editorconfig
Advanced tools
The editorconfig npm package is used to parse and apply editor configuration from .editorconfig files. These files are designed to maintain consistent coding styles across different editors and IDEs for a project. The package helps in reading the .editorconfig file and applying the configurations to the code editor.
Parse .editorconfig files
This feature allows you to parse an .editorconfig file to retrieve the configurations for a given file path. The parse function returns a promise that resolves with the configuration object.
const editorconfig = require('editorconfig');
editorconfig.parse(filePath).then(config => {
console.log(config);
});
Parse from a specific position in a file
This feature is useful when you want to get the configuration that applies from a specific line number in a file. It can be helpful when dealing with files that may have different configurations at different positions.
const editorconfig = require('editorconfig');
editorconfig.parse(filePath, { start: lineNumber }).then(config => {
console.log(config);
});
Generate editor configurations
This feature allows you to generate the contents of an .editorconfig file based on a given configuration object. The generate function returns a promise that resolves with the string content of the .editorconfig file.
const editorconfig = require('editorconfig');
const configs = {
indent_style: 'space',
indent_size: 2
};
editorconfig.generate(configs).then(content => {
console.log(content);
});
Prettier is an opinionated code formatter that supports many languages and integrates with most editors. Unlike editorconfig, which focuses on maintaining consistent coding styles, Prettier reformats your code according to its own set of rules, which can be customized.
ESLint is a tool for identifying and reporting on patterns found in ECMAScript/JavaScript code. It is more comprehensive than editorconfig as it can enforce coding standards and also find problematic patterns or code that doesn’t adhere to certain style guidelines.
Stylelint is a modern linter that helps you avoid errors and enforce conventions in your stylesheets. It is similar to editorconfig but is specifically designed for CSS, SCSS, and other styling languages, offering more detailed control over style rules.
