code-smells/bloaters

To identify code bloaters, audit methods and classes that exceed maintainability thresholds, flagging long methods, oversized classes, primitive obsession, long parameter lists, and data clumps.

Fix primitive obsession and long parameter lists by applying the Introduce Parameter Object pattern, grouping repetitive primitive data into cohesive domain objects to simplify method signatures.

Code bloaters are oversized structures like long methods and large classes that cause maintenance headaches. They require refactoring when they exceed maintainability thresholds and hinder system agility.

Yes, you can use this approach for TypeScript service classes to locate problematic bloated sections and restructure them into focused domain components for improved maintainability.

The best way to detect data clumps during code review is to look for repetitive primitive patterns across multiple method signatures, then apply targeted refactor patterns to consolidate them.
