# selector-max-compound-selectors
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Limit the number of compound selectors in a selector.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
div .bar[data-val] > a.baz + .boom > #lorem {}
|
||
|
|
/* ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑ ↑
|
||
|
|
| | | | |
|
||
|
|
Lv1 Lv2 Lv3 Lv4 Lv5 -- these are compound selectors */
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A [compound selector](https://www.w3.org/TR/selectors4/#compound) is a chain of one or more simple (tag, class, id, universal, attribute) selectors. If there is more than one compound selector in a complete selector, they will be separated by combinators (e.g. ` `, `+`, `>`). One reason why you might want to limit the number of compound selectors is described in the [SMACSS book](https://smacss.com/book/applicability).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This rule resolves nested selectors before calculating the depth of a selector.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`:not()` is considered one compound selector irrespective to the complexity of the selector inside it. The rule *does* process that inner selector, but does so separately, independent of the main selector.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Options
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`int`: Maximum compound selectors allowed.
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
For example, with `3`:

The following patterns are considered warnings:

|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
.foo .bar .baz .lorem {}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
.foo .baz {
|
||
|
|
& > .bar .lorem {}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following patterns are *not* considered warnings:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
div {}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
.foo div {}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
#foo #bar > #baz {}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```css
|
||
|
|
.foo + div :not (a b ~ c) {} /* `a b ~ c` is inside :not() and is processed separately */
|
||
|
|
```
