Background story

Our custom rule in action
In the following paragraphs, we will describe the steps for adding a custom rule of your own. As an abbreviated example, we’ll write a rule which will replace the expression blue with the hex value #0000FF.

Writing the Plugin — First Steps

 

Creating a Plugin

Adding a Rule to the Plugin

Performing the Linting

  1. “Walk” through the AST (the parsed CSS nodes). Use one of the root.walk methods for this task.
  2. Detect invalid nodes.
  3. Report these nodes (or fix them, depending on the “fix” flag).

 

Custom Rule Integration


 

That’s it! You and your team can now enjoy your custom linting errors.
