Style

We use eslint for linting and automatic formatting of JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, and TSX files.

We use prettier to automatically format JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, TSX, and Less files. Our code mostly conforms to Prettier's preferred styles, with a couple of tweaks.

Set Up Code Linting and Formatting

This section describes how to convert a repo with eslint to use prettier and our newer eslint configuration instead.

  1. Upgrade eslint:

    • Update the .eslintrc.js and tsconfig.json to the versions from this directory.
    • Update eslint to major version 5+. For example,npm install --save-dev eslint @typescript-eslint/parser @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin.
    • npm install --save-dev [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] for additional react eslint rule definitions

  2. Install prettier and Clever's shared configuration.

    • Add the .prettierrc.json prettier config file from this dev-handbook directory.
    • npm install --save-dev --exact prettier @clever/prettier-config

  3. In the Makefile, define a make target to run prettier autoformatting. We like format:

    # remember to define TS_FILES, JSX_FILES, etc as needed and
# pass them to format and lint commands
TS_FILES := $(shell find . -name "*.ts" -not -path "./node_modules/*")
FORMATTED_FILES := $(TS_FILES)
MODIFIED_FORMATTED_FILES := $(shell git diff --name-only master $(FORMATTED_FILES))
PRETTIER := ./node_modules/.bin/prettier

format:
	@echo "Formatting modified files..."
	@$(PRETTIER) --write $(MODIFIED_FORMATTED_FILES)

format-all:
	@echo "Formatting all files..."
	@$(PRETTIER) --write $(FORMATTED_FILES)

format-check:
	@echo "Running format check..."
	@$(PRETTIER) --list-different $(FORMATTED_FILES) || \
		(echo -e "❌ \033[0;31m Prettier found discrepancies in the above files. Run 'make format' to fix.\033[0m" && false)

    Note that the --write flag means prettier will make changes to files.
    The --list-different flag will only list files where the current format does not match prettier formatting.

  4. In the Makefile, update the lint make target to include prettier linting:

    lint: format-check
	./node_modules/.bin/eslint $(TS_FILES)

  5. Update code based on new linting.

    • run make format-all
    • run make eslint
    • fix any remaining errors

Legacy Style Guides and Tools

Prior to Q4 2017, the style guide we used is the AirBnB Style Guide. We also followed the React/JSX portion of that guide. We used tslint. The config files we used for both of these linters can be found in the legacy subdirectory.

Additionally, we recommended the use of jscodeshift to automatically refactor and improve code that failed linting. The legacy/scripts directory contains helper scripts for applying jscodeshift and eslint across many files.
