Suggest new rule

[aryelu]

Description

Introduces a new ESLint rule, no-complex-conditionals, to improve code readability by limiting the number of logical operators (&&, ||, ??) within conditional statements (e.g., if, while, for, do-while, ternary).

The rule aims to prevent overly complex conditions that are difficult to parse and maintain, encouraging developers to extract intricate logic into separate variables or functions. It is configurable via maxOperators, with a default limit of 2.

Fixes # (issue)

Type of change

• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
• Documentation update

How Has This Been Tested?

A new test file, tests/no-complex-conditionals.test.ts, was created following a TDD approach. It includes comprehensive valid and invalid cases to verify the rule's behavior with default and custom maxOperators configurations across different conditional statement types.

To reproduce, run:

pnpm test tests/no-complex-conditionals.test.ts
