# `Soundcheck.Check.Readability.AssignsDotAccess`
[🔗](https://github.com/leonqadirie/soundcheck/blob/v0.1.0/lib/soundcheck/check/readability/assigns_dot_access.ex#L1)

## Basics

> #### This check is disabled by default. {: .neutral}
>
> [Learn how to enable it](`e:credo:config_file.html#checks`) via `.credo.exs`.

This check has a base priority of `low` and works with any version of Elixir.

## Explanation

Flags `assigns.key` in template expressions where `@key` is the
idiomatic spelling. LiveView tracks both the same way, so this is a
consistency rule, not a performance one.

Before:

    <p>{assigns.title}</p>

After:

    <p>{@title}</p>

`assigns[:key]` is not reported: it returns `nil` for a missing key
where `@key` raises, so the two are not interchangeable.

Confidence: high. Tier: syntactic (works without compiling).

## Check-Specific Parameters

Use the following parameters to configure this check:

### `:excluded_paths`

  Paths to skip (atoms, binaries as path segments, or regexes).

*This parameter defaults to* `[~r/\/test\//, "test"]`.

### `:strict`

  Unused.

*This parameter defaults to* `false`.

## General Parameters

Like with all checks, [general params](`e:credo:check_params.html`) can be applied.

Parameters can be configured via the [`.credo.exs` config file](`e:credo:config_file.html`).
