CQLinq: Code Query Linq
JArchitect lets query the code base over CQLinq queries. For example the following CQLinq query matches all public methods that have more than 30 lines of code:
120 default queries and rules are provided when you create a new JArchitect project. They are easy to read and easy to adapt to your need.
Writing CQLinq queries and constraints is straightforward because JArchitect provides a CQLinq editor which supports:
- Code completion / intellisense,
- Live compile error description,
- Integrated tooltip documentation.
Also, once the query is compiled, it gets executed immediately and its result is well displayed and browsable:
Powerful and elaborated queries and rules can be written with CQLinq, like the following one for example:
Short CQLinq queries can be written (or even generated) to get some immediate answers to questions about a code base:
Is the code layered correctly?
Which methods have been refactored since the last release?
Which classes inherit from a particular class?
What are the 10 most complex methods?
Which methods assign a particular field?
Which complex method is not enough commented?
You can also be warned automatically when a CQLinq query returns a certain result. Such a CQLinq code query is actually a code rule such as:
I don't want that my User Interface layer to depend directly on the DataBase layer:
Methods out of MyProject1 and MyProject2 should not have more than 30 lines of code:
Static fields should not be named m_XXX (Custom naming conventions):
Public methods should not be removed to avoid API breaking changes:
