && matched {
            return true
        }
    }
    return false
}

Issue: User-provided regex patterns could cause:

  • ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service) with pathological patterns
  • Compilation errors that are silently ignored

Recommendation:

  1. Pre-compile patterns during option parsing
  2. Validate patterns and return errors for invalid regex
  3. Set timeout limits for pattern matching if Go supports it
  4. Document pattern complexity limits

Example improvement:

// During option parsing
func compilePatterns(patterns []string) ([]*regexp.Regexp, error) {
    compiled := make([]*regexp.Regexp, 0, len(patterns))
    for _, pattern := range patterns {
        re, err := regexp.Compile(pattern)
        if err != nil {
            return nil, fmt.Errorf("invalid pattern %q: %w", pattern, err)
        }
        compiled = append(compiled, re)
    }
    return compiled, nil
}

2. No Input Validation

Options parsing doesn't validate enum values:

  • camelcase.go:44 - properties should be "always" or "never"
  • no_shadow.go:42 - hoist should be "all", "functions", or "never"
  • Invalid values are silently accepted with default behavior

📋 Test Coverage Issues

Missing Test Categories

Based on comparison with no_unused_vars_test.go, each rule needs:

  1. Valid test cases:

    • Default configuration
    • All major option combinations
    • Edge cases (empty strings, special characters, etc.)
    • TypeScript-specific scenarios
  2. Invalid test cases:

    • Basic violations
    • Option-specific violations
    • Expected error messages and positions
    • Suggested fixes (where applicable)

Specific Gaps

naming_convention_test.go:

  • No tests for modifiers (private, protected, public, static, etc.)
  • No tests for leading/trailing underscore options
  • No tests for prefix/suffix validation
  • No tests for custom regex patterns
  • No tests for type-specific rules

camelcase_test.go:

  • No invalid cases at all
  • Missing tests for ignoreDestructuring, ignoreImports, ignoreGlobals
  • No tests for regex patterns in allow option

🎯 Recommendations

Immediate Actions (Before Merge)

  1. Add Feature Flag System

    // In each rule
    const FEATURE_INCOMPLETE = true
    
    if FEATURE_INCOMPLETE {
        // Return empty listeners or warning
        ctx.ReportGlobal(rule.RuleMessage{
            Description: "Rule is incomplete and should not be enabled",
        })
        return rule.RuleListeners{}
    }
  2. Fix shouldCheckIdentifier in camelcase.go
    Change line 139 from return true to return false to prevent false positives.

  3. Document Incomplete Status
    Add comments at the top of each rule file:

    // WARNING: This rule is not yet fully implemented.
    // Core validation logic is missing. Do not enable in production.
  4. Validate Option Enums
    Add validation for string enum options to catch configuration errors early.

Short-term (Next PR)

  1. Implement Core Logic for High-Value Rules
    Priority order based on common usage:

    • camelcase (widely used)
    • naming-convention (comprehensive, high value)
    • no-unused-expressions
    • consistent-type-assertions
  2. Comprehensive Test Suite

    • Port test cases from TypeScript-ESLint
    • Add at least 10+ invalid test cases per rule
    • Cover all major configuration options
  3. Pre-compile Regex Patterns

    • Compile during option parsing
    • Return errors for invalid patterns
    • Cache compiled patterns
  4. Error Handling Improvements

    • Don't ignore type assertion errors in option parsing
    • Add validation for option values
    • Provide helpful error messages for misconfigurations

Long-term

  1. Performance Profiling

    • Benchmark rules on large codebases
    • Optimize hot paths
    • Consider caching strategies
  2. Auto-fix Support
    Following the pattern from prefer_as_const.go:82-114, implement fixes for:

    • naming-convention (rename variables)
    • camelcase (rename to camelCase)
    • consistent-type-assertions (convert between styles)
    • sort-type-constituents (reorder types)
  3. Cross-module Analysis
    For rules like no-shadow, leverage Rslint's project-level analysis capabilities.

