@neutrinojs/stylelint

Neutrino stylelint Middleware

@neutrinojs/stylelint is Neutrino middleware for linting styles using stylelint.

Requirements

• Node.js v6 LTS, v8, v9
• Yarn v1.2.1+, or npm v5.4+
• Neutrino v8

Installation

@neutrinojs/stylelint can be installed via the Yarn or npm clients.

Yarn

❯ yarn add @neutrinojs/stylelint

npm

❯ npm install --save @neutrinojs/stylelint

Usage

@neutrinojs/stylelint can be consumed from the Neutrino API, middleware, or presets. Require this package and plug it into Neutrino:

// Using function middleware format
const stylelint = require('@neutrinojs/stylelint');

// Usage shows default values
neutrino.use(stylelint, {
  pluginId: 'stylelint',
  files: '**/*.+(css|scss|sass|less)',
  context: neutrino.options.source,
  failOnError: neutrino.options.command !== 'start'
});

Options are passed to stylelint-webpack-plugin. See the stylelint Node API for all available options.

Information

By default this middleware will show errors and warnings in the console during development, and will cause a failure when creating a build bundle.

stylelint CLI

This is the recommended way to perform a one-off lint in a Neutrino project.

You can also have Neutrino invoke stylelint for you if you wish to perform a one-time lint. This avoids needing to install stylelint manually, creating a .stylelint.js file, or having to manage includes and ignores. As long as the stylelint middleware is loaded, you have access to a command to run stylelint from the command line.

This middleware registers a command named stylelint which programmatically calls stylelint and prints the results to the console.

❯ neutrino stylelint

❯ neutrino stylelint --fix

stylelintrc Config

If you cannot or do not wish to use Neutrino to execute one-off linting, you can still use stylelint manually.

@neutrinojs/stylelint also provides a method for getting the stylelint configuration suitable for use in a stylelintrc file. Typically this is used for providing hints or fix solutions to the development environment, e.g. IDEs and text editors. Doing this requires creating an instance of the Neutrino API and providing the middleware it uses. If you keep all this information in a .neutrinorc.js, this should be relatively straightforward. By providing all the middleware used to Neutrino, you can ensure all the linting options used across all middleware will be merged together for your development environment, without the need for copying, duplication, or loss of organization and separation.

This middleware registers another command named stylelintrc which returns a stylelint configuration object suitable for consumption by the stylelint CLI. Use the Neutrino API's call method to invoke this command:

Example: Create a .stylelintrc.js file in the root of the project, using .neutrinorc.js middleware.

// .stylelintrc.js
const { Neutrino } = require('neutrino');

// Specify middleware to Neutrino prior to calling stylelintrc.
// Even if using .neutrinorc.js, you must specify it when using
// the API
module.exports = Neutrino({ root: __dirname })
  .use('.neutrinorc.js')
  .call('stylelintrc');

Example: Create a .stylelintrc.js file in the root of the project, using specified middleware.

// .stylelintrc.js
const { Neutrino } = require('neutrino');

module.exports = Neutrino({ root: __dirname })
  .use('@neutrinojs/stylelint', {
    config: {
      rules: { 'max-empty-lines': 2 }
    }
  })
  .call('stylelint');

If you are able, only use a .stylelint.js file for editor hints, and use the Neutrino stylelint command for one-off linting or fixes. Loading stylelint configuration from .stylelint.js that is not .neutrinorc.js or uses configuration that differs from .neutrinorc.js could lead to unintended consequences such as linting not failing or passing when expected, or working differently when running different commands. Closely evaluate whether you actually need to make these rule changes in .stylelint.js over .neutrinorc.js.
