ESLint plugin for more mangling friendly code, for less bundle size

Feature ✨

• ESLint plugin for more mangling friendly code

• This plugin provides a restrict to accomplish the above coding rule

Setup

write your eslint config file

// .eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
    ...,
    parser: '@typescript-eslint/parser',
    plugins: [..., 'mangling-friendly'],
    rules: [
        ...,
        'mangling-friendly/ban-underscore-prefix-on-public-field': 'warn',
        'mangling-friendly/enforce-underscore-prefix-on-private-field': 'warn',
    ]
}

Rules

ban-underscore-prefix-on-public-field

This rule bans underscore prefix on public field. Mangling object field is effective for reducing bundle size, but this is unsafe process. Mangling only private field is the way to reduce bundle size safely. However, current mangling tool(such as terser) cannot use the type information, so it cannot know whether private or not a property is, and Hard privating with (# sharp) will provide increased bundle size because this should be transpiled for more browser support, so we should add prefix _ on private field and should not do that on the other field.

examples

class Hoge {
    private _hoge: string; // not throw warning
    public hoge: string; // not throw warning
    public _bar: string; // throw warning
    public fuga() {} // not throw warning
    public _hello() {} // throw warning
}

const obj = {
    fuga: "hoge" // not throw warning
    _bar: "hoge" // throw warning
}

for more examples, plz see the test.