  1. Disable incomplete validation logic (fix shouldCheckIdentifier returning true)
  2. Add documentation warnings about incomplete status
  3. Add at least basic invalid test cases to verify the testing framework works

Recommended Before Merge:

  1. Implement validation for option enum values
  2. Pre-compile regex patterns with error handling
  3. Add feature flags to disable incomplete rules

Can Be Addressed in Follow-up PRs:

  1. Complete core validation logic
  2. Comprehensive test suites
  3. Auto-fix implementations
  4. Performance optimizations

📝 Summary

This PR establishes a solid architectural foundation for 12 important TypeScript-ESLint rules. The code quality is good, follows existing patterns, and demonstrates deep understanding of the rule system. However, the skeletal nature of the implementation requires safeguards to prevent false positives and ensure users understand these rules are not production-ready.

With the recommended changes, this PR can be safely merged as a foundation for incremental implementation. The clear TODO comments and comprehensive option structures will make it straightforward to complete the implementation in follow-up PRs.

Great work on the architectural foundation! 🎉 Looking forward to seeing these rules fully implemented.


🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The camelcase rule was incorrectly rejecting identifiers that start
with uppercase letters (like MyClass, OutputChannel, Logger) and
all-uppercase constant names (like DEBUG, ERROR, INFO).

Changes:
- Updated isCamelCase() to allow PascalCase (e.g., MyClass)
- Updated isCamelCase() to allow CONSTANT_CASE (e.g., MY_CONSTANT)
- Implemented proper context checking in shouldCheckIdentifier()
- Added helper functions to detect import declarations, destructuring,
  and property names for proper filtering

This aligns with ESLint's camelcase rule behavior which only checks
for underscores (snake_case) and allows both camelCase and PascalCase.

Fixes CI test failures in TestCamelcaseRule and dogfooding tests.

Pull Request Review - PR #27

Overview

This PR introduces skeletal implementations for 12 TypeScript-ESLint rules focused on naming conventions and code style. The contribution is well-structured and follows the established patterns in the codebase. However, as this is a skeletal implementation, there are several areas that need attention before merging.

Code Quality & Best Practices

Strengths ✅

  1. Consistent Structure: All rules follow the dual-format options parsing pattern (array and object formats), matching existing codebase conventions
  2. Comprehensive Type Definitions: Excellent type safety with well-defined Go structs for all configuration options
  3. Good Separation of Concerns: Clear separation between option parsing, validation logic, and helper functions
  4. Proper Registration: All rules are correctly registered in config.go with appropriate imports

Areas for Improvement 🔧

1. Incomplete Implementations

All validation functions are currently TODOs. While this is acknowledged in the PR description, consider:

  • Recommendation: Add implementation milestones or follow-up issues for each rule
  • Priority: Start with the most commonly used rules like camelcase and naming-convention

2. Option Parsing Issues

In camelcase.go:40-63:

if optArray, isArray := options.([]interface{}); isArray && len(optArray) > 0 {
    optsMap, ok = optArray[0].(map[string]interface{})
} else {
    optsMap, ok = options.(map[string]interface{})
}
  • Issue: Silent failures when type assertions fail (ok is not checked after assignment)
  • Recommendation: Add error handling or logging when option parsing fails
  • Example:
if !ok && options != nil {
    // Log warning about invalid options format
}

Similar pattern in multiple files: no_shadow.go:32, no_type_alias.go:38, consistent_type_assertions.go:27, etc.

3. Regex Compilation Performance

In camelcase.go:130:

func isAllowedByPattern(name string, patterns []string) bool {
    for _, pattern := range patterns {
        matched, err := regexp.MatchString(pattern, name)
        // ...
    }
}
  • Issue: Compiles regex patterns on every invocation, which is inefficient
  • Recommendation: Pre-compile regex patterns during initialization
  • Example:
type CamelcaseOptions struct {
    // ... existing fields
    compiledPatterns []*regexp.Regexp // Add compiled patterns
}
// Compile once during option parsing

Similar issue in naming_convention.go with filter patterns and custom regex

4. naming_convention.go Complexity

Lines 361-524:

  • Issue: Large file (524 lines) with many helper functions
  • Recommendation: Consider splitting into:
    • naming_convention.go - main rule and validation
    • naming_convention_helpers.go - format checking helpers
    • naming_convention_options.go - option parsing

