@nx/linter

What is @nx/linter?

@nx/linter is a package designed to integrate linting capabilities into Nx workspaces. It provides tools to ensure code quality and consistency across projects by leveraging popular linters like ESLint.

What are @nx/linter's main functionalities?

Linting Configuration

This feature allows you to configure linting scripts in your package.json file. By running `nx lint`, you can lint your entire workspace or specific projects.

{"scripts":{"lint":"nx lint"}}

Custom Lint Rules

You can extend and customize lint rules to fit your project's needs. This example shows how to extend the default Nx React configuration and add custom rules like disallowing console logs and enforcing semicolons.

{"eslintConfig":{"extends":["plugin:@nrwl/nx/react"],"rules":{"no-console":"error","semi":["error","always"]}}}

Linting Specific Projects

This feature allows you to lint specific projects within your Nx workspace. By specifying the project name, you can run linting only on that project, which can save time and resources.

{"scripts":{"lint:app":"nx lint my-app","lint:lib":"nx lint my-lib"}}

Other packages similar to @nx/linter

eslint

ESLint is a widely-used linting tool for JavaScript and TypeScript. It is highly configurable and can be extended with plugins and custom rules. Unlike @nx/linter, which is tailored for Nx workspaces, ESLint is a more general-purpose tool.

tslint

TSLint is a linter specifically for TypeScript. It has been deprecated in favor of ESLint, but it was once a popular choice for TypeScript projects. @nx/linter can integrate with ESLint to provide TypeScript linting, making it a more modern choice.

stylelint

Stylelint is a linter for CSS and other style languages. It helps enforce consistent conventions and avoid errors in stylesheets. While @nx/linter focuses on JavaScript and TypeScript, Stylelint is specialized for styles.
