Add way to configure object complexity?

[yamalight]

Would it be possible to have a way to say that I want the rules to apply only to objects that has more than X properties?
E.g. I want to allow using things like this:

doThings({just: '123', twoProps: 'value'});

But disallow writing complex objects (more than 3 props or have nested objects, etc).

@yamalight Yes, that should definitely be possible and would make a good enhancement.
I'll look into implementing that this weekend.

My first thoughts are that I'll just add the ability to pass a second parameter in the config file that indicates when the rule should be applied (e.g. the number of properties that must exist before the rule applies). So, for 'no-object-properties-one-line', something like this:

{
    "rules": {
        "objects/no-object-properties-one-line": [2,3]
    }
}

In this case, the maximum number of properties allowed on one line would be 3 (the second param) - if more were placed on a single line then an error would be thrown.
If I default the 'limit' to 1 then the rules would function as they do now.

Let me know if you have different ideas about how this should be implemented...

Maybe it'd be better to use object config similar to key-spacing rule. Then it'd be possible to extend it later without breaking compatibility.
E.g:

{
    "rules": {
        "objects/no-object-properties-one-line": [2, {"properties": 3, "nested": 1}]
    }
}

What do you think?

Yes, that looks better... I'll take a look at how key-spacing implements that.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Cool, thanks for quick reply!
