no-typename-prefix exceptions

[titonobre]

Hi.

I have the rule no-typename-prefix enabled and would like to keep it this way. However there are some known cases where I would like to open an exception, ideally without using eslint-disable-next-line.

But before, some context. I'm following some design rules from here. One of them is related to the naming of the fields.

type User {
  id: ID!
  name: String
  friendsConnection(
    first: Int,
    after: String,
    last: Int,
    before: String
  ): UserFriendsConnection
}

Note here that we name the field ${Relationship Type}Connection. This is so that we reserve the friends field name for a future pagination specification.

Back to my scenario. I would like to implement the following types

type Categories {
  id: ID!
  title: String
  categoriesConnection: CategoriesConnection!
}

# type CategoriesConnection with a set of CategoryEdge ...

# type CategoryEdge with a reference to a Category

type Category {
  id: ID!
  title: String
  icon: String
  items: ItemsConnection!
}

The issue here is that categories is both the name of the type and the plural of Category.

Would it be possible to have this rule configurable with something like this?

{
  ignoreSuffix: "Connection"
}

Thank you.

Sorry, I’m not plan to adding this option

A Pull Request would be OK for you?

@titonobre I don't want to add some extra options to this rule with the explicit name no-typename-prefix for the following reasons:

1. there is already a possibility to ignore your specific cases with eslint-ignore comments
2. your design follows from an outdated article from 2017 year, maybe I would change my mind if it was Relay spec for the current year for example...
   Sorry, but not.

Fair enough. Thank you.
