esbuild-plugin-denolint

Lint your esbuild bundles with denolint.

A lot faster than esbuild-plugin-eslint, handling both JavaScript and TypeScript sources. Use [rollup-plugin-denolint] for Rollup. Use webpack-loader-denolint for Webpack. Or simpler, just the command-line denolint.

Synopsis

import { build } from 'esbuild'
import { denolint } from 'esbuild-plugin-denolint'

await build({
  plugins: [denolint()]
  // the rest of the configuration
})

Installation

Make sure that you use Node.js 14 or newer and esbuild 0 or newer. Use your favourite package manager - NPM, PNPM or Yarn:

npm i -D esbuild-plugin-denolint
pnpm i -D esbuild-plugin-denolint
yarn add -D esbuild-plugin-denolint

Usage

Create a build script and import the plugin:

import { build } from 'esbuild'
import { denolint } from 'esbuild-plugin-denolint'

await build({
  entryPoints: ['src/index.js'],
  outdir: 'dist',
  plugins: [
    denolint({
      exclude: /node_modules|tests/,
      rules: {
        exclude: ['no-unused-vars']
      }
    })
  ]
})

Then call the build script.

Options

The following options can be passed in an object to the plugin function to change the default values.

filter

Type: RegExp Default: /\.(?:jsx?|tsx?)$/

Regex for file names to match source files to include.

exclude

Type: RegExp Default: /node_modules/

Regex for file names to match source files to exclude.

configFile

Type: string Default: '.denolint.json'

Config file to load the tag, rule inclusion and exclusion lists from. File inclusion and exclusion lists are ignored. Use include and exclude options of this plugin.

ignoreConfig

Type: boolean Default: false

Do not look for .denolint.json by default.

rules

Type: object Default: undefined

Rules to include or exclude. If specified, the config file will be ignored. See Rules below.

throwOnWarning

Type: boolean Default: true

Throw an error and abort if any warnings were reported.

throwOnError

Type: boolean Default: true

Throw an error and abort if source file parsing failed fatally.

format

Type: string Default: 'pretty'

Format of the warning messages. Either compact or pretty (default).

formatter

Type: boolean Default: true

Custom warning and error formatter:

(messages: string[], id: string, source: string) => string[]

Rules

The following properties are recognised in the rules object.

all

Type: boolean Default: false

Use all rules if set to true, otherwise only the recommended ones.

include

Type: string[] Default: []

List of rules to include extra, if only recommended rules are enabled.

exclude

Type: string[] Default: []

List of rules to exclude from all or recommended ones.

Alternative

Instead of checking the source files as they are processed, you can check all sources, when the bundler starts. It resembles more how the command-line denolint works and you can reuse the files.include and files.exclude configuration from .denolint.json:

import { build } from 'esbuild'
import { denolintAll } from 'esbuild-plugin-denolint'

await build({
  entryPoints: ['src/index.js'],
  outdir: 'dist',
  plugins: [
    denolintAll()
  ]
})

Optoins include, exclude, configFile, format, formatter, throwOnWarning, throwOnError are recognised. Options include, exclude override files.include and files.exclude from .denolint.json and have the same meaning. They are not passed to esbuild.
