Uncanny Cognitive Complexity is a VS Code extension that shows Mr. Incredible
getting more and more uncanny as the cognitive complexity of your code grows.
It works best with TypeScript and JavaScript as it does an AST analysis of the
code to compute the correct cognitive complexity, but it also works with any
other language by using simple heuristics to estimate the complexity of the code.
Credits
Virej Dasani for the idea. They made the
Incredibly In Your Face
extension that works in the same way, but Mr. Incredible will react to the
number of errors in your code instead of at your code's cognitive complexity;
Thomas Richards for their cognitive-complexity-ts
library, which is the one used by this extension under the hood to compute
the cognitive complexity of the code;
Joshua Clayton for their complexity
tool, which I compiled to WebAssembly and used to estimate the cognitive
complexity of files other than TypeScript and JavaScript;
Myself for the sidebar icon. It literally took
me more time to design it than it took me to develop the extension itself.
Hope you will appreciate it.
