What is this?

This package is a helper that makes it a bit easier to create linting rules.

When should I use this?

You can use this package when you want to make custom lint rules.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install unified-lint-rule

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {lintRule} from 'https://esm.sh/unified-lint-rule@3'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {lintRule} from 'https://esm.sh/unified-lint-rule@3?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {lintRule} from 'unified-lint-rule'

const remarkLintFileExtension = lintRule(
  'remark-lint:file-extension',
  function (tree, file, options) {
    const ext = file.extname
    const option = options || 'md'

    if (ext && ext.slice(1) !== option) {
      file.message('Incorrect extension: use `' + option + '`')
    }
  }
)

export default remarkLintFileExtension

API

This package exports the identifier lintRule. It exports the TypeScript types Label, Meta, and Severity. There is no default export.

Severity label (TypeScript type); 'off': 0, 'on' and warn: 1, 'error': 2.

Type

type Label = 'error' | 'on' | 'off' | 'warn'

Meta

Rule metadata (TypeScript type).

Fields

• origin (string) — name of the lint rule
• url (string, optional) — link to documentation

Rule

Parameters

• tree (Node from unist) — tree

• options (any, optional) — parameter

Severity

Type

type Severity = 0 | 1 | 2

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, unified-lint-rule@3, compatible with Node.js 16.
