Exhaustive switch statement

In programming languages lacking a comprehensive match statement for enumerations, our only option is to verify whether the switch statement aligns with the enumerated type.

//LINT.IF

enum Thing {
  ONE = 1,
  TWO = 2,
}

//LINT.END :thing_enum

//LINT.IF :thing_enum

switch (thing) {
  case Thing.ONE: {
    return doThingOne();
  }

  case Thing.TWO: {
    return doThingTwo();
  }
}

//LINT.END

Custom file extensions

git diff | difflint --ext_map="difflint.json"

difflint.json

{
  "yaml": ["#LINT.?"]
}

Development

Run the tool from source with the Go toolchain:

go run cli/main.go --help