Potential Bugs & Issues

1. Incomplete Boolean Logic in camelcase.go

Lines 93-98:

if !isCamelCase(name) && !isAllowedByPattern(name, opts.Allow) {
    if shouldCheckIdentifier(node, opts) {
        ctx.ReportNode(node, ...)
    }
}
  • Issue: The isCamelCase function allows CONSTANT_CASE (line 116), which may not be intended for all identifiers
  • Impact: May not catch violations like const MY_CONST when it should be const myConst
  • Recommendation: Review the camelCase validation logic to ensure it matches TypeScript-ESLint behavior

2. Context Traversal Risks

camelcase.go:190-197:

func isInImportDeclaration(node *ast.Node) bool {
    current := node
    for current != nil {
        if current.Kind == ast.KindImportDeclaration || current.Kind == ast.KindImportEqualsDeclaration {
            return true
        }
        current = current.Parent
    }
    return false
}
  • Issue: No max depth limit for parent traversal
  • Recommendation: Add a depth limit to prevent potential infinite loops if AST has circular references
  • Impact: Low risk but good defensive programming

3. Missing Nil Checks

Multiple locations (e.g., prefer_namespace_keyword.go:29):

nameRange := utils.TrimNodeTextRange(ctx.SourceFile, moduleDecl.Name())
moduleText := ctx.SourceFile.Text()[node.Pos():nameRange.Pos()]
  • Issue: No nil check for moduleDecl.Name() before passing to TrimNodeTextRange
  • Recommendation: Add nil checks before AST node access

Test Coverage

Current State

  • All rules have test file stubs with minimal valid test cases
  • No invalid test cases except the skeletal TODOs
  • Test structure follows existing patterns (good!)

Recommendations

  1. Port TypeScript-ESLint test suites: Each rule should have comprehensive tests covering:

    • All configuration options
    • Edge cases (empty strings, special characters, Unicode)
    • TypeScript-specific scenarios (generics, decorators, etc.)
  2. Example from no_useless_empty_export_test.go (lines 10-216):

    • Shows excellent test coverage with 8 valid and 9 invalid test cases
    • Includes auto-fix validation
    • Recommendation: Use this as a template for other rules
  3. Priority Test Cases Needed:

    • naming-convention: Test each selector type, modifier combinations, format variations
    • camelcase: Test destructuring, imports, properties options
    • member-ordering: Test different ordering configurations

Performance Considerations

1. Regex Pre-compilation (Already mentioned)

  • Impact: Moderate for rules with many pattern matches
  • Recommendation: Pre-compile during initialization

2. naming_convention.go Option Parsing

Lines 149-289:

  • The option parsing creates many intermediate slice allocations
  • Recommendation: Consider pre-allocating slices with estimated capacity:
config := NamingConventionConfig{
    Selector:  make([]Selector, 0, 2),  // Most configs have 1-2 selectors
    Modifiers: make([]Modifier, 0, 3),
    // ...
}

3. Visitor Pattern Efficiency

  • Current implementation registers visitors for each node type
  • This is the correct approach and follows established patterns ✅

Security Concerns

1. Regex DoS Risk

In camelcase.go and naming_convention.go:

  • User-provided regex patterns from config could cause ReDoS
  • Recommendation:
    • Add timeout for regex matching
    • Validate regex complexity during option parsing
    • Document regex pattern limitations

2. No Direct Security Issues

  • Code operates on AST, not user input ✅
  • No file system operations or external calls ✅
  • No injection vulnerabilities ✅

Additional Recommendations

1. Documentation

  • Add godoc comments to all exported functions and types
  • Include examples in comments for complex options
  • Example:
// Format represents the naming format to enforce.
// Supported formats:
//   - camelCase: myVariable
//   - PascalCase: MyClass
//   - snake_case: my_variable
//   - UPPER_CASE: MY_CONSTANT
type Format string

2. Error Messages

  • Current messages are generic (e.g., "not in camelCase")
  • Recommendation: Provide actionable suggestions:
    • "Identifier 'my_variable' is not in camelCase. Consider renaming to 'myVariable'."
    • Include the specific rule configuration that was violated

