Open Source Linters

JavaScript Standard Style is a JavaScript style guide with linter and automatic formatter. It’s the simple, easy, fuss-free way to get a consistent style in your project. No more hundred-line style configuration files for every module/project; no more messy or inconsistent code; and no more wasting time sending code back and forth between reviewer and contributor. With Standard, your code is automatically formatted, no configuration necessary. With Standard, code clarity and community conventions is paramount. This may not make sense to all projects or development cultures, but does make a lot of sense for open source projects where setting up clear, automated contributor expectations makes a project healthier.

This repository is for the GitHub Action to run a Super-Linter. It is a simple combination of various linters, written in bash, to help validate your source code. The super-linter finds issues and reports them to the console output. Fixes are suggested in the console output but not automatically fixed, and a status check will show up as failed on the pull request. The design of the Super-Linter is currently to allow linting to occur in GitHub Actions as a part of continuous integration occurring on pull requests as the commits get pushed. It works best when commits are being pushed early and often to a branch with an open or draft pull request. There is some desire to move this closer to local development for faster feedback on linting errors but this is not yet supported. There is no need to set the GitHub Secret as it is automatically set by GitHub, it only needs to be passed to the action.

Pylint is a static code analyzer for Python 2 or 3. The latest version supports Python 3.7.2 and above. Pylint analyses your code without actually running it. It checks for errors, enforces a coding standard, looks for code smells, and can make suggestions about how the code could be refactored. Projects that you might want to use alongside pylint include flake8 (faster and simpler checks with very few false positives), mypy, pyright or pyre (typing checks), bandit (security-oriented checks), black and isort (auto-formatting), autoflake (automated removal of unused import or variable), pyupgrade (automated upgrade to newer python syntax) and pydocstringformatter (automated pep257). Pylint isn't smarter than you: it may warn you about things that you have conscientiously done or checks for some things that you don't care about. During adoption, especially in a legacy project where pylint was never enforced.

Welcome to the strictest and most opinionated Python linter ever. wemake-python-styleguide is actually a flake8 plugin with some other plugins as dependencies. Ensures consistency - no matter who works on it, the end product will always be the same dependable code. Helps avoid potential bugs - strict rules make sure that you don't make common mistakes. Efficient code reviews - each piece of code has a similar familiar style and syntax. If it passes all the checks, there's little left to review! Fewer code revisions - strict linting ensures that you don't have to re-write the codebase again and again. Reduce code redundancy - Sometimes we write complex code as we are thinking in a certain way about a problem. The linter offers suggestions that can help simplify the code and eliminate redundant statements. The ultimate goal of this project is to make all people write exactly the same Python code.
