Some ember shops try to put some guard-rails on the length of templates for the following reasons:
-
Templates that are extremely long are often a sign that code should be factored into several different components. Be aware that sometimes breaking a template up just because it's long in order to fix a linting violation can potentially make the code harder to reason about: splitting up a single logical unit into multiple files simply because it is "long" roughly means that to find where some HTML snippet is you have to solve a murder mystery. So while this check is helpful to help with sanity-checking,
{{!-- template-lint-disable template-length --}}might be the right answer if a long template does in fact represent a logical unit. -
Templates that are extremely short might be better off inlined into the component itself rather than existing as a separate
.hbsfile.
N/A
This rule is configured with a boolean, or a string value:
- boolean --
truefor enabled (defaults of max: 200 / min: 5) /falsefor disabling this rule - object --
- max {number} - the longest a template should be without failing a test (assuming the right thing to do would be to split the template up into pieces).
- min {number} - the shortest a template should be without failing a test (assuming the right thing to do would be to inline the template.
