@sazuru/stylelint-config-rational-order

Stylelint config that sorts related property declarations by grouping together following the order:

1. Positioning
2. Box Model
3. Typography
4. Visual
5. Animation
6. Misc

.declaration-order {
  /* Positioning */
  position: absolute;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
  bottom: 0;
  left: 0;
  z-index: 10;

  /* Box Model */
  display: block;
  float: right;
  width: 100px;
  height: 100px;
  margin: 10px;
  padding: 10px;

  /* Typography */
  color: #888;
  font: normal 16px Helvetica, sans-serif;
  line-height: 1.3;
  text-align: center;

  /* Visual */
  background-color: #eee;
  border: 1px solid #888;
  border-radius: 4px;
  opacity: 1;

  /* Animation */
  transition: all 1s;

  /* Misc */
  user-select: none;
}

Usage

1. Add stylelint, stylelint-order and this package to your project:

npm install --save-dev stylelint stylelint-order @sazuru/stylelint-config-rational-order

or, if you prefer yarn over npm:

yarn add --dev stylelint stylelint-order @sazuru/stylelint-config-rational-order

2. Add this package to the end of your extends array inside Stylelint configuration (.stylelintrc for example):

{
  "extends": [
    ...(rest of your stylelint config),
    "@sazuru/stylelint-config-rational-order"
  ]
}

This shareable config contains the following:

{
  "plugins": [
    "stylelint-order",
    "@sazuru/stylelint-config-rational-order/plugin"
  ],
  "rules": {
    "order/properties-order": [],
    "plugin/rational-order": [true, {
      "border-in-box-model": false,
      "empty-line-between-groups": false,
    }]
  }
}

Since it adds stylelint-order and @sazuru/stylelint-config-rational-order to plugins and also adds required rules, you don't have to do this yourself when extending this config.

Optional options / rules

border-in-box-model

Defines to which group the border property belongs to.

If true border property belongs to the box model section. The default value is false (border property belongs to the visual section).

empty-line-between-groups

If true adds an empty line between groups. The default value is false.
