  • Introduced performanceConfig to enable performance-related ESLint rules for production TypeScript.
  • Added rules: no-gpu-upload-in-loop, no-hot-path-buffer-allocation, no-hot-path-collection-allocation, no-inline-gpu-upload-allocation, prefer-direct-typed-array-iteration, require-animation-frame-cleanup, require-gpu-resource-cleanup, and require-observer-disconnect.
  • Updated README to document the new performance rules and their usage.
  • Added tests for the new rules to ensure correct functionality.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added an optional ESLint performance configuration for production TypeScript code.
    • Added checks for inefficient GPU uploads, hot-path allocations, unnecessary typed-array copies, and missing animation-frame, GPU-resource, or observer cleanup.
    • Added @hotPath support and automatic detection for common renderer methods.
  • Documentation

    • Documented how to enable the performance configuration and the rules it provides.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive coverage for the new configuration and performance checks.

- Introduced `performanceConfig` to enable performance-related ESLint rules for production TypeScript.
- Added rules: `no-gpu-upload-in-loop`, `no-hot-path-buffer-allocation`, `no-hot-path-collection-allocation`, `no-inline-gpu-upload-allocation`, `prefer-direct-typed-array-iteration`, `require-animation-frame-cleanup`, `require-gpu-resource-cleanup`, and `require-observer-disconnect`.
- Updated README to document the new performance rules and their usage.
- Added tests for the new rules to ensure correct functionality.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The ESLint package adds eight performance rules for hot-path allocations, GPU uploads, typed-array iteration, animation-frame cleanup, observer disconnection, and GPU resource cleanup. It exposes performanceConfig, updates hot-path JSDoc support, and adds rule and configuration tests.

Changes

Performance ESLint rules

Layer / File(s) Summary
Hot-path detection and allocation rules
projects/internals/eslint/src/local/utils.js, projects/internals/eslint/src/local/no-hot-path-buffer-allocation.js, projects/internals/eslint/src/local/no-hot-path-collection-allocation.js, projects/internals/eslint/src/local/*hot-path*.test.js, projects/internals/eslint/src/configs/typescript.js
Detects @hotPath annotations and renderer methods. Reports buffer, typed-array, collection, spread, and Array.from allocations in hot paths.
Typed-array and GPU upload rules
projects/internals/eslint/src/local/prefer-direct-typed-array-iteration.js, projects/internals/eslint/src/local/no-inline-gpu-upload-allocation.js, projects/internals/eslint/src/local/no-gpu-upload-in-loop.js, projects/internals/eslint/src/local/*typed-array*.test.js, projects/internals/eslint/src/local/*gpu-upload*.test.js
Reports unnecessary typed-array copies, inline upload allocations, and repeated GPU uploads. The typed-array rule provides an autofix.
Animation, observer, and GPU cleanup rules
projects/internals/eslint/src/local/require-animation-frame-cleanup.js, projects/internals/eslint/src/local/require-observer-disconnect.js, projects/internals/eslint/src/local/require-gpu-resource-cleanup.js, projects/internals/eslint/src/local/require-*.test.js
Reports stored animation-frame handles, observers, and destroyable GPU resources that lack matching cleanup calls.
Performance configuration and documentation
projects/internals/eslint/src/configs/performance.js, projects/internals/eslint/src/configs/performance.test.js, projects/internals/eslint/src/index.js, projects/internals/eslint/README.md
Exports performanceConfig, applies all eight rules at error severity to production TypeScript sources, excludes non-production paths, and documents usage and rule coverage.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 8ebe0

The PR adds production TypeScript performance lint rules, but several rules can currently reject valid code or apply an unsafe autofix: nested callbacks may be classified as hot-path code, collection and GPU upload checks are overly broad, conditional expressions can be regrouped incorrectly, and default-exported hot-path annotations may be missed. The PR is not merge-ready until these correctness issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

Stop traversal at nested executable contexts.

Both rules inspect allocations in nested functions as if they execute in the enclosing hot path. For example, render() { return () => new Float32Array(4); } reports the typed-array construction even when the returned callback runs outside the hot path. The error configuration can therefore reject valid source.

Validate receiver types before reporting allocation patterns.

The current method-name matching can reject valid code when the receiver is not the expected resource type. For example, this.map(point) can be reported even when map is not a collection operation, and writer.writeBuffer(target, 0, new Uint8Array(data)) can be reported even when writer is not a WebGPU queue. Use type information or other receiver checks to establish collection and GPUQueue semantics before reporting.

Preserve source-expression grouping in the autofix.

When match.source is an unparenthesized conditional expression, the replacement can change Array.from(condition ? first : second).some(predicate) into condition ? first : second.some(predicate). Wrap the replacement in parentheses and add a RuleTester case for this input.

Share the stored-member text helpers across the three cleanup rules. thisMemberText and propertyDefinitionAsThisMember are byte-identical in all three new cleanup rules. Each rule compares the produced text against call-site text from context.sourceCode.getText, so the format is a shared contract. utils.js already exports findEnclosingClass, normalize, and walk to these files, so add the two helpers there and import them.

  • projects/internals/eslint/src/local/require-animation-frame-cleanup.js#L64-L74: delete both local helpers and import them from ./utils.js.
  • projects/internals/eslint/src/local/require-gpu-resource-cleanup.js#L80-L90: delete both local helpers and import them from ./utils.js.
  • projects/internals/eslint/src/local/require-observer-disconnect.js#L78-L88: delete both local helpers and import them from ./utils.js.
♻️ Proposed shared helpers in utils.js
export function thisMemberText(node, context) {
  if (node.type !== 'MemberExpression' || node.object.type !== 'ThisExpression') return null;
  return normalize(context.sourceCode.getText(node));
}

export function propertyDefinitionAsThisMember(node, context) {
  if (node.static) return null;
  if (node.key.type === 'PrivateIdentifier') return `this.#${node.key.name}`;
  if (node.key.type === 'Identifier') return `this.${node.key.name}`;
  return `this[${context.sourceCode.getText(node.key)}]`;
}

Then in each rule file:

-import { findEnclosingClass, normalize, walk } from './utils.js';
+import {
+  findEnclosingClass,
+  normalize,
+  propertyDefinitionAsThisMember,
+  thisMemberText,
+  walk
+} from './utils.js';

Also climb through ExportDefaultDeclaration.

The loop only steps to ExportNamedDeclaration. For a default-exported function, the comment is attached before the export token, so getCommentsBefore on the FunctionDeclaration returns nothing and the climb stops immediately. Every hot-path rule then ignores this annotation:

/** `@hotPath` */
export default function tick(items) {
  return items.filter(Boolean); // not reported
}
