eslint-plugin-comment-above-typeorm-entity v1.0.0

eslint-plugin-comment-above-typeorm-entity

An eslint plugin that forces you to comment just above the typeorm entity to describe it.

Quick start

Install

$ yarn add --dev eslint-plugin-comment-above-typeorm-entity

In your .eslintrc

module.exports = {
  plugins: ["eslint-plugin-comment-above-typeorm-entity"],
  rules: {
    "comment-above-typeorm-entity/comment-requirement": "error",
  },
};

Examples

OK

// Some comment to describe...
@Entity()
export class User {
  @PrimaryGeneratedColumn({ comment: "id" })
  id!: number;
}

@Entity()
/**
 * Some comment to describe...
 */
export class User {
  @PrimaryGeneratedColumn({ comment: "id" })
  id!: number;
}

NG

@Entity()
export class User {
  @PrimaryGeneratedColumn({ comment: "id" })
  id!: number;
}

Motivation

Seems like the typeorm entity currently doesn't allow us to add table comments.
It would be comfortable if we could do something like this.

@Entity({ comment: "Some description..." })

But we can't.
During code reviews and development at work, I'm having a hard time understanding what an entity or the table is for.
Examples above are just simple User Entities, but in reality, there are a number of more complex and unique concepts.
So I made a eslint plugin that forces to explain entities by comment.
