Introduction

eslint-plugin-css is an ESLint plugin that provides rules to verify CSS definition objects.

::: WORKING IN PROGRESS :::

:name_badge: Features

This ESLint plugin provides linting rules to verify CSS definition objects.

• Find the wrong usage of CSS definition objects, and their hints.
• Support for Vue and JSX (React).
• Partial support for styled-components style objects.

You can check on the Online DEMO.

:question: Why is it ESLint plugin?

Stylelint partially supports CSS in JS, but some issues haven't been resolved for a long time.
Also, CSS definitions using template literals are similar to CSS syntax, but CSS definitions using JavaScript objects are not. ESLint may work better for linting JavaScript objects.

:book: Documentation

See documents.

:cd: Installation

npm install --save-dev eslint eslint-plugin-css

Requirements

• ESLint v7.0.0 and above
• Node.js v12.22.x, v14.17.x, v16.x and above

:book: Usage

Add css to the plugins section of your .eslintrc configuration file (you can omit the eslint-plugin- prefix) and either use one of the two configurations available (recommended or all) or configure the rules you want:

The recommended configuration (eslint.config.js)

The plugin.configs["flat/recommended"] config enables a subset of the rules that should be most useful to most users. See lib/configs/flat/recommended.ts for more details.

// eslint.config.js
import * as cssPlugin from "eslint-plugin-css"
export default [
    cssPlugin.configs["flat/recommended"],
];

The recommended configuration (.eslintrc.*)

The plugin:css/recommended config enables a subset of the rules that should be most useful to most users. See lib/configs/recommended.ts for more details.

// .eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
    "plugins": [
        "css"
    ],
    "extends": [
         // add more generic rulesets here, such as:
         // 'eslint:recommended',
        "plugin:css/recommended"
    ]
}

The standard configuration (eslint.config.js)

The plugin.configs["flat/standard"] config enables a subset of the rules and superset of plugin.configs["flat/recommended"] config that apply a subjective style. See lib/configs/flat/standard.ts for more details.

// eslint.config.js
import * as cssPlugin from "eslint-plugin-css"
export default [
    cssPlugin.configs["flat/standard"],
];

The standard configuration (.eslintrc.*)

The plugin:css/standard config enables a subset of the rules and superset of plugin:css/recommended config that apply a subjective style. See lib/configs/standard.ts for more details.

// .eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
    "plugins": [
        "css"
    ],
    "extends": [
        "plugin:css/standard"
    ]
}

Advanced Configuration

Override/add specific rules configurations. See also: http://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring.

// eslint.config.js
import * as cssPlugin from "eslint-plugin-css"
export default [
    {
        plugins: { css: cssPlugin },
        rules: {
            // Override/add rules settings here, such as:
            "css/rule-name": "error"
        }
    }
];

// .eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
    "plugins": [
        "css"
    ],
    "rules": {
        // Override/add rules settings here, such as:
        "css/rule-name": "error"
    }
}

Using "plugin:css/all"

The plugin.configs["flat/all"] / plugin:css/all config enables all rules. It's meant for testing, not for production use because it changes with every minor and major version of the plugin. Use it at your own risk.

How does ESLint detect CSS objects?

All CSS-related rules are applied to code that passes any of the following checks:

• style={ {} } JSX attribute expression

  const jsx = <div
      style={ {/* JSX attribute expression */} }
  />

• v-bind:style="{}" Vue directive

  <template>
      <div
          v-bind:style="{/* Vue directive */}"
      />
  </template>

• CSS definition function call for styled-components

  e.g.

  import styled, { css, createGlobalStyle } from 'styled-components'
  
  styled.input({/* CSS */})
  styled.input.attrs({})({/* CSS */})
  css({/* CSS */})
  createGlobalStyle({/* CSS */})

• According to settings.css.target settings.

However, if you want to take advantage of the rules in any of your custom objects that are CSS objects, you might need to use the special comment // @css that marks an object in the next line as a CSS object in any file, e.g.:

// @css
const myStyle = {
  height: '100px'
}

:white_check_mark: Rules

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by rules which have a wrench :wrench: below.
The rules with the following star :star: are included in the plugin:css/recommended config and the plugin:css/standard config.
The rules with the following lipstick :lipstick: are included in the plugin:css/standard config.
