**A production-ready Rust refactoring tool that intelligently splits large files into maintainable modules**
SplitRS uses AST-based analysis to automatically refactor large Rust source files (>1000 lines) into well-organized, compilable modules. It handles complex generics, async functions, Arc/Mutex patterns, and automatically generates correct imports and visibility modifiers.
## ✨ Features
### Core Refactoring
- 🎯 **AST-Based Refactoring**: Uses `syn` for accurate Rust parsing
- 🧠 **Intelligent Method Clustering**: Groups related methods using call graph analysis
- 📦 **Auto-Generated Imports**: Context-aware `use` statements with proper paths
- 🔒 **Visibility Inference**: Automatically applies `pub(super)`, `pub(crate)`, or `pub`
- 🚀 **Complex Type Support**: Handles generics, async, Arc/Mutex, nested types
- ⚡ **Fast**: Processes 1600+ line files in <1 second
- ✅ **Production-Tested**: Successfully refactored 10,000+ lines of real code

- 📊 **Metrics Dashboard**: Cyclomatic complexity analysis with HTML/JSON/text reports (`--metrics`)
- 🗂️ **Field Access Tracker**: Detects field access patterns to prevent broken visibility during splits
- 🔗 **Trait Method Tracker**: Ensures trait method implementations stay coherent after splitting
- 🖥️ **LSP Integration** (`splitrs-lsp`): Language server for real-time refactoring guidance
- Diagnostics for oversized files and impl blocks
- Code action `Refactor with splitrs` (applies a `WorkspaceEdit`)
- Hover showing file metrics (LoC, methods, complexity)
- `.splitrs.toml` config watch with hot reload
## 📦 Installation
```bash
cargo install splitrs
```
Or build from source:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/cool-japan/splitrs
cd splitrs
cargo build --release
```
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Basic Usage
```bash
# Split a large file into modules
splitrs --input src/large_file.rs --output src/large_file/
# Preview what will be created (no files written)
splitrs --input src/large_file.rs --output src/large_file/ --dry-run
# Interactive mode with confirmation
splitrs --input src/large_file.rs --output src/large_file/ --interactive
```
### Recommended Usage (with impl block splitting)
```bash
splitrs \
--input src/large_file.rs \
--output src/large_file/ \
--split-impl-blocks \
--max-impl-lines 200
```
### Using Configuration Files
Create a `.splitrs.toml` in your project root:
```toml
[splitrs]
max_lines = 1000
max_impl_lines = 500
split_impl_blocks = true
[naming]
type_module_suffix = "_type"
impl_module_suffix = "_impl"
[output]
preserve_comments = true
format_output = true
```
Then simply run:
```bash
splitrs --input src/large_file.rs --output src/large_file/
```
### LSP Integration (Editor Support)
`splitrs-lsp` is included when you `cargo install splitrs` (LSP is a default feature).
Add to your editor's LSP config:
**Neovim (nvim-lspconfig):**
```lua
require('lspconfig').splitrs_lsp.setup{}
-- Or manually:
vim.lsp.start({ name = 'splitrs-lsp', cmd = { 'splitrs-lsp' } })
```
**Helix (`languages.toml`):**
```toml
[[language]]
name = "rust"
language-servers = ["rust-analyzer", "splitrs-lsp"]
[language-server.splitrs-lsp]
command = "splitrs-lsp"
```
The LSP server provides:
- 🔴 Diagnostics when files exceed your `.splitrs.toml` `max_lines` limit
- ⚡ Code action `Refactor with splitrs` to split directly from your editor
- ℹ️ Hover at line 1 showing file metrics
To use LSP-only build without the full CLI:
```bash
cargo install splitrs --no-default-features --features lsp
```
## 📖 Examples
### Example 1: Trait Implementations
SplitRS automatically detects and separates trait implementations:
**Input**: `user.rs`
```rust
pub struct User {
pub name: String,
pub age: u32,
}
impl User {
pub fn new(name: String, age: u32) -> Self { /* ... */ }
}
impl Debug for User { /* ... */ }
impl Display for User { /* ... */ }
impl Clone for User { /* ... */ }
impl Default for User { /* ... */ }
```
**Command**:
```bash
splitrs --input user.rs --output user/ --dry-run
```
**Output**:
```
user/
├── types.rs # struct User definition + inherent impl
├── user_traits.rs # All trait implementations (Debug, Display, Clone, Default)
└── mod.rs # Module organization
```
**Generated `user_traits.rs`**:
```rust
//! # User - Trait Implementations
//!
//! This module contains trait implementations for `User`.
//!
//! ## Implemented Traits
//!
//! - `Debug`
//! - `Display`
//! - `Clone`
//! - `Default`
//!
