Best way to deal with operator-linebreak and long line length

[KayakinKoder]

In a few places where code is indented a bit and we have something like this: myObject.ProbablyTooLong.PropertyName = somethingElse.That.IsLong;

We had previously broken the line up to avoid max-len violations:

myObject.ProbablyTooLong.PropertyName
       = somethingElse.That.IsLong;

A recent update now gives us operator-linebreak errors, There should be no line break before or after '='

Does anyone have suggestions on best practice here? Thank you

I'd disable the max-len rule for this case; line length is a poor proxy anyways for managing complexity.

Our guide also discourages mutation - what object are you deeply modifying?

[KayakinKoder]

Thanks, we'll do that. Not exactly sure what you mean by "what object", but a custom object. I can't reveal our app code of course but an example might be:

const person = { email: 'john@doe.com', visits: {} };

// some business logic

person.visits.visitsToCheckoutPage= 1;

[ljharb]

In that case i'd probably do const { visits } = person; visits.visitsToCheckoutPage = 1, but i'd still recommend avoiding mutations entirely.

As always, thanks, I'll have to do some reading on how to avoid mutations.