3. Auto-fix Support

  • Consider implementing auto-fix for straightforward cases:
    • Format conversions (snake_case → camelCase)
    • Prefix/suffix additions
    • Member reordering
  • Mark complex cases as manual fixes

4. Configuration Validation

  • Add validation for option values during parsing
  • Example: Ensure properties is only "always" or "never"
  • Provide clear error messages for invalid configurations

Summary

Must-Fix Before Merge ⚠️

  1. Add nil checks for AST node access
  2. Handle option parsing failures gracefully
  3. Add at least basic test cases for each rule

Should-Fix Before Merge 🔶

  1. Pre-compile regex patterns for performance
  2. Review and fix isCamelCase logic
  3. Add depth limits for parent traversal

Can-Fix Later 📋

  1. Implement full validation logic (acknowledged as skeletal)
  2. Add comprehensive test suites
  3. Implement auto-fix capabilities
  4. Improve error messages with suggestions
  5. Split large files for better maintainability
  6. Add godoc documentation

Conclusion

This is a solid foundation for 12 important TypeScript-ESLint rules. The structure is well-thought-out and consistent with the existing codebase. However, given that all core validation logic is TODO, I recommend:

  1. For immediate merge: Complete at least 2-3 high-priority rules (e.g., camelcase, naming-convention) with full implementation and tests
  2. Alternative approach: Create separate PRs for each rule with complete implementation, which makes review easier and allows incremental delivery

Great work on the comprehensive option parsing and type definitions! Once the implementations are complete, these rules will be valuable additions to the linter.


🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The AsPropertySignature() method does not exist in the typescript-go AST API.
Simplified the PropertySignature case in isPropertyName() to just return true
when the parent is a PropertySignature node, which is sufficient for determining
if an identifier is a property name.

This fixes the build error:
parent.AsPropertySignature undefined (type *ast.Node has no field or method AsPropertySignature)

Pull Request Review: TypeScript-ESLint Naming Convention and Style Rules

Summary

This PR implements skeletal structures for 12 TypeScript-ESLint rules focused on naming conventions and code style. The implementation provides a solid foundation with comprehensive option parsing and well-structured code, though all rules are currently incomplete (marked with TODO comments) and require full implementation of validation logic.

Code Quality and Architecture

✅ Strengths

  1. Consistent Pattern Following: All new rules follow the established codebase patterns very well, mirroring the structure seen in existing rules like no_explicit_any and prefer_as_const.

  2. Comprehensive Option Parsing: The option parsing for all rules is thorough and handles both array and object formats consistently:

    if optArray, isArray := options.([]interface{}); isArray && len(optArray) > 0 {
        optsMap, _ = optArray[0].(map[string]interface{})
    } else {
        optsMap, _ = options.(map[string]interface{})
    }
  3. Well-Structured Type Definitions: The type definitions are comprehensive, especially in naming_convention.go which includes all necessary enums, structs, and configuration options.

  4. Helper Functions: The naming_convention.go file includes well-implemented helper functions for format checking (camelCase, PascalCase, snake_case, etc.) and underscore validation.

  5. Clean Integration: The config.go integration properly registers all 12 rules with correct imports.

⚠️ Issues and Concerns

1. Incomplete Implementation (Critical)

All rules are currently stubs with TODO comments. While this is acknowledged in the PR description, it means:

  • No actual linting will occur
  • Rules will not report any violations
  • Cannot be meaningfully tested yet

Example from naming_convention.go:293-298:

func validateVariableDeclaration(ctx rule.RuleContext, node *ast.Node, opts NamingConventionOptions) {
	// TODO: Implement variable naming validation
	// 1. Extract variable name from declaration
	// 2. Determine modifiers (const, exported, global, etc.)
	// 3. Check against matching configurations
	// 4. Report violations with specific error messages
}

2. Camelcase Rule Logic Issues (Medium)

The camelcase.go rule has overly permissive validation logic that may not align with ESLint's behavior:

In isCamelCase() (lines 106-126):

func isCamelCase(name string) bool {
	// Check if it's all uppercase (CONSTANT_CASE is allowed)
	if trimmed == strings.ToUpper(trimmed) {
		return true
	}
	// ...
}

This allows CONSTANT_CASE to pass as camelCase, which may not be the intended behavior depending on configuration. The ESLint camelcase rule typically treats these as distinct formats.

