max-lines rule

[dagmon2]

Hello!

i was wondering if currently there is a support for a rule
that enforces maximum lines per file

similar to this eslint rule - https://eslint.org/docs/rules/max-lines

Thank you very much!
dagmon.

will really appreciate it if it's added

The only linter I know that is somehow providing something close to this is

revive.function-length

https://revive.run/r#function-length

Available via revive linters in golangci-lint

https://golangci-lint.run/usage/linters/#revive

You could open a PR on this project maybe

Actually golangci-lint has already included funlen linter to limit lines in a function (yes I'm using it).
But currently golangci-lint doesn't have linter to limit lines in an entire .go file.

[ccoVeille]

Indeed. But revive is a good candidate if you want to add this to a linter

[ccoVeille]

The filen linter has been added, it's great.

But for archive and anyone interested, there is a pending PR about adding the same feature into revive rules

Maybe you could edit to spot it will be available via revive
