View Source Credo.Check.Readability.StrictModuleLayout (Credo v1.6.4)

This check has a base priority of low and works with any version of Elixir.

Explanation

Provide module parts in a required order.

# preferred

defmodule MyMod do
  @moduledoc "moduledoc"
  use Foo
  import Bar
  alias Baz
  require Qux
end

Like all Readability issues, this one is not a technical concern. But you can improve the odds of others reading and liking your code by making it easier to follow.

Check-Specific Parameters

Use the following parameters to configure this check:

:order

List of atoms identifying the desired order of module parts.

Supported values are:

  • :moduledoc - @moduledoc module attribute
  • :shortdoc - @shortdoc module attribute
  • :behaviour - @behaviour module attribute
  • :use - use expression
  • :import - import expression
  • :alias - alias expression
  • :require - require expression
  • :defstruct - defstruct expression
  • :opaque - @opaque module attribute
  • :type - @type module attribute
  • :typep - @typep module attribute
  • :callback - @callback module attribute
  • :macrocallback - @macrocallback module attribute
  • :optional_callbacks - @optional_callbacks module attribute
  • :module_attribute - other module attribute
  • :public_fun - public function
  • :private_fun - private function or a public function marked with @doc false
  • :public_macro - public macro
  • :private_macro - private macro or a public macro marked with @doc false
  • :callback_impl - public function or macro marked with @impl
  • :public_guard - public guard
  • :private_guard - private guard or a public guard marked with @doc false
  • :module - inner module definition (defmodule expression inside a module)

Notice that the desired order always starts from the top.

For example, if you provide the order ~w/public_fun private_fun/a, it means that everything else (e.g. @moduledoc) must appear after function definitions.

This parameter defaults to [:shortdoc, :moduledoc, :behaviour, :use, :import, :alias, :require].

:ignore

List of atoms identifying the module parts which are not checked, and may therefore appear anywhere in the module. Supported values are the same as in the :order param.

This parameter defaults to [].

General Parameters

Like with all checks, general params can be applied.

Parameters can be configured via the .credo.exs config file.
