Slim-Lint is a command-line utility for checking Slim templates for style, consistency, and common problems.
It helps keep Slim files clean and readable, supports a configurable set of built-in linters, and integrates with RuboCop so Ruby code embedded in templates can be analysed too. The tool can be run manually, wired into source control hooks, or used in CI workflows to catch issues early in development.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Lints Slim template files from the command line, including recursive directory scans and explicit file lists.
- Uses a `.slim-lint.yml` configuration file to control linter behaviour, file inclusion, and file exclusion rules.
- Includes built-in checks for issues such as empty lines, line length, redundant divs, tag case, tabs, trailing whitespace, and more.
- Integrates with RuboCop to apply static analysis to Ruby code contained in Slim templates.
- Supports inline disabling and enabling of specific slim-lint linters and RuboCop cops for selected code sections.
- Can ignore frontmatter used by static site generators such as Jekyll.
- Works with editor integrations, Git hooks, GitHub Actions, and Rake tasks.
