coffeelint-forbidden-regex

A CoffeeLint rule that searches for specified regular expressions in code and fails when it founds them.

Installation

npm install coffeelint-forbidden-regex

Configuration

Add the following entry to your coffeelint.json file:

"forbidden_regex": {
    "module": "coffeelint-forbidden-regex",
    "level": "error",
    "regexList": [
      "sampleForbiddenRegex1",
      "sampleForbiddenRegex2"
    ]
}

Example

If you want to reject alert('something') or alert 'something' calls, add a forbidden regular expression for coffeelint:

"forbidden_regex": {
    "module": "coffeelint-forbidden-regex",
    "level": "error",
    "regexList": [
      "\\balert[\\s\\(]"
    ]
}

\\b is the word boundary in regexps.

Rejecting the console.log calls

Keep in mind that forbidding the console calls should be done with the no_debugger checker since CoffeeLint 1.10.0:

"no_debugger": {
  "level": "error",
  "console": true
}

You should use the coffeelint-forbidden-regex for more sophisticated purposes.

Also, keep in mind that

it can slow down your linting process noticeably.
