deno_lint

A Rust crate for writing fast JavaScript and TypeScript linters.

This crate powers deno lint, but is not Deno specific and can be used to write linters for Node as well.

NOTE Work-in-progress

Current focus is on getting recommended set of rules from ESLint and @typescript-eslint working out of the box.

See the roadmap

Performance

Blazing fast, see comparison with ESLint:

Benchmarks are run during CI on Ubuntu, using the same set of rules for both linters. Test subject is oak server consisting of about 50 files. See ./benchmarks/ directory for more info.

Ignore directives

Files

To ignore whole file // deno-lint-ignore-file directive should placed at the top of the file.

// deno-lint-ignore-file

function foo(): any {
  // ...
}

Ignore directive must be placed before first stament or declaration:

// Copyright 2020 the Deno authors. All rights reserved. MIT license.

/**
 * Some JS doc
 **/

// deno-lint-ignore-file

import { bar } from "./bar.js";

function foo(): any {
  // ...
}

Diagnostics

To ignore certain diagnostic // deno-lint-ignore <codes...> directive should be placed before offending line.

// deno-lint-ignore no-explicit-any
function foo(): any {
  // ...
}

// deno-lint-ignore no-explicit-any explicit-function-return-type
function bar(a: any) {
  // ...
}

Specyfing rule code that will be ignored is required.
