CSSLint-CLI

Alternative CLI for CSSLint.

Get it

npm install csslint-cli -g

or

git clone [e-mail]:dmi3y/csslint-cli.git
cd csslint-cli && grunt

Usage

CLI

    csslint-cli [options]* [file|dir [file|dir]]*

From scripts

    var csslintCli = require('csslint-cli');
 
    csslintCli.init(options/*object*/, targets/*array*/);

Features:

• Looks up directory (till the top or user home) for first available .csslintrc file.

• Checks every target directory for .csslintrc and accordingly applying it to all child targets.

• Multiply targets csslint-cli --errors=ids styles/a.css styles/b.css styles/c.css legacy/styles/.

• Improved visual feedback.
  

• Additional parameters:

  • --squash - merging warnings|errors|ignores provided via CLI into `.csslintrc' rules instead of overriding.
  • --config - path to arbitrary .csslintrc file, it will block looking up and checking targets directories for rc file, that's most likely usecase for this option.
  • --threshold=0|1|2|ignore|warnings|errors - setup report level for rules which are not explicitly set, default is 1 (warnings).

• Backward compatability with original CLI.

• .csslintrc multiformat support, with comments in json.

  Original CLI inspired format:

      --errors=ids,zero-units
      --warnings=shorthand,text-indent
      --ignore=star-property-hack,floats
  

  Reads the same as its json represintation:

      {
          "errors": [
              "ids",
              "zero-units"
          ],
          "warnings": [
              "shorthand", /* cleanup */
              "text-indent"
          ],
          "ignore": [
              "star-property-hack", // legacy
              "floats"
          ]
      }

  And same as block style rules json:

      {
          "ids": 2, // errors
          "zero-units": true, // errors
          "shorthand": 0, /* warnings */
          "text-indent": "", /* warnings */
          "star-property-hack": 1, // ignore
          "floats": false // ignore
      }

• Custom reporters hook ups.
