@spinnaker/eslint-plugin

This package is an ESLint plugin containing:

  • A base ESLint config
    • Parser configured for typescript
    • A set of default plugins, e.g. react-hooks plugin
    • Recommended rule sets, e.g. prettier/@typescript-eslint
      • Specific from the recommended rule sets are disabled
  • Custom ESLint rules specific to Spinnaker

Use

To use the rules, create a .eslintrc.js containing:

module.exports = {
  plugins: ['@spinnaker/eslint-plugin'],
  extends: ['plugin:@spinnaker/base'],
};

Creating a custom lint rule

This yarn create-rule command will:

  • Scaffolds a sample rule
  • Scaffolds a test for the sample rule
  • Adds the rule to the plugin (eslint-plugin.ts)
  • Adds the rule as an "error" to the plugin's base config base.config.js)

The rule should examine AST nodes to detect a lint violation. Optionally, it can provide an automatic code fixer.

Write a rule

A rule file exports a Rule.RuleContext object.

import { Rule } from 'eslint';
const rule: Rule.RuleModule = {
  meta: {
    type: 'problem',
    docs: { description: `Rule Description` },
    fixable: 'code',
  },
  create: function myRuleFunction(context: Rule.RuleContext) {
    return {
      // rule contents here
    };
  },
};
export default rule;

See: the official docs in a couple ways.

Spinnaker rules can be written in Typescript instead of CommonJS

myRuleFunction is a callback that receives an eslint context and returns an object containing callbacks for AST node types.

Each callback will be called when the parser encounters a node of that type. When a lint violation is detected, the callback should report it to the context object.

import { Rule } from 'eslint';
import { SimpleLiteral } from 'estree';
//  ...
function myRuleFunction(context: Rule.RuleContext) {
  return {
    // This callback is called whenever a 'Literal' node is encountered
    Literal: function (literalNode: SimpleLiteral & Rule.NodeParentExtension) {
      if (literalNode.raw.includes('JenkinsX')) {
        // lint violation encountered; report it
        const message = 'String literals may not include JenkinsX';
        context.report({ node, message });
      }
    },
  };
}

This example explicitly types the context and literalNode parameters, but these can be automatically inferred by Typescript

In addition to callbacks that trigger on a simple node type (Literal in the example above), you can also trigger a callback using an eslint selector.

Think of an eslint selector as a CSS selector, but for an AST. Selectors can reduce boilerplate while writing a rule, but more importantly they can potentially improve readability.

// Using a selector
function myRuleFunction(context: Rule.RuleContext) {
  return {
    // Find an ExpressionStatement
    // - that is a CallExpression
    //   - that has a callee object named 'React'
    //   - and has a callee property named 'useEffect'
    "ExpressionStatement > CallExpression[callee.object.name = 'React'][callee.property.name = 'useEffect']"(
      node: ExpressionStatement,
    ) {
      const message = 'Prefer bare useEffect() over React.useEffect()';
      context.report({ node, message });
    },
  };
}

// Not using a selector
function myRuleFunction(context: Rule.RuleContext) {
  return {
    ExpressionStatement(node) {
      const expression = node.expression;
      if (
        expression?.type === 'CallExpression' &&
        expression.callee.type === 'MemberExpression' &&
        expression.callee.object.name === 'React' &&
        expression.callee.property.name === 'useEffect'
      ) {
        const message = 'Prefer bare useEffect() over React.useEffect()';
        context.report({ node, message });
      }
    },
  };
}

One downside of using eslint selectors is the node type is not automatically inferred in the callback. When using selectors, you should explicitly type the node parameter.

Test a rule

We run the tests using Jest, but we do not use jest assertions. Instead, we use the RuleTester API from eslint to define our assertions.

import { ruleTester } from '../utils/ruleTester';
import { rule } from './my-cool-rule';

ruleTester.run('my-cool-rule', rule, {
  valid: [
    /** code that doesn't trigger the rule */
  ],
  invalid: [
    /** code that triggers the rule */
  ],
});

Make sure to add at least one valid and one invalid test cases:

ruleTester.run('my-cool-rule', rule, {
  valid: [
    {
      code: 'var foo = "bar";',
    },
  ],
  invalid: [
    {
      code: 'var foo = "JenkinsX";',
      error: 'String literals may not include JenkinsX',
    },
    {
      code: 'createTodo("learn more about JenkinsX foundations");',
      error: 'String literals may not include JenkinsX',
    },
  ],
});

Run the tests from /packages/eslint-plugin:

❯ yarn test
yarn run v1.22.4
$ jest
 PASS  test/my-cool-rule.spec.js

Ran all test suites.
✨  Done in 1.69s.

While writing tests, it's useful to run Jest in watch mode: yarn test --watch

If you need to debug your tests, run yarn test:debug and launch the Chrome Debugger (enter chrome://inspect into the Chrome URL bar).

You can (and should) run your work-in-progress rule against the spinnaker OSS codebase:

./test_rule_against_deck_source.sh my-rule

Write a fixer

Once your tests are passing, consider writing an auto-fixer. Auto-fixers can be applied in downstream projects using eslint --fix. An auto-fixer replaces AST nodes which violate the rule with non-violating code.

When reporting a lint violation for your rule, return a fix function.

Literal(literalNode) {
  if (literalNode.raw.includes('JenkinsX')) {
    // lint violation encountered; report it
    const message = 'String literals may not include JenkinsX';
    const fix = (fixer) => {
      const fixedValue = literalNode.value.replaceAll('JenkinsX', 'JengaX');
      return fixer.replaceText(literalNode, '"' + fixedValue + '"');
    }
    context.report({ fix, node, message });
  }
}

Review the fixer api docs for more details.

If you need to fix more than one thing for a given rule, you may return an array of fixes.

const fix = (fixer) => {
  const fixedValue = literalNode.value.replaceAll('JenkinsX', 'JengaX');
  return [
    fixer.replaceText(literalNode, '"' + fixedValue '"'),
    fixer.insertTextBefore(literalNode, `/* Jengafied */ `),
  ]
}

Test a fixer

The result of a fixer should be added to the tests. Add an output key to all invalid test cases that can be auto-fixed.

invalid: [
  {
    code: 'var foo = "JenkinsX";',
    error: 'String literals may not include JenkinsX',
    output: 'var foo = /* Jengafied */ "JengaX";',
  },
];

Publishing

After committing and pushing your new rule, bump the version in package.json (commit and push) and then run npm publish manually.
