fs-lint

fs-lint

File naming consistency verification tool.

What is this?

It just checks that all your files, or different subsets of your files, follow a consistent naming convention. For example, you may want all your CSS or SASS or Stylus files to be named using a lowercase-with-dashes.css convention.

Install

Most of the time:

$ npm install fs-lint --save-dev

You can install it globally as well.

CLI Usage

Example:

$ node_modules/.bin/fs-lint --help

  Usage: fs-lint [options]

  Options:

    -h, --help           output usage information
    -c, --config <file>  specify configuration file
    -v, --verbose        show more information
    --color              force color display out of a TTY

$ cat .fs-lint
{
  "rules": [
    {
      "files": [
        "assets/js/**/*.coffee",
        "lib/{,*/}*.coffee",
        "routes/*.coffee"
      ],
      "naming": "lowerCamelCase",
      "level": "error"
    },
    {
      "files": "assets/css/**/*.styl",
      "naming": "lowercase-dash",
      "level": "warning"
    }
  ]
}
$ node_modules/.bin/fs-lint
error: violates 'lowerCamelCase' naming: lib/FooBar.coffee
warning: violates 'lowercase-dash' naming: assets/css/fooBar.styl

Programmatic Usage

The module exports a class FsLint, that generates events.

FsLint.process(config, baseDir): check files, just like the CLI tool is doing. the config object should have the same organisation as the .fs-lint files, see above. The baseDir defaults to process.cwd, it specifies where the tool is looking for the patterns. Return false if some errors where encountered, true otherwise.

Event entry(entry): when there's a warning or error. entry contains naming, filePath, isError.

Event pattern(pattern): when starting globbing a path pattern.

Event unknownLevel(level): when stumbling upon an invalid level in the config.

Event unknownNaming(naming): when stumbling upon an invalid naming.

Event emptyPattern(pattern): when a path pattern does not match any file.

Limitations

• Can't specify custom naming conventions;
• don't provide a Grunt task. Feel free to implement one.

Roadmap

• Write proper tests;
• allow the config. to specify custom naming conventions.
