stepdown

Place a private helper below its sole direct same-scope caller.

helperAboveOnlyCaller Rule source Tests Catalog JSON

Why

Caller-first ordering lets a reader follow the main flow before descending into implementation details.

Fix

Consider moving the private helper below its sole caller after reviewing initialization and reflection dependencies.

Examples

Before — flagged Do not lead with a sole-caller helper

src/run.ts

function load() {
  return 1;
}
function run() {
  return load();
}

After — preferred Place the caller first

src/run.ts

function run() {
  return load();
}
function load() {
  return 1;
}
