Hi all 👋 ,
Can we create rule based on visibility modifier?

For example,
Max function name length for public functions - 30
Max function name length for internal and private functions - 60

Nope that’s not possible at the moment. We’re working on allowing you to instantiate a rule multiple times, but still you won’t be able to selectively apply a rule based on visibility modifier

[Abhimanyu]

What does "instantiate a rule multiple times" imply?

[gammax]

You’ll be able to instantiate the same rule twice (say LongMethod ) with different parameters say different part of the codebase (i.e. tests vs prod code or so).

You can create a custom rule for that.
