Diagnostic Messages

commentedCode

Commented-out code creates confusion about intent and clutters the codebase. Version control preserves history, making dead code comments unnecessary. Delete the commented code entirely. If needed later, retrieve it from git history.

Configuration

This rule accepts one options object after the severity.

maxLinesOptional

Maximum number of lines of commented code allowed without reporting. Default 0 means any commented code triggers an error.

Type: number
Default: 0
