Roadmap

[ajafff]

This issue lists the planned work items for the next few releases. This list exists so you know where this project is headed and how I will probably spend my time. Tasks are not ordered by priority. I might not strictly follow the roadmap if something else needs to be addressed earlier or is a low-hanging fruit.

If you'd like to see another feature on this list, let's discuss this in the comments below.

Goals

Increasing productivity and ease of use

Things that bother me and would also make this project more useful for a broader audience.

• enable fixes in LanguageService plugin
• wip: Introduce CodeActions #316 introduce code actions
• Implement Builder for Angular devkit #255 Angular integration

Accessibility for new users / documentation overhaul

Restructuring and rewriting the existing documentation to make it actually useful. Top priority are new users. Rule authors are also a high priority target. Feedback is very welcome.

• Make documentation easier for new users #746 Make documentation easier for new users
• Documentation #17 add missing documentation for all features

Tap into ESLint ecosystem

ESLint has a vast amount of (mostly) useful rules. Combined with Wotan's understanding of TypeScript (default excluded files, caching, potentially watch mode, ...) this might become more useful than typescript-eslint.

• Investigate adding compatibility for ESLint rules #517 allow using ESLint rules
• Enable use of existing ESLint configuration
• probably goes along with configuration overhaul Rethink configuration #635

Features and Stability

• Track random access to source files in Program #760 Cache should track rules accessing other source files
• Add --watch mode #479 Watch mode
• Allow rules to access the file system through RuleContext
• Add scope analysis to RuleContext
• stretch goal: complete control flow graph
