checkstyle-filter-by-name

Library for filtering rules from a checkstyle file

Installation

This library can be installed from the NPM package registry. Depending on your use case it might be better to install this package globally (if you want to run these commands from your continuous integration server for example)

Using NPM:

npm install checkstyle-filter-by-name

or Yarn

yarn add checkstyle-filter-by-name

Usage

From the command line you can run this command

./node_modules/.bin/checkstyle-filter-by-name -i [filename] -o [filename] -e [exclude regex]"

There are three command line arguments:

short arg	long arg	effect
-i	--input	the file to read from
-o	--output	the file to write to, option, if not included will write to input file
-e	--exclude	the javascript regex to determine which checkstyle entries get excluded

Provided filters

-e --exclude

Passing along the -e or --exclude flag will exclude entries within the checkstyle file that match the given regular expression. A check is performed using standard javascript regexp: RegExp(..passes argument..).test(..checkstyle entry name..). If this function returns true the file is skipped.

example

Given a file with these rules:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<checkstyle version="4.3">
	<file name="node_modules/example/example.d.ts">
		<error line="1" column="1" severity="error" message="Example" source="TS2344" />
	</file>
	<file name="example/example.d.ts">
		<error line="1" column="1" severity="error" message="Example" source="TS2344" />
	</file>
</checkstyle>

Running this command: checkstyle-filter-by-name -i typescript-error.xml -e "node_modules\\/"

Will result in a file with these rules:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<checkstyle version="4.3">
	<file name="example/example.d.ts">
		<error line="1" column="1" severity="error" message="Example" source="TS2344" />
	</file>
</checkstyle>
