gulp-csslint

gulp-csslint

CSSLint plugin for gulp 3

Usage

First, install gulp-csslint as a development dependency:

npm install --save-dev gulp-csslint

Then, add it to your gulpfile.js:

var csslint = require('gulp-csslint');

gulp.task('css', function() {
  gulp.src('client/css/*.css')
    .pipe(csslint())
    .pipe(csslint.reporter());
});

API

csslint(ruleConfiguration)

ruleConfiguration

Type: Object

You can pass rule configuration as an object. See the list of rules by ID on the CSSLint wiki for valid rule IDs.

gulp.src('client/css/*.css')
  .pipe(csslint({
    'shorthand': false
  }))
  .pipe(csslint.reporter());

csslint(csslintrc)

csslintrc

Type: String

You can also pass the path to your csslintrc file instead of a rule configuration object.

gulp.src('client/css/*.css')
  .pipe(csslint('csslintrc.json'))
  .pipe(csslint.reporter());

Results

Adds the following properties to the file object:

file.csslint.success = true; // or false
file.csslint.errorCount = 0; // number of errors returned by CSSLint
file.csslint.results = []; // CSSLint errors
file.csslint.opt = {}; // The options you passed to CSSLint

Custom Reporters

Custom reporter functions can be passed as cssline.reporter(reporterFunc). The reporter function will be called for each linted file and passed the file object as described above.

var csslint = require('gulp-csslint');
var gutil = require('gulp-util');

var customReporter = function(file) {
  gutil.log(gutil.colors.cyan(file.csslint.errorCount)+' errors in '+gutil.colors.magenta(file.path));

  file.csslint.results.forEach(function(result) {
    gutil.log(result.error.message+' on line '+result.error.line);
  });
};

gulp.task('lint', function() {
  gulp.files('lib/*.css')
    .pipe(csslint())
    .pipe(csslint.reporter(customReporter));
});
