What are stylelint-config-standard's main functionalities?

Extensible Configuration

This package provides a base set of rules for Stylelint, which can be extended in a project's .stylelintrc configuration file. By extending stylelint-config-standard, you inherit a standard set of rules that can be customized further.

{
  "extends": "stylelint-config-standard"
}

Enforce Stylistic Conventions

The package enforces stylistic conventions such as lowercase hex colors, indentation levels, and leading zeros in numbers. These rules help maintain consistency across your project's stylesheets.

{
  "rules": {
    "color-hex-case": "lower",
    "indentation": 2,
    "number-leading-zero": "always"
  }
}

Customizable Rules

While it provides a standard set of rules, it also allows for customization. Developers can override or extend the rules to fit their project's specific needs, such as allowing certain at-rules that are not part of CSS specifications but are used by preprocessors.

{
  "extends": "stylelint-config-standard",
  "rules": {
    "at-rule-no-unknown": [ true, {
      "ignoreAtRules": ["extends", "ignores"]
    }]
  }
}

Other packages similar to stylelint-config-standard

stylelint-config-recommended

This package is a lighter version of the standard configuration, focusing on possible error rules rather than stylistic rules. It's a good starting point for projects that want to enforce error checking without imposing stylistic choices.

stylelint-config-sass-guidelines

This package extends stylelint-config-standard and adds rules specific to Sass, such as those for nesting depth, name formats, and other conventions. It's tailored for projects that use Sass and want to adhere to common guidelines.

stylelint-prettier

This package integrates Stylelint with Prettier, an opinionated code formatter. It disables all rules that might conflict with Prettier, allowing developers to use Stylelint for linting and Prettier for formatting.

README

stylelint-config-standard

The standard shareable config for Stylelint.

It extends stylelint-config-recommended and turns on additional rules to enforce modern conventions found in the CSS specifications.

To see the rules that this config uses, please read the config itself.

Example

@import url("foo.css");
@import url("bar.css");

@custom-media --foo (min-width: 30em);

/**
 * Multi-line comment
 */

:root {
  --brand-red: hsl(5deg 10% 40%);
}

/* Single-line comment */

.class-foo:not(a, div) {
  margin: 0;
  top: calc(100% - 2rem);
}

/* Flush single line comment */
@media (width >= 60em) {
  #id-bar {
    /* Flush to parent comment */
    --offset: 0px;

    color: #fff;
    font-family: Helvetica, "Arial Black", sans-serif;
    left: calc(var(--offset) + 50%);
  }

  /* Flush nested single line comment */
  a::after {
    display: block;
    content: "→";
    background-image: url("x.svg");
  }
}

@keyframes fade-in {
  from {
    opacity: 0;
  }

  to {
    opacity: 1;
  }
}

Note: the config is tested against this example, as such the example contains plenty of CSS syntax and features.

Installation

npm install stylelint-config-standard --save-dev

Usage

Set your Stylelint config to:

{
  "extends": "stylelint-config-standard"
}

Extending the config

Add a "rules" key to your config, then add your overrides and additions there.

You can turn off rules by setting its value to null. For example:

{
  "extends": "stylelint-config-standard",
  "rules": {
    "selector-class-pattern": null
  }
}

Or lower the severity of a rule to a warning using the severity secondary option. For example:

{
  "extends": "stylelint-config-standard",
  "rules": {
    "property-no-vendor-prefix": [
      true,
      {
        "severity": "warning"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Or to add a rule, For example, the unit-allowed-list one:

{
  "extends": "stylelint-config-standard",
  "rules": {
    "unit-allowed-list": ["em", "rem", "s"]
  }
}

We recommend adding more of Stylelint's rules to your config as these rules need to be configured to suit your specific needs.
