@balena/lint v9.3.1

@balena/lint

@balena/lint is a linter & formatter based on eslint and prettier to detect style errors based on balena.io coding guidelines.

Overview

@balena/lint uses balena's .eslintrc.js and .prettierrc. If a .eslintrc.js is found in the to-be-linted project directory or its parents then the rules found in it will be merged with the default @balena/lint ones. Another way to to override the default balena lint rules is by specifying a configuration file with the -f parameter.

Files checked

By default.ts and .tsx files are linted. You can also specify additional file extensions to be parse by using the -e option. Eg: "-e js -e jsx"

Prettier

You can reference the prettier configuration file to your consumer project from ./config/.prettierrc.

Usage

You can use this module as:

1. A standalone project by installing it with npm install -g @balena/lint:

   kostas@macbook:~/balena/test$ balena-lint src/
     ✓ src/test.ts
   
     ✓ Ok! » 0 errors and 0 warnings in 1 file

2. A development dependency in package.json with npm install --save-dev @balena/lint. Then you can use the module in your build/testing process:

   package.json
   ------------
   ...
   "scripts": {
     "lint": "balena-lint src/ && echo \"Done!\""
   },
   ...
   
   kostas@macbook:~/balena/test$ npm run lint
   
   > test@1.0.0 lint /Users/kostas/balena/test
   > balena-lint src/ && echo "Done!"
   
     ✓ src/test.ts
   
     ✓ Ok! » 0 errors and 0 warnings in 1 file
   
     Done!

3. A development dependency, that will get picked up by your IDE/Editor eslint/prettier.

Manually create these config files in your project root:

.eslintrc.js

{
  "extends": [
    "./node_modules/@balena/lint/config/.eslintrc.js"
  ]
}

For prettier config create .prettierrc.js

const fs = require('fs');

module.exports = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('./node_modules/@balena/lint/config/.prettierrc', 'utf8'));

Rules that require type information

Some linting rules such as no-floating-promises require Typescript type information. To enable these rules, use the -t option to point to your project's tsconfig.json file, if any. Without the -t option, those rules will be disabled but may still print a warning message such as:
Warning: The 'no-floating-promises' rule requires type information.
To prevent this warning message from being printed, override the rules by creating a .eslintrc.js file as described in the previous sections. For example:

{
    "extends": "./node_modules/@balena/lint/config/.eslintrc.js",
    "rules": {
        "no-floating-promises": false
    }
}