//! 🤖 Generated with [SplitRS](https://github.com/cool-japan/splitrs)
use super::types::User;
impl Debug for User { /* ... */ }
impl Display for User { /* ... */ }
impl Clone for User { /* ... */ }
impl Default for User { /* ... */ }
```
### Example 2: Basic Refactoring
**Input**: `connection_pool.rs` (1660 lines)
```rust
pub struct ConnectionPool<T> {
connections: Arc<Mutex<Vec<T>>>,
config: PoolConfig,
// ... 50 fields
}
impl<T: Clone + Send + Sync> ConnectionPool<T> {
pub fn new(config: PoolConfig) -> Self { ... }
pub async fn acquire(&self) -> Result<T> { ... }
pub async fn release(&self, conn: T) -> Result<()> { ... }
// ... 80 methods
}
```
**Command**:
```bash
splitrs --input connection_pool.rs --output connection_pool/ --split-impl-blocks
```
**Output**: 25 well-organized modules
```
connection_pool/
├── mod.rs # Module organization & re-exports
├── connectionpool_type.rs # Type definition with proper visibility
├── connectionpool_new_group.rs # Constructor methods
├── connectionpool_acquire_group.rs # Connection acquisition
├── connectionpool_release_group.rs # Connection release
└── ... (20 more focused modules)
```
### Example 3: Preview Mode
Get detailed information before refactoring:
```bash
splitrs --input examples/trait_impl_example.rs --output /tmp/preview -n
```
**Output**:

### Example 4: Complex Types
SplitRS correctly handles complex Rust patterns:
```rust
// Input
pub struct Cache<K, V>
where
K: Hash + Eq + Clone,
V: Clone + Send + Sync + 'static,
{
data: Arc<RwLock<HashMap<K, V>>>,
eviction: EvictionPolicy,
}
// Output (auto-generated)
// cache_type.rs
use std::collections::HashMap;
use std::sync::{Arc, RwLock};
pub struct Cache<K, V>
where
K: Hash + Eq + Clone,
V: Clone + Send + Sync + 'static,
{
pub(super) data: Arc<RwLock<HashMap<K, V>>>,
pub(super) eviction: EvictionPolicy,
}
// cache_insert_group.rs
use super::cache_type::Cache;
use std::collections::HashMap;
impl<K, V> Cache<K, V>
where
K: Hash + Eq + Clone,
V: Clone + Send + Sync + 'static,
{
pub async fn insert(&mut self, key: K, value: V) -> Result<()> {
// ... implementation
}
}
```
## 🎛️ Command-Line Options
| `--input <FILE>` | `-i` | Input Rust source file (required) | - |
| `--output <DIR>` | `-o` | Output directory for modules (required) | - |
| `--max-lines <N>` | `-m` | Maximum lines per module | 1000 |
| `--split-impl-blocks` | | Split large impl blocks into method groups | false |
| `--max-impl-lines <N>` | | Maximum lines per impl block before splitting | 500 |
| `--dry-run` | `-n` | Preview without creating files | false |
| `--interactive` | `-I` | Prompt for confirmation before creating files | false |
| `--config <FILE>` | `-c` | Path to configuration file | `.splitrs.toml` |
### Configuration File Options
When using a `.splitrs.toml` file, you can configure:
**`[splitrs]` section:**
- `max_lines` - Maximum lines per module
- `max_impl_lines` - Maximum lines per impl block
- `split_impl_blocks` - Enable impl block splitting
**`[naming]` section:**
- `type_module_suffix` - Suffix for type modules (default: `"_type"`)
- `impl_module_suffix` - Suffix for impl modules (default: `"_impl"`)
- `use_snake_case` - Use snake_case for module names (default: `true`)
**`[output]` section:**
- `module_doc_template` - Template for module documentation
- `preserve_comments` - Preserve original comments (default: `true`)
- `format_output` - Format with prettyplease (default: `true`)
Command-line arguments always override configuration file settings.
## 🏗️ How It Works
SplitRS uses a multi-stage analysis pipeline:
1. **AST Parsing**: Parse input file with `syn`
2. **Scope Analysis**: Determine organization strategy and visibility
3. **Method Clustering**: Build call graph and cluster related methods
4. **Type Extraction**: Extract types from fields for import generation
5. **Module Generation**: Generate well-organized modules with correct imports
6. **Code Formatting**: Format output with `prettyplease`
### Organization Strategies
**Inline** - Keep impl blocks with type definition:
```
typename_module.rs
├── struct TypeName { ... }
└── impl TypeName { ... }
```
**Submodule** - Split type and impl blocks (recommended for large files):
```
typename_type.rs # Type definition
typename_new_group.rs # Constructor methods
typename_getters.rs # Getter methods
mod.rs # Module organization
```
**Wrapper** - Wrap in parent module:
```
typename/
├── type.rs
├── methods.rs
└── mod.rs
```
## 📊 Performance
Tested on real-world codebases:
| Small | 500-1000 | <100ms | 3-5 |
| Medium | 1000-1500 | <500ms | 5-12 |
| Large | 1500-2000 | <1s | 10-25 |
| Very Large | 2000+ | <2s | 25-40 |

### Module Structure
The codebase is organized into these main modules:
- **`main.rs`** - CLI interface, file analysis, and module generation
- **`config.rs`** - Configuration file parsing and management (`.splitrs.toml`)
- **`method_analyzer.rs`** - Method dependency analysis and grouping
- **`import_analyzer.rs`** - Type usage tracking and import generation
- **`scope_analyzer.rs`** - Module scope analysis and visibility inference
- **`dependency_analyzer.rs`** - Circular dependency detection and graph visualization
### Key Types and Traits
**Core Types:**
- `FileAnalyzer` - Main analyzer for processing Rust files
- `TypeInfo` - Information about a Rust type and its implementations
- `Module` - Represents a generated module
- `Config` - Configuration loaded from `.splitrs.toml`
**Analysis Types:**
- `ImplBlockAnalyzer` - Analyzes impl blocks for splitting
- `MethodGroup` - Groups related methods together
- `ImportAnalyzer` - Tracks type usage and generates imports
- `DependencyGraph` - Detects circular dependencies
## 📚 Use Cases
### When to Use SplitRS
✅ **Perfect for**:
- Files >1000 lines with large impl blocks
- Monolithic modules that need organization
- Legacy code refactoring
- Improving code maintainability
⚠️ **Consider Carefully**:
- Files with circular dependencies (will generate modules but may need manual fixes)
- Files with heavy macro usage (basic support, may need manual review)
❌ **Not Recommended**:
- Files <500 lines (probably already well-organized)
- Files with complex conditional compilation (`#[cfg]`)
