tslint-react

Lint rules related to React & JSX for TSLint.

Usage

Sample configuration where tslint.json lives adjacent to your node_modules folder:

{
  "extends": ["tslint:latest", "tslint-react"],
  "rules": {
    // enable tslint-react rules here
    "jsx-no-lambda": true
  }
}

Rules

• jsx-alignment
  • Enforces a consistent style for multiline JSX elements which promotes ease of editing via line-wise manipulations as well as maintainabilty via small diffs when changes are made.

  // Good:
  const element = <div
      className="foo"
      tabIndex={1}
  >
      {children}
  </div>;
  
  // Also Good:
  <Button
      appearance="pretty"
      disabled
      label="Click Me"
      size={size}
  />
  

• jsx-no-lambda
  • Creating new anonymous functions (with either the function syntax or ES2015 arrow syntax) inside the render call stack works against pure component rendering. When doing an equality check between two lambdas, React will always consider them unequal values and force the component to re-render more often than necessary.
  • Rule options: none
• jsx-no-string-ref
  • Passing strings to the ref prop of React elements is considered a legacy feature and will soon be deprecated. Instead, use a callback.
  • Rule options: none

Development

We track rule suggestions on Github issues -- here's a useful link to view all the current suggestions. Tickets are roughly triaged by priority (P1, P2, P3).

We're happy to accept PRs for new rules, especially those marked as Status: Accepting PRs. If submitting a PR, try to follow the same style conventions as the core TSLint project.
