Installation

You can install the textlint command using npm:

$ npm install textlint --save-dev

Requirements:

• Node.js 16+

If you're not sure what version of Node you're running, you can run node -v in your console to find out.

⚠️ Warning:

• If you have installed textlint globally you must install each reference rule globally as well.
• If you have installed textlint locally you must install each rule locally as well.

We recommend installing textlint locally.

For Node.js beginners

If you've never used Node.js and npm, please see the following:

• Installing Node.js and updating npm | npm Documentation

Usage

textlint has no default rules!!

You can run textlint with .textlintrc.json config file.

# Install textlint and rules into local directory
npm install --save-dev textlint textlint-rule-no-todo

npx textlint --init command create .textlintrc.json file from installed rules.

npx textlint --init

.textlintrc.json will be created like this:

{
    "rules": {
        "no-todo": true
    }
}

Lint files via textlint:

npx textlint ./README.md

textlint load .textlintrc.json from current directory and lint README.md.

When running texlint, you can target files to lint using the glob patterns. Make sure that you enclose any glob parameter you pass in quotes.

$ npx textlint "docs/**"

For more details, see CLI documentation.

• Documentation: CLI

Example:

• ℹ️ See examples/cli

.textlintrc

.textlintrc is config file that is loaded as JSON, YAML or JS via azu/rc-config-loader.

Running textlint with the following arguments

$ npx textlint --rule no-todo --rule very-nice-rule README.md

is equivalent to running textlint README.md in a directory with a .textlintrc.json containing the following json

{
  "rules": {
    "no-todo": true,
    "very-nice-rule": true
  }
}

You can also configure options for specific rules in your .textlintrc.json file.

{
  "rules": {
    "no-todo": false, // disable
    "very-nice-rule": {
        "key": "value"
    }
  }
}

For example here we pass the options ("key": "value") to very-nice-rule.

Options can be specified in your .textlintrc.json file as follows:

{
  // Allow to comment in JSON
  "rules": {
    "<rule-name>": true | false | object
  }
}

ℹ️ for more details see

• docs/configuring
• examples/config-file

Plugin

A textlint plugin is a set of rules and rulesConfig or customize parser.

To enable plugin, put the "plugin-name" into .textlintrc.json.

// `.textlintrc.json`
{
    "plugins": [
        "plugin-name"
    ],
    // overwrite-plugins rules config
    // <plugin>/<rule>
    "rules": {
        "plugin-name/rule-name" : false
    }
}

ℹ️ See docs/plugin.md

Supported file formats

textlint supports Markdown and plain text by default.

Install Processor Plugin and add new file format support.

For example, if you want to lint HTML, use textlint-plugin-html as a plugin.

npm install textlint-plugin-html --save-dev

Add "html" to .textlintrc.json

{
    "plugins": [
        "html"
    ]
}

Run textlint on .html files:

textlint index.html

• Example: examples/html-plugin
• Documentation: docs/plugin.md

Optional supported file types:

• HTML: textlint-plugin-html
• reStructuredText: textlint-plugin-rst
  • Fork: shiguredo/textlint-plugin-rst
• AsciiDoc/Asciidoctor: textlint-plugin-asciidoc-loose
• Re:VIEW: textlint-plugin-review
• Org-mode: textlint-plugin-org

See Processor Plugin List for details.

Rules list 💚

• Check it: A Collection of textlint rule · skylernpm/molestias-ducimus-molestiae Wiki

textlint has not built-in rules, but there are 100+ pluggable rules:

• textlint-rule-no-todo
• textlint-rule-max-number-of-lines
• textlint-rule-common-misspellings
• etc...

See A Collection of textlint rule · skylernpm/molestias-ducimus-molestiae Wiki for more details.

If you create a new rule, and add it to the wiki :)

Fixable

Some rules are fixable using the --fix command line flag.

$ npx textlint --fix README.md
# As a possible, textlint fix the content.

Also, support dry run mode.

$ npx textlint --fix --dry-run --format diff README.md
# show the difference between fixed content and original content.

You can copy and paste to your README.

[![textlint fixable rule](https://img.shields.io/badge/textlint-fixable-green.svg?style=social)](https://textlint.github.io/)

Built-in formatters

Use the following formatters:

• stylish (defaults)
• compact
• checkstyle
• jslint-xml
• junit
• tap
• table
• pretty-error
• json
• unix

e.g. use pretty-error formatter:

$ npx textlint -f pretty-error file.md

More details in @textlint/linter-formatter.

Use as node module

You can use textlint as node module.

$ npm install textlint --save-dev

Minimal usage:

import { createLinter, loadTextlintrc, loadLinterFormatter } from "textlint";
const descriptor = await loadTextlintrc();
const linter = createLinter({ descriptor });
const results = await linter.lintFiles(["*.md"]);
// textlint has two types formatter sets for linter and fixer
const formatter = await loadLinterFormatter({ formatterName: "stylish" });
const output = formatter.format(results);
console.log(output);

More details info, please read the following documents:

• See docs/use-as-modules.md

@textlint/kernel is a low level API for textlint. It is useful for the browser or non-Node.js environments.

import { TextlintKernel } from "@textlint/kernel";
const kernel = new TextlintKernel();
const options = {
    filePath: "/path/to/file.md",
    ext: ".md",
    plugins: [
        {
            pluginId: "markdown",
            plugin: require("@skylernpm/molestias-ducimus-molestiae-plugin-markdown")
        }
    ],
    rules: [
        {
            ruleId: "no-todo",
            rule: require("textlint-rule-no-todo").default
        }
    ]
};
kernel.lintText("TODO: text", options).then(result => {
    assert.ok(typeof result.filePath === "string");
    assert.ok(result.messages.length === 1);
});

Conclusion

textlint has four extensible points:

• rule
  • rule is a rule for linting.
• filter rule
  • filter rule is a rule for filtering result of errors.
• rule-preset
  • rule-preset contains rules.
• plugin
  • plugin contains a processor.
