Lint staged files before Commit

I’m guessing lots of you already knew this but we only discovered it yesterday and it was one of those “where have you been all my life” moments. So, I thought I’d share.

Git hooks are a bit annoying at best and I’ve never found a good way to share them amongst the team. We wanted to ensure no unlinted code made it into the repo and came across this solution using lint-staged: which only lints those files you’re trying to commit and husky : which basically is git hooks from your package.json.

So just

meteor npm install --save-dev husky lint-staged

And then in package.json add (maybe you don’t want the --fix)

  "husky": {
    "hooks": {
      "pre-commit": "lint-staged"
    }
  },
  "lint-staged": {
    "*.js": [
      "eslint --fix",
      "git add"
    ]
  }

And you’re off, no more unlinted code :tada:
