eslint-plugin-perfectionist

What is eslint-plugin-perfectionist?

eslint-plugin-perfectionist is an ESLint plugin designed to enforce consistent code style and formatting rules. It helps developers maintain a clean and organized codebase by providing rules for sorting and organizing various code elements such as imports, properties, and more.

What are eslint-plugin-perfectionist's main functionalities?

Sort Imports

This rule enforces a specific order for import statements. In this example, the order is set to 'builtin', 'external', and 'internal' imports.

module.exports = {
  "rules": {
    "perfectionist/sort-imports": ["error", {
      "order": ["builtin", "external", "internal"]
    }]
  }
};

Sort Object Properties

This rule enforces sorting of object properties in ascending order. The 'caseSensitive' option ensures that the sorting is case-sensitive.

module.exports = {
  "rules": {
    "perfectionist/sort-keys": ["error", "asc", {
      "caseSensitive": true,
      "natural": false
    }]
  }
};

Sort Class Members

This rule enforces a specific order for class members. In this example, the order is set to 'field', 'constructor', and 'method'.

module.exports = {
  "rules": {
    "perfectionist/sort-class-members": ["error", {
      "order": ["field", "constructor", "method"]
    }]
  }
};

README

ESLint Plugin Perfectionist

ESLint plugin that sets rules to format your code and make it consistent.

This plugin defines rules for sorting various data, such as objects, imports, TypeScript types, enums, JSX props, etc.

Why

Sorting imports and properties in software development offers numerous benefits:

• Readability: Finding declarations in a sorted, large list is a little faster. Remember that you read the code much more often than you write it.

• Maintainability: Sorting imports and properties is considered a good practice in software development, contributing to code quality and consistency across the codebase.

• Code Review and Collaboration: If you set rules that say you can only do things one way, then no one will have to spend time thinking about how to do it.

• Code Uniformity: When all code looks exactly the same, it is very hard to see who wrote it, which makes achieving the lofty goal of collective code ownership easier.

• Aesthetics: This not only provides functional benefits, but also gives the code an aesthetic appeal, visually pleasing and harmonious structure.

Installation

You'll first need to install ESLint:

npm install --save-dev eslint

Next, install eslint-plugin-perfectionist:

npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-perfectionist

Usage

Add eslint-plugin-perfectionist to the plugins section of the ESLint configuration file and define the list of rules you will use.

Legacy config (.eslintrc)

{
  "plugins": ["perfectionist"],
  "rules": {
    "perfectionist/sort-array-includes": [
      "error",
      {
        "type": "line-length",
        "order": "desc",
        "spreadLast": true
      }
    ]
  }
}

Flat config (eslint.config.js) (requires eslint >= v8.23.0)

import perfectionist from 'eslint-plugin-perfectionist'

export default [
  {
    plugins: {
      perfectionist,
    },
    rules: {
      'perfectionist/sort-array-includes': [
        'error',
        {
          type: 'line-length',
          order: 'desc',
          spreadLast: true,
        },
      ],
    },
  },
