TypeStat ships with built-in support for using tsquery to ignore sections of source files. This is useful for...
- ...when sections of source files can be safely excluded from type coverage
- ...when you want to only touch up certain parts of source files
filter will exclude any portions of source code that match them.
Sub-sections (child nodes) of those portions will not be visited.
For example, it's common in some architectures for classes to have dispose() methods (mirroring C#'s IDisposable) where private members are set to null.
You can use filter to exclude these nulls from type calculations.
{
"filter": ["MethodDeclaration[name.text=dispose]"]
}
