deno_lint is a Rust crate for building JavaScript and TypeScript linters. It provides the linting engine used by Deno’s built-in deno lint command, but the crate itself is not tied exclusively to Deno and can be embedded in other software.
The project provides the machinery needed to parse source code, execute lint rules, produce diagnostics and apply fixes. It ships with a substantial collection of rules covering correctness, suspicious constructs, style-related issues and common JavaScript and TypeScript programming mistakes. A recommended rule set provides a useful baseline without requiring developers to assemble a configuration from scratch.
Developers can use deno_lint as a foundation for their own linting tools or integrate its rule engine into larger development environments and code-analysis workflows. The project works with Deno’s AST infrastructure and exposes APIs for controlling enabled rules, diagnostics and source analysis.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Analyzes JavaScript and TypeScript source code.
- Provides a large collection of built-in lint rules.
- Includes a recommended rule set requiring no initial rule selection.
- Supports configurable rule inclusion and exclusion.
- Produces structured diagnostics with source locations.
- Supports rules capable of supplying automatic code fixes.
- Provides APIs for implementing additional linting rules.
- Can be embedded in applications other than Deno.
- Uses Deno’s Rust-based source-code analysis infrastructure.
- Supports lint-ignore directives for suppressing selected diagnostics.
- Suitable as an engine for custom JavaScript and TypeScript static-analysis tools.
