@types/vfile-message

What is @types/vfile-message?

@types/vfile-message provides TypeScript type definitions for the vfile-message package, which is used to create and manage messages associated with virtual files. These messages can be warnings, errors, or informational notes that are generated during file processing.

What are @types/vfile-message's main functionalities?

Creating a Message

This feature allows you to create a new message object with a specific reason, file, and location. The message can be used to indicate warnings, errors, or other information related to file processing.

const VFileMessage = require('vfile-message');
const message = new VFileMessage('This is a warning message', 'example.js', '1:1');
console.log(message);

Setting Message Properties

This feature allows you to set additional properties on a message object, such as marking it as fatal or associating it with a specific rule ID. This can be useful for categorizing and handling messages appropriately.

const VFileMessage = require('vfile-message');
const message = new VFileMessage('This is an error message', 'example.js', '2:5');
message.fatal = true;
message.ruleId = 'example-rule';
console.log(message);

Formatting a Message

This feature allows you to format a message object as a string, which can be useful for logging or displaying the message in a user-friendly format.

const VFileMessage = require('vfile-message');
const message = new VFileMessage('This is an informational message', 'example.js', '3:10');
console.log(String(message));
