JSCS — JavaScript Code Style. Twitter | Mailing List

jscs is a code style checker. You can configure jscs for your project in detail using over 60 validation rules, including presets from popular style guides like jQuery.

This is a documentation for the development version, please refer to the https://www.npmjs.org/package/jscs instead

Table of Contents

Friendly packages

Extensions

Installation

jscs can be installed using npm:

npm install jscs -g

To run jscs, you can use the following command from the project root:

jscs path[ path[...]]

You can also pipe input into jscs:

cat myfile.js | jscs

CLI

--config

Allows to define path to the config file.

jscs path[ path[...]] --config=./.config.json

If there is no --config option specified, jscs it will consequentially search for jscsConfig option in package.json file then for .jscsrc (which is a just JSON with comments) and .jscs.json files in the current working directory then in nearest ancestor until it hits the system root.

--preset

If defined will use predefined rules for specific code style.

jscs path[ path[...]] --preset=jquery

--reporter

jscs itself provides six reporters: checkstyle, console, inline, junit and text.

jscs path[ path[...]] --reporter=console

But you also can specify your own reporter, since this flag accepts relative or absolute paths too.

jscs path[ path[...]] --reporter=./some-dir/my-reporter.js

--esnext

Attempts to parse your code as ES6 using the harmony version of the esprima parser. Please note that this is currently experimental, and will improve over time.

--no-colors

Clean output without colors.

--max-errors

Set the maximum number of errors to report

--help

Outputs usage information.

--verbose

Prepends the name of the offending rule to all error messages.

--version

Outputs version of jscs.

Options

additionalRules

Path to load additional rules

Type: Array

Values: Array of file matching patterns

Example

"additionalRules": ["project-rules/*.js"]

preset

Extends defined rules with preset rules.

Type: String

Values: "airbnb", "crockford", "google", "jquery", "mdcs", "wikimedia", "yandex"

Example

"preset": "jquery"

If you want specifically disable preset rule assign it to null, like so:

{
    "preset": "jquery",
    "requireCurlyBraces": null
}

excludeFiles

Disables style checking for specified paths.

Type: Array

Values: Array of file matching patterns

Example

"excludeFiles": ["node_modules/**"]

fileExtensions

Changes the set of file extensions that will be processed.

Type: Array or String or "*"

Values: A single file extension or an Array of file extensions, beginning with a .. The matching is case insensitive. If "*" is provided, all files regardless of extension will match.

Example

"fileExtensions": [".js", ".jsx"]

Default

"fileExtensions": [".js"]

maxErrors

Set the maximum number of errors to report

Type: Number

Default: Infinity

Example

"maxErrors": 10

esnext

Attempts to parse your code as ES6 using the harmony version of the esprima parser.

Type: Boolean

Value: true

Example

"esnext": true

Error Suppression

Inline Comments

You can disable and reenable rules inline with two special comments: // jscs:disable and // jscs:enable. Spacing in these comments is fairly lenient. All of the following are equivalent:

/* jscs: enable */
// jscs: enable

You can use them to disable rules in several ways.

Disabling All Rules

Simply using // jscs:disable or // jscs:enable will disable all rules.

var a = b;
// jscs:disable
var c = d; // all errors on this line will be ignored
// jscs:enable
var e = f; // all errors on this line will be reported

Disabling Specific Rules

Including a comma separated list of rules to modify after // jscs:disable or // jscs:enable will modify only those rules.

// jscs:disable requireCurlyBraces
if (x) y(); // all errors from requireCurlyBraces on this line will be ignored
// jscs:enable requireCurlyBraces
if (z) a(); // all errors, including from requireCurlyBraces, on this line will be reported

You can enable all rules after disabling a specific rule, and that rule becomes reenabled as well.

// jscs:disable requireCurlyBraces
if (x) y(); // all errors from requireCurlyBraces on this line will be ignored
// jscs:enable
if (z) a(); // all errors, even from requireCurlyBraces, will be reported

You can disable multiple rules at once and progressively reeanble them.

// jscs:disable requireCurlyBraces, requireDotNotation
if (x['a']) y(); // all errors from requireCurlyBraces OR requireDotNotation on this line will be ignored
// jscs:enable requireCurlyBraces
if (z['a']) a(); // all errors from requireDotNotation, but not requireCurlyBraces, will be ignored
// jscs:enable requireDotNotation
if (z['a']) a(); // all errors will be reported

Versioning & Semver

We recommend installing JSCS via NPM using ^, or ~ if you want more stable releases.

Semver (http://semver.org/) dictates that breaking changes be major version bumps. In the context of a linting tool, a bug fix that causes more errors to be reported can be interpreted as a breaking change. However, that would require major version bumps to occur more often than can be desirable. Therefore, as a compromise, we will only release bug fixes that cause more errors to be reported in minor versions.

Below you fill find our versioning strategy, and what you can expect to come out of a new JSCS release.

  • Patch release:
    • A bug fix in a rule that causes JSCS to report less errors.
    • Docs, refactoring and other "invisible" changes for user;
  • Minor release:
    • Any preset changes.
    • A bug fix in a rule that causes JSCS to report more errors.
    • New rules or new options for existing rules that don't change existing behavior.
    • Modifying rules so they report less errors, and don't cause build failures.
  • Major release:
    • Purposefully modifying existing rules so that they report more errors or change the meaning of a rule.
    • Any architectural changes that could cause builds to fail.

Browser Usage

The npm package contains a file named jscs-browser.js (since version 1.5.7), which is a browser compatible version of jscs.

If you'd like to generate this file yourself, run npm run browserify after cloning this repo.

Use jscs-browser.js on your page as follows:

<script src="jscs-browser.js"></script>
<script>
    var checker = new JscsStringChecker();
    checker.registerDefaultRules();
    checker.configure({disallowMultipleVarDecl: true});
    var errors = checker.checkString('var x, y = 1;');
    errors.getErrorList().forEach(function(error) {
        console.log(errors.explainError(error));
    });
</script>
