File Analysis
Iris analyses every supported file automatically as you open or save it. The File tab shows:
- Health score — 0–100 composite score penalising warnings, deep nesting, long functions, and debug prints
- Trend delta — ↑/↓ change vs the previous snapshot, shown next to the health score after the first workspace scan
- Language badge — Go / TypeScript / JavaScript / Python badge in the file header
- Line counts — total lines, blank lines, code lines
- Complexity score — 1–10 score based on function density, nesting depth, control flow, and import count
- Function list — all detected functions with line numbers, each clickable to jump to source
- Import tags — third-party packages detected via import statements
- Unused imports — named/default/namespace bindings that are imported but never referenced (TypeScript/JavaScript only)
- Test file indicator — flags whether a corresponding test file exists (configurable via
testConventionin.irisconfig.json)
Note: Unused import detection is TypeScript/JavaScript-only. Go and Python handle this at the compiler/runtime level.
TypeScript Metrics
Shown only for TS/JS files; hidden automatically for Go and Python.
| Metric | What it tracks |
|---|---|
any usages | Counts explicit : any / as any. Each occurrence is clickable. |
@ts-ignore | Count of TypeScript suppressions |
| Non-null assertions | Count of ! usages |
| Missing return types | Exported functions without an explicit return type annotation |
Code Smells
Iris detects several code smell patterns across all supported languages. Every finding is clickable to jump to the line.
| Smell | Detected in | Toggle setting |
|---|---|---|
Debug prints — console.log/warn/error | JavaScript / TypeScript | enableConsoleLogWarnings |
Debug prints — fmt.Print* / log.Print* / log.Fatal* / log.Panic* | Go | enableConsoleLogWarnings |
Debug prints — print() | Python | enableConsoleLogWarnings |
| Magic numbers — raw numeric literals (excluding 0 and 1) used inline without a named binding | All supported languages | enableMagicNumberDetection |
TODOs / FIXMEs / HACKs — from // comments (JS/TS, Go) and # comments (Python) | All supported languages | enableTodoDetection |
| Long parameter lists — functions with too many parameters | All supported languages | enableLongParamDetection |
| Unused variables — declared but never referenced elsewhere in the file | All supported languages | enableUnusedDetection |
| Unused functions — defined but never called within the file and not exported | All supported languages | enableUnusedDetection |
Tip: Disabling a toggle hides both the stat counter and the detail section from the sidebar entirely — useful for reducing visual clutter.
Warnings
Five warning types, each with configurable severity:
| Type | Default severity | Triggers at |
|---|---|---|
file-too-long | error / warning | > threshold / > ⅔ threshold |
function-too-long | error / warning | > 2× threshold / > threshold |
too-many-functions | warning | > maxFunctionsPerFile |
too-many-imports | warning | > maxImportsPerFile |
no-exports | info | no exported identifier found |
Tip: Override severity per warning type using
severityOverrides in .irisconfig.json.
