Hi all. I know that Klint is for style &amp; formatting but since you can access PSI elements, I am wondering is it possible to write a rule which would fail if not certain class is extended. Would it be possible to do that in Ktlint?

i don’t think ktlint is the best tool for this because it wouldn’t be easy to tell, for example, if class A : B and class B : C since it mostly has access to the names and types of the elements. i’m not sure if maybe detekt is a better tool? i’ve never actually used it myself

Thanks for the response <@UL0CKFHUP>. I would agree with you. Ktlint is a tool for different purpose. Mostly, I am interested only into super type, I guess I can just match classes node `text` using regex to find whether it extends the right type.

Don't want include another dependency just for that.

yes, that would work it just wouldn’t be extremely robust.
