Union types represent a value that can be one of the several types. When a union type is used for a function parameter and it is accepting too many types, it may indicate the function is having too many responsibilities. Sometimes it's worth creating a type alias for this union type. In all cases, the code should be reviewed and refactored to make it more maintainable.
== Noncompliant Code Example
With the default threshold of 3:
[source,javascript]
----
let x: MyType1 | MyType2 | MyType3 | MyType4; // Noncompliant
function foo(p1: string, p2: MyType1 | MyType2 | MyType3 | MyType4) { // Noncompliant
// ...
}
----
== Compliant Solution
[source,javascript]
----
type MyUnionType = MyType1 | MyType2 | MyType3 | MyType4; // Compliant, "type" statements are ignored
let x: MyUnionType;
function foo(value: string, padding: MyUnionType) {
// ...
}
----
== Exceptions
This rule ignores union types part of ``++type++`` statement:
----
type MyUnionType = MyType1 | MyType2 | MyType3 | MyType4;
