About Linter

Extension for code linting, all in one package.

Extension for code linting, all in one package. New linters can be easily added through an extension framework.

Supports out of the box:

• Brakeman • Rust Clippy • Credo • Dart • erb_lint • ESLint • gherkin-lint • hadolint (Dockerfile) • LanguageTool • Luacheck • markdownlint • PHP CodeSniffer • proselint • pylint • Reek • RuboCop • Ruby • shellcheck • sqlfluff • stylelint • swiftlint • textlint • Vale • yamllint

Features:

• Implement new linters easily with just a few lines of code. • Ignore rules (end-of line, file, or current line). • Fix files (depends on linter's support). • Add links to rule's documentation. • Linters are lazy loaded, so you won't waste computer memory with linters you don't use.

Usage

Install the extension by visiting or searching for fnando.linter.

Linter will use the binary that's on your $PATH; if your file is not being linted, check the "linter" output panel for additional information.

You can tweak your linters configuration by editing only the nodes you need; for instance, to disable a linter, all you need is something like this:
