faire-detekt-rules is an opinionated rule set for Detekt that plugs into Kotlin builds to enforce additional static analysis checks beyond the standard Detekt rules.
It focuses on code patterns that can reduce bugs, improve readability, and standardize conventions, with checks covering assertions, collection usage, nullable receivers, imports, enum handling, global variables, and related Kotlin practices.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Provides a custom Detekt rule set for Kotlin projects.
- Flags potentially error-prone Kotlin idioms and API usage.
- Offers autocorrection for many supported rules when Detekt autocorrect is enabled.
- Supports Gradle integration through the detektPlugins dependency configuration.
- Includes configurable handling for banned imports and VisibleForTesting access.