In shouldCheckIdentifier() (lines 138-187):
The context detection logic is incomplete. Several important checks are stubs:

  • isInImportDeclaration() traverses the AST but doesn't handle all import types
  • isPropertyName() has a simplified implementation that may miss edge cases
  • Missing handling for type-only contexts

3. Potential Bug in Error Handling (Low)

Several rules silently ignore errors from option parsing:

optsMap, _ = options.(map[string]interface{})  // Ignoring ok value

While this may be intentional, it could hide configuration errors. Consider logging or handling cases where options are malformed.

4. Regex Compilation Performance (Medium)

In naming_convention.go, regex patterns are compiled on every call:

func isSnakeCase(name string) bool {
	pattern := regexp.MustCompile(`^[a-z][a-z0-9]*(_[a-z0-9]+)*$`)
	return pattern.MatchString(name)
}

Recommendation: Pre-compile regex patterns as package-level variables:

var (
	snakeCasePattern = regexp.MustCompile(`^[a-z][a-z0-9]*(_[a-z0-9]+)*$`)
	upperCasePattern = regexp.MustCompile(`^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]*(_[A-Z0-9]+)*$`)
)

5. Missing Null Safety Checks (Low)

In camelcase.go:74, there's a potential nil dereference:

name := ctx.SourceFile.Text()[nameRange.Pos():nameRange.End()]

If ctx.SourceFile or ctx.SourceFile.Text() is nil, this will panic. Consider adding defensive checks.

Performance Considerations

Current State

  • Regex compilation in hot paths (mentioned above)
  • AST traversal patterns look reasonable
  • No obvious memory leaks or unnecessary allocations

Recommendations

  1. Pre-compile all regex patterns
  2. Consider caching node type checks if they're called frequently
  3. For naming_convention.go, consider batching validation checks rather than iterating multiple times

Security Concerns

✅ No Major Security Issues Found

  1. Regex Safety: The regex patterns used are simple and not vulnerable to ReDoS (Regular Expression Denial of Service)
  2. No External Input: All input comes from the AST and configuration, which are trusted sources
  3. No File System Operations: Rules don't perform any dangerous file operations

Minor Considerations

  • User-provided regex patterns in naming_convention.go (Custom.Regex and Filter.Regex) are compiled without validation. Consider:
    • Validating regex patterns before compilation
    • Adding timeout mechanisms for complex patterns
    • Documenting safe pattern usage

Test Coverage

⚠️ Insufficient Test Coverage

All test files are minimal stubs with only 1-2 valid test cases and no invalid test cases:

func TestCamelcaseRule(t *testing.T) {
	rule_tester.RunRuleTester(
		fixtures.GetRootDir(),
		"tsconfig.json",
		t,
		&CamelcaseRule,
		[]rule_tester.ValidTestCase{
			{Code: `const myVariable = 1;`},
			{Code: `function myFunction() {}`},
			{Code: `class MyClass {}`},
		},
		[]rule_tester.InvalidTestCase{
			// TODO: Add comprehensive invalid test cases
		},
	)
}

Recommendations for Test Coverage

  1. Port TypeScript-ESLint tests: As mentioned in the PR description, comprehensive test suites should be ported
  2. Test all configuration options: Each rule has multiple configuration options that need testing
  3. Edge cases: Test boundary conditions, empty strings, unicode characters, etc.
  4. Negative tests: Add invalid test cases to ensure rules properly detect violations
  5. Fix tests: Once auto-fix is implemented, test that fixes are applied correctly

Best Practices and Recommendations

1. Documentation

  • Add godoc comments to all exported types and functions
  • Document the expected behavior of each rule
  • Add examples in comments showing valid/invalid code patterns

2. Error Messages

  • Define clear, actionable error messages for each violation type
  • Include examples of correct naming in error messages
  • Make messages consistent across all rules

3. Implementation Priority

Based on common usage, consider implementing rules in this order:

  1. camelcase - widely used, relatively simple
  2. naming-convention - complex but highly valuable
  3. no-unused-vars, no-unused-expressions - common and important for code quality
  4. consistent-type-assertions - TypeScript-specific, important for consistency
  5. Remaining rules

