TransitiveImport

Severity: Medium | Category: Best Practices

A detector that warns about transitive imports.

Why is it bad?​

Tact allows transitive imports, which it should not have in the first place since it might hinder the intended logic.

Example​

// a.tact
const Foo: Int = 42;

// b.tact
import "./a";
const Bar: Int = 43;

// c.tact
import "./b";

// here Foo and Bar are both available

Use instead:

// a.tact
const Foo: Int = 42;

// b.tact
import "./a";
const Bar: Int = 43;

// c.tact
import "./a"; // Fixed: Explicit import
import "./b";

// here Foo and Bar are both available
