eslint-plugin-deprecate-classnames

This plugin helps you refactor your codebase by identifying and replacing deprecated css class names.

Installation

First, you'll need to install ESLint:

npm install eslint --save-dev

Next, install eslint-plugin-deprecate-classnames:

npm install eslint-plugin-deprecate-classnames --save-dev

Usage

Add deprecate-classnames to the plugins section of your .eslintrc configuration file. You can omit the eslint-plugin- prefix:

{
    "plugins": [
        "deprecate-classnames"
    ]
}

Then configure the rules you want to use under the rules section.

Rule: classnames

This rule identifies the use of deprecated class names in your JSX/TSX files and suggests alternatives.

Example:

Given the following JSX code:

<div className="test-classname test-classname-2" />

Specific classnames:

{
    "rules": {
        "deprecate-classnames/classnames": ["error",
            {"name": "test-classname", "use": "new-classname"}
        ]
    }
}

Multiple classnames:

{
    "rules": {
        "deprecate-classnames/classnames": ["error",
            {"names": ["test-classname", "test-classname-2"], "use": "new-classname"}
        ]
    }
}

Regular expression for classnames:

{
    "rules": {
        "deprecate-classnames/classnames": ["error",
            {"nameRegExp": /^test-/, "use": "new-classname"}
        ]
    }
}

Rule: classes

This rule identifies the use of deprecated class names within the classes prop used in Material-UI components and suggests alternatives.

Example:

Given the following JSX code:

<div classes={{ root: "test-classname test-classname-2" }} />

Specific classnames:

{
    "rules": {
        "deprecate-classnames/classes": ["error",
            {"name": "test-classname", "use": "new-classname"}
        ]
    }
}

Multiple classnames:

{
    "rules": {
        "deprecate-classnames/classes": ["error",
            {"names": ["test-classname", "test-classname-2"], "use": "new-classname"}
        ]
    }
}

Regular expression for classnames:

{
    "rules": {
        "deprecate-classnames/classes": ["error",
            {"nameRegExp": /^test-/, "use": "new-classname"}
        ]
    }
}

Credits

This plugin is an extension of the eslint-plugin-deprecate by AlexMost. The original plugin provides a flexible way to deprecate functions and variables, and this extension builds on that foundation to specifically target and manage deprecated class names in JSX and TSX files, with a special focus on the classes prop used in Material-UI components.