4. Code Organization

Consider extracting common validation logic:

  • AST traversal helpers
  • Modifier detection utilities
  • Name extraction functions

5. Incremental Development

Rather than implementing all 12 rules simultaneously:

  • Complete one rule fully (implementation + tests)
  • Get it reviewed and merged
  • Use it as a reference for the others
  • This reduces risk and makes reviews more manageable

Specific Code Suggestions

camelcase.go Lines 106-126

// Consider separating CONSTANT_CASE from camelCase
func isCamelCase(name string) bool {
	trimmed := strings.Trim(name, "_")
	if len(trimmed) == 0 {
		return true
	}
	
	// Remove CONSTANT_CASE check - it should be handled separately
	// if trimmed == strings.ToUpper(trimmed) {
	//     return true
	// }
	
	// Must start with lowercase
	if trimmed[0] < 'a' || trimmed[0] > 'z' {
		return false
	}
	
	return !strings.Contains(trimmed, "_")
}

naming_convention.go Lines 411-427

// Pre-compile regex patterns
var (
	snakeCasePattern = regexp.MustCompile(`^[a-z][a-z0-9]*(_[a-z0-9]+)*$`)
	upperCasePattern = regexp.MustCompile(`^[A-Z][A-Z0-9]*(_[A-Z0-9]+)*$`)
)

func isSnakeCase(name string) bool {
	if len(name) == 0 {
		return false
	}
	return snakeCasePattern.MatchString(name)
}

func isUpperCase(name string) bool {
	if len(name) == 0 {
		return false
	}
	return upperCasePattern.MatchString(name)
}

Conclusion

Overall Assessment: ⚠️ Needs Work Before Merge

This PR provides excellent scaffolding for 12 important linting rules with well-structured option parsing and good adherence to codebase patterns. However, it's currently incomplete and should not be merged as-is.

Recommendations

Option A: Complete Implementation (Recommended)

  • Implement at least 2-3 core rules fully (suggest: camelcase, naming-convention, no-unused-vars)
  • Add comprehensive test coverage for implemented rules
  • Fix the identified issues
  • Split the PR if it becomes too large

Option B: Merge as Foundation (Not Recommended)

  • If merging incomplete code is acceptable in this project:
    • Add clear documentation that these are stubs
    • Create follow-up issues for each rule implementation
    • Disable rules by default until implemented
    • Add comments in code indicating "DO NOT USE - INCOMPLETE"

Option C: Split Into Multiple PRs (Alternative)

  • Create one PR per rule (or small groups)
  • Each PR contains complete implementation + tests
  • Easier to review and less risky

Priority Fixes Before Any Merge

  1. Fix regex compilation performance issue (easy win)
  2. Clarify camelcase vs CONSTANT_CASE logic
  3. Add defensive nil checks
  4. Document that these are incomplete stubs

Positive Notes

Despite the incomplete state, this PR demonstrates:

  • Strong understanding of the codebase architecture
  • Thorough planning with comprehensive option structures
  • Good code organization and consistency
  • Clear documentation of what needs to be done (TODO comments)

The foundation is solid - it just needs the implementation to be completed!

Pull Request Review: TypeScript-ESLint Naming Convention and Code Style Rules

Overall Assessment

This PR provides a solid skeletal implementation of 12 TypeScript-ESLint rules focused on naming conventions and code style. The architecture and structure are well thought out, with comprehensive option parsing and helper functions in place. However, as acknowledged in the PR description, this is scaffolding that requires full implementation before being production-ready.

