typescript/adjacent-overload-signatures Style ​

What it does ​

Require that function overload signatures be consecutive.

Why is this bad? ​

Function overload signatures represent multiple ways a function can be called, potentially with different return types. It's typical for an interface or type alias describing a function to place all overload signatures next to each other. If Signatures placed elsewhere in the type are easier to be missed by future developers reading the code.

Example ​

typescript
declare namespace Foo {
  export function foo(s: string): void;
  export function foo(n: number): void;
  export function bar(): void;
  export function foo(sn: string | number): void;
}

type Foo = {
  foo(s: string): void;
  foo(n: number): void;
  bar(): void;
  foo(sn: string | number): void;
};

interface Foo {
  foo(s: string): void;
  foo(n: number): void;
  bar(): void;
  foo(sn: string | number): void;
}

class Foo {
  foo(s: string): void;
  foo(n: number): void;
  bar(): void {}
  foo(sn: string | number): void {}
}

export function foo(s: string): void;
export function foo(n: number): void;
export function bar(): void;
export function foo(sn: string | number): void;
