Would a linter that sorts interface method signatures be useful?#5890
-
In our projects we have interfaces defined which can have more than 10 method signatures. Even though interfaces should generally not be big, for our use case it makes sense because each interface corresponds to a grpc client. For readability it would be nice to have the method signatures of these interfaces sorted. Is there a linter already that does that (I went through the list of linters in the docs, but could not find one which does this) and if not, would such a linter be considered useful? |

Hello, I don't remember an existing linter about that. This is a niche style, because as you said, interfaces should be small. Could you explain how ordering the signatures can be a readability improvement? |

In our case the interfaces contain method signatures representing crud operations of related objects, f.e. Delivery, Delivery Note, Delivery Positions. etc. If all these method signatures are listed in random order it is hard to find a particular method f.e. to check if it was already added before or to view the signature just by looking at the interface code. If the method signatures were sorted it would be easier to accomplish. I understand your argumentation so far and would also understand if you said a linter like that is not wanted. |

This is why interfaces should be small and focused on a specific behavior. So, I will say "maybe", I need to think more about the topic. |
