code-quality

To detect code quality issues in an Elixir Phoenix project, you can run an automated analysis across your .ex and .heex files. This process identifies ABC complexity, code duplication, and unused private functions to improve maintainability.

ABC complexity in Elixir is a software metric measuring the size of code by counting Assignments, Branches, and Conditions. Automated quality checks evaluate this metric across modules to identify functions that are excessively complex and need refactoring.

Yes, you can automatically find unused private functions in Phoenix templates. The analysis scans .ex and .heex files across modules and templates to detect dead code and provides actionable remediation guidance for removal.

Yes, this code quality analysis works directly with .heex files in Phoenix. It comprehensively scans both .ex module files and .heex template files to detect duplication, complexity, and unused functions across the entire codebase.

To baseline Elixir code quality before a refactor, run the provided run_analysis.sh script for a full project analysis. This identifies existing duplications, complexity, and dead code, establishing a reference point for your refactoring efforts.
