build-lint v2.0.8

build-lint

This tool is currently in BETA

Overview

This is a command line tool that performs linting. It uses eslint to perform linting and includes the eslint-config-iservices package which defines the linting rules to be applied.

Guide

To install this tool execute the following npm console command from within your project.

npm install --save-dev build-lint

When the package is installed it will create a new .eslintrc file within the root of your project if one doesn't exist already. This file is required and can be modified to fine tune the linting rules that will be applied to your project. See the eslint configuration documentation for details about configuration options.

Once the package is installed you can run the tool from a terminal using the build-lint command. Normally you will do this within an npm script element. Take the following excerpt from an example package.json file:

{
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "build-lint \"src/**/*.js\" \"!src/tests/**/*.js\"",
    "lint-watch": "build-lint \"src/**/*.js\" \"!src/tests/**/*.js\" -w",
  }
}

In the example above the lint script will perform linting on files with an extension of .js within the src folder but not within the src/tests folder. The lint-watch script will perform linting on the same files whenever one of them is updated or added.

Also notice that the glob patterns are surrounded by double quotes. This is necessary in order to prevent the terminal from expanding the glob patterns into actual file paths.
