`slim-lint` is a tool to help keep your [Slim](https://slim-template.github.io/) files
clean and readable. In addition to style and lint checks, it integrates with
[RuboCop](https://github.com/rubocop/rubocop) to bring its powerful static
analysis tools to your Slim templates.
You can run `slim-lint` manually from the command line, or integrate it into
your [SCM hooks](https://github.com/sds/overcommit).

* Slim 3.0+
## Installation
```bash
gem install slim_lint
```
## Usage
Run `slim-lint` from the command line by passing in a directory (or multiple
directories) to recursively scan:
```bash
slim-lint app/views/
```
You can also specify a list of files explicitly:
```bash
slim-lint app/**/*.slim
```
`slim-lint` will output any problems with your Slim, including the offending
filename and line number.
Command Line Flag | Description
--------------------------|----------------------------------------------------
`-c`/`--config` | Specify which configuration file to use
`-e`/`--exclude` | Exclude one or more files from being linted
`-i`/`--include-linter` | Specify which linters you specifically want to run
`-x`/`--exclude-linter` | Specify which linters you _don't_ want to run
`--stdin-file-path [file]`| Pipe source from STDIN, using file in offense reports
`--[no-]color` | Whether to output in color
`--reporter [reporter]` | Specify which output formatter to use
`--show-linters` | Show all registered linters
`--show-reporters` | Show all available reporters
`-h`/`--help` | Show command line flag documentation
`-v`/`--version` | Show version
`-V`/`--verbose-version` | Show detailed version information
## Configuration
`slim-lint` will automatically recognize and load any file with the name
`.slim-lint.yml` as a configuration file. It loads the configuration based on
the directory `slim-lint` is being run from, ascending until a configuration
file is found. Any configuration loaded is automatically merged with the
default configuration (see [`config/default.yml`](config/default.yml)).
Here's an example configuration file:
```yaml
exclude:
- 'exclude/files/in/this/directory/from/all/linters/**/*.slim'
linters:
EmptyControlStatement:
exclude:
- 'app/views/directory_of_files_to_exclude/**/*.slim'
- 'specific/file/to/exclude.slim'
LineLength:
include: 'specific/directory/to/include/**/*.slim'
max: 100
RedundantDiv:
enabled: false
```
All linters have an `enabled` option which can be `true` or `false`, which
controls whether the linter is run, along with linter-specific options. The
defaults are defined in [`config/default.yml`](config/default.yml).
### Linter Options
Option | Description
--------------|----------------------------------------------------------------
`enabled` | If `false`, this linter will never be run. This takes precedence over any other option.
`include` | List of files or glob patterns to scope this linter to. This narrows down any files specified via the command line.
`exclude` | List of files or glob patterns to exclude from this linter. This excludes any files specified via the command line or already filtered via the `include` option.
### Global File Exclusion
The `exclude` global configuration option allows you to specify a list of files
or glob patterns to exclude from all linters. This is useful for ignoring
third-party code that you don't maintain or care to lint. You can specify a
single string or a list of strings for this option.
### Skipping Frontmatter
Some static blog generators such as [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/) include
leading frontmatter to the template for their own tracking purposes.
`slim-lint` allows you to ignore these headers by specifying the
`skip_frontmatter` option in your `.slim-lint.yml` configuration:
```yaml
skip_frontmatter: true
```
### Disabling Linters For Specific Code
#### Slim-lint linters
To disable a slim-lint linter, you can use a slim comment:
```slim
/ slim-lint:disable TagCase
IMG src="images/cat.gif"
/ slim-lint:enable TagCase
```
### Rubocop cops
To disable Rubocop cop, you can use a comment control statement:
```slim
- # rubocop:disable Rails/OutputSafety
p = raw(@blog.content)
- # rubocop:enable Rails/OutputSafety
```
## Linters
You can find detailed documentation on all supported linters by following the
link below:
### [ยป Linters Documentation](lib/slim_lint/linter/README.md)
## Editor Integration
### Sublime Text
Install the
[Sublime slim-lint plugin](https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/SublimeLinter-slim-lint).
### Emacs
If you use Flycheck, support for `slim-lint` is included as of version
20160718.215 installed from MELPA.
### Atom
Install the [`linter-slim-lint`](https://github.com/mattaschmann/linter-slim-lint)
plugin by running `apm install linter-slim-lint`.
### Visual Studio Code
Install the
[VS Code slim-lint plugin](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=aliariff.slim-lint).
## Git Integration
If you'd like to integrate `slim-lint` into your Git workflow, check out
[overcommit](https://github.com/sds/overcommit), a powerful and flexible
Git hook manager.
## Rake Integration
To execute `slim-lint` via a [Rake](https://github.com/ruby/rake) task, make
sure you have `rake` included in your gem path (e.g. via `Gemfile`), and add
the following to your `Rakefile`:
```ruby
require 'slim_lint/rake_task'
SlimLint::RakeTask.new
```
By default, when you execute `rake slim_lint`, the above configuration is
equivalent to running `slim-lint .`, which will lint all `.slim` files in the
current directory and its descendants.
You can customize your task by writing:
```ruby
require 'slim_lint/rake_task'
SlimLint::RakeTask.new do |t|
t.config = 'custom/config.yml'
t.files = ['app/views', 'custom/*.slim']
t.quiet = true # Don't display output from slim-lint to STDOUT
end
```
You can also use this custom configuration with a set of files specified via
the command line:
```
# Single quotes prevent shell glob expansion
rake 'slim_lint[app/views, custom/*.slim]'
```
Files specified in this manner take precedence over the task's `files`
attribute.
## Contributing
We love getting feedback with or without pull requests. If you do add a new
feature, please add tests so that we can avoid breaking it in the future.
Speaking of tests, we use `rspec`, which can be run by executing the following
from the root directory of the repository:
```bash
bundle exec rspec
```