Status: ✅ Approve with recommendations for next steps


Positive Aspects

1. Excellent Architecture and Structure

  • ✅ All rules follow consistent patterns for option parsing (dual-format support: array and object)
  • ✅ Proper registration in config.go with appropriate imports
  • ✅ Clear separation of concerns with dedicated packages for each rule
  • ✅ Well-organized type definitions using Go structs with JSON tags

2. Comprehensive Type Safety

  • ✅ Strong typing for all configuration options
  • ✅ Proper use of Go constants for enums (Format, Selector, Modifier types)
  • ✅ Null-safe option parsing with sensible defaults

3. naming-convention Rule Highlights

The naming_convention.go implementation shows excellent preparation:

  • ✅ Complete helper functions for format checking (isCamelCase, isPascalCase, isSnakeCase, isUpperCase, etc.)
  • ✅ Sophisticated underscore validation with multiple modes
  • ✅ Proper prefix/suffix checking with name trimming logic
  • ✅ Comprehensive configuration structure matching TypeScript-ESLint spec

4. camelcase Rule Implementation

This rule has the most implementation progress:

  • ✅ Pattern matching for allowed identifiers
  • ✅ Context-aware checking (imports, destructuring, properties)
  • ✅ Basic camelCase validation logic
  • ✅ Helper functions for determining identifier context

Issues & Concerns

🔴 Critical: Incomplete Core Logic

All rules are skeletal with TODO comments marking missing core functionality:

  1. naming_convention/naming_convention.go:294-338 - All validation functions are empty stubs
  2. camelcase/camelcase.go:82-88 - Core validation logic incomplete
  3. no_shadow/no_shadow.go:60-70 - Scope tracking and shadowing detection missing
  4. no_use_before_define - Use-before-define detection not implemented
  5. no_unused_expressions - Expression evaluation not implemented
  6. All other rules - Only option parsing implemented

🟡 Potential Bugs & Edge Cases

1. camelcase/camelcase.go:106-127 - isCamelCase Logic Issues

func isCamelCase(name string) bool {
    trimmed := strings.Trim(name, "_")
    if len(trimmed) == 0 {
        return true  // ⚠️ Empty names pass validation
    }
    if trimmed == strings.ToUpper(trimmed) {
        return true  // ⚠️ CONSTANT_CASE passes as camelCase
    }
    if strings.Contains(trimmed, "_") {
        return false
    }
    return true  // ⚠️ PascalCase passes as camelCase
}

Issues:

  • Empty identifiers (just underscores) are considered valid
  • CONSTANT_CASE is incorrectly accepted as camelCase
  • PascalCase (e.g., MyClass) passes camelCase validation
  • Numbers are not explicitly handled

Fix needed: The function should check that the first character is lowercase after trimming underscores.

2. naming_convention/naming_convention.go:361-371 - Similar Issues

The isCamelCase function here has better logic but still accepts empty names and doesn't validate digits properly.

3. Regex Pattern Error Handling

In camelcase/camelcase.go:129-137:

func isAllowedByPattern(name string, patterns []string) bool {
    for _, pattern := range patterns {
        matched, err := regexp.MatchString(pattern, name)
        if err == nil && matched {  // ⚠️ Silently ignores invalid regex
            return true
        }
    }
    return false
}

Issue: Invalid regex patterns are silently ignored. Should either:

  • Validate patterns at configuration parse time
  • Log errors when patterns fail to compile
  • Return error to user

4. Option Parsing Pattern

Multiple files use this pattern:

if optArray, isArray := options.([]interface{}); isArray && len(optArray) > 0 {
    optsMap, ok = optArray[0].(map[string]interface{})
} else {
    optsMap, ok = options.(map[string]interface{})
}

Potential issue: Array format assumes first element is always a map, but doesn't validate. Could panic or produce incorrect behavior if array contains non-map values.

🟡 Code Quality Observations

1. Inconsistent Error Handling

  • Some functions use ok idiom: if val, ok := map["key"].(type); ok { ... }
  • Others use silenced errors: optsMap, _ = options.(map[string]interface{})
  • Recommendation: Be consistent, prefer explicit ok checks

2. Missing Validation Context

Rules like shouldCheckIdentifier in camelcase.go:139-190 check parent node kinds but don't account for:

  • Property names in object literals
  • Method names vs identifiers
  • Computed property names
  • Type annotations vs runtime values

3. Scope Management Not Implemented

Rules requiring scope tracking (no-shadow, no-use-before-define, no-unused-vars) need:

  • Scope stack implementation
  • Variable binding tracking
  • Reference resolution
  • Hoisting awareness

Testing Concerns

🔴 Critical: Minimal Test Coverage

All test files follow this pattern:

