# detekt

detektMain works fast and well in small modules, but if I run detektMain on the whole project, it takes too long and requires too much RAM. The regular detekt command works fine. I suppose it’s because type checking requires a lot of resources. Maybe @Sam you know a way to run detektMain (with type checking) without such high resource requirements?

Not my area of expertise, I think you'd have to ask the project maintainers

Citing the docs

Detekt offers a compiler plugin for K1 which allows you to run detekt as part of the Kotlin compilation process. This allows you to run detekt on your code without having separate tasks to invoke and results in much faster execution of detekt, especially if you're using type resolution. Please note that Detekt Compiler Plugin is an experimental extension of detekt.
