enforce a maximum number of classes per file (max-classes-per-file)

Files containing multiple classes can often result in a less navigable and poorly structured codebase. Best practice is to keep each file limited to a single responsibility.

Rule Details

This rule enforces that each file may contain only a particular number of classes and no more.

Examples of incorrect code for this rule:

/*eslint max-classes-per-file: "error"*/

class Foo {}
class Bar {}

Examples of correct code for this rule:

/*eslint max-classes-per-file: "error"*/

class Foo {}

Options

This rule has a numeric option (defaulted to 1) to specify the maximum number of classes.

For example:

{
    "max-classes-per-file": ["error", 1]
}

Examples of correct code for this rule with the numeric option set to 2:

/* eslint max-classes-per-file: ["error", 2] */

class Foo {}
class Bar {}

Version

This rule was introduced in ESLint 5.0.0-alpha.3.