[]rule_tester.ValidTestCase{
    {Code: `const myVariable = 1;`},  // Single trivial case
},
[]rule_tester.InvalidTestCase{
    // TODO: Add comprehensive invalid test cases
},

Missing test coverage:

  1. ❌ No invalid test cases for any rule
  2. ❌ No tests for edge cases (empty strings, special characters, unicode)
  3. ❌ No tests for various configuration options
  4. ❌ No tests for TypeScript-specific scenarios
  5. ❌ No auto-fix validation tests

Recommendation: Before marking rules as complete, add tests covering:

  • All configuration options
  • Positive and negative cases
  • Edge cases (empty identifiers, special characters, unicode)
  • TypeScript-specific features (type vs value declarations)
  • Complex nesting scenarios

Performance Considerations

Current State: ✅ Good

  • Minimal runtime overhead with current skeletal implementation
  • Efficient option parsing
  • No obvious N² algorithms

Future Concerns:

  1. naming_convention rule checks every identifier against potentially many configurations

    • Recommend: Cache compiled regex patterns
    • Recommend: Early exit strategies for common cases
  2. Scope tracking for shadow/unused rules can be expensive

    • Recommend: Efficient scope data structures
    • Recommend: Single-pass algorithms where possible

Security Considerations

✅ No Security Concerns Identified

  • No arbitrary code execution risks
  • No file system access
  • No network operations
  • Regex patterns could cause ReDoS but TypeScript identifiers are bounded in length

Minor concern: User-provided regex patterns in configuration could be malicious (ReDoS). Consider:

  • Setting timeout limits on regex matching
  • Validating patterns at parse time
  • Documenting safe pattern practices

Next Steps & Recommendations

Priority 1: Core Implementation

  1. Implement validation logic for all TODO sections
  2. Add comprehensive tests with both valid and invalid cases
  3. Implement auto-fix capabilities where applicable (especially for sort-type-constituents, member-ordering)

Priority 2: Bug Fixes

  1. Fix isCamelCase logic in both camelcase and naming_convention rules
  2. Add error handling for regex pattern compilation
  3. Validate array option parsing to prevent unexpected behavior

Priority 3: Enhanced Functionality

  1. Implement scope tracking for no-shadow, no-use-before-define
  2. Add type-aware checking for TypeScript-specific modifiers
  3. Port test suites from TypeScript-ESLint for comprehensive coverage

Priority 4: Documentation

  1. Add examples in comments for complex configurations
  2. Document performance characteristics
  3. Add migration guides from TypeScript-ESLint

Code Examples for Fixes

Fix for camelCase validation:

func isCamelCase(name string) bool {
    if len(name) == 0 {
        return false
    }
    
    // Must start with lowercase letter or underscore
    if !(name[0] >= 'a' && name[0] <= 'z' || name[0] == '_') {
        return false
    }
    
    // Can contain letters, numbers, but no underscores in the middle
    for i := 1; i < len(name); i++ {
        c := name[i]
        if c == '_' {
            return false  // No underscores allowed in camelCase
        }
        if !((c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') || (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z') || (c >= '0' && c <= '9')) {
            return false  // Invalid character
        }
    }
    
    return true
}

Fix for regex pattern validation:

func isAllowedByPattern(name string, patterns []string) bool {
    for _, pattern := range patterns {
        re, err := regexp.Compile(pattern)
        if err != nil {
            // Log warning or return error
            continue
        }
        if re.MatchString(name) {
            return true
        }
    }
    return false
}

Conclusion

This PR represents excellent scaffolding work that provides a strong foundation for implementing these TypeScript-ESLint rules. The architecture is sound, the type system is well-designed, and the helper functions demonstrate good understanding of the requirements.

However, this is clearly not production-ready in its current state. The core validation logic is missing, test coverage is minimal, and there are several bugs in the implemented helper functions.

Recommendation:

  • Approve as scaffolding/WIP
  • ⚠️ Do not merge until core logic is implemented and tested
  • 📋 Create follow-up issues for each rule's full implementation
  • 🧪 Add comprehensive test suites before considering any rule "complete"

Great work on the structure! Looking forward to seeing the full implementations.
