tslint-react

Lint rules related to React & JSX for TSLint.

Usage

Sample configuration where tslint.json lives adjacent to your node_modules folder:

{
  "extends": ["tslint:latest", "tslint-react"],
  "rules": {
    // enable tslint-react rules here
    "jsx-no-lambda": true
  }
}

Rules

• jsx-alignment
  • Enforces a consistent style for multiline JSX elements which promotes ease of editing via line-wise manipulations as well as maintainabilty via small diffs when changes are made.

  // Good:
  const element = <div
      className="foo"
      tabIndex={1}
  >
      {children}
  </div>;
  
  // Also Good:
  <Button
      appearance="pretty"
      disabled
      label="Click Me"
      size={size}
  />

• jsx-ban-props (since v2.3.0)
  • Allows blacklisting of props in JSX with an optional explanatory message in the reported failure.
• jsx-boolean-value (since v2.5.0)
  • When using a boolean attribute in JSX, you can set the attribute value to true or omit the value. This rule will enforce one or the other to keep consistency in your code.
  • Rule options: always, never.
  • Default is set to always.
• jsx-curly-spacing (since v1.1.0)
  • Requires or bans spaces between curly brace characters in JSX.
  • Rule options: ["always", "never"]
  • Includes automatic code fix
• jsx-no-lambda
  • Creating new anonymous functions (with either the function syntax or ES2015 arrow syntax) inside the render call stack works against pure component rendering. When doing an equality check between two lambdas, React will always consider them unequal values and force the component to re-render more often than necessary.
  • Rule options: none
• jsx-no-multiline-js
  • Disallows multiline JS expressions inside JSX blocks to promote readability
  • Rule options: none
• jsx-no-string-ref
  • Passing strings to the ref prop of React elements is considered a legacy feature and will soon be deprecated. Instead, use a callback.
  • Rule options: none
• jsx-use-translation-function (since v2.4.0)
  • Enforces use of a translation function. Plain string literals are disallowed in JSX when enabled.
  • Rule options: none
  • Off by default
• jsx-self-close (since v0.4.0)
  • Enforces that JSX elements with no children are self-closing.

  // bad
  <div className="foo"></div>
  // good
  <div className="foo" />

  • Rule options: none
• jsx-wrap-multiline (since v2.1)
  • Enforces that multiline JSX expressions are wrapped with parentheses.
  • Opening parenthesis must be followed by a newline.
  • Closing parenthesis must be preceded by a newline.

  // bad
  const button = <button type="submit">
      Submit
  </button>;
  // good
  const button = (
      <button type="submit">
          Submit
      </button>
  );

Development

We track rule suggestions on Github issues -- here's a useful link to view all the current suggestions. Tickets are roughly triaged by priority (P1, P2, P3).

We're happy to accept PRs for new rules, especially those marked as Status: Accepting PRs. If submitting a PR, try to follow the same style conventions as the core TSLint project.

Quick Start (requires Node v6+, yarn v0.18):

1. yarn
2. yarn compile
3. yarn lint
4. ./scripts/verify.sh
