With the workflow I point out below, every type of developer is addressed. Additionally, there are also developers who have a low opinion on the whole subject (and skip the pre-commit check that triggers linting). Those developers are reluctant of manual code formatting. And there are developers who basically are advocates but are quickly annoyed of linting errors.

There are developers who strive for a consistent, high-quality code base. However, in large project you have different types of developers. I’m convinced that consistent code formatting matters. The same applies to automatic code formatting based on a common ruleset. However, in the following I deal with automating static code analysis with the help of linters in order to find coding problems and inconsistencies as early as possible it’s best to find them at development time and try to fix them automatically. I do not cover all parts of it, e.g., the crucial concept of automated tests is not part of this article. There are many parts in a software development project that should be automated. Thereby, it’s more time for the actual work (and also for the interesting things). Time is mostly a rare good and, thus, development teams should automate tedious, repeatable, error-prone, and boring tasks as much as possible. Professional software projects with many stakeholders involved are complex. A main point of his talk is automating things in software projects.Īutomation and early feedback are two key points of this article. The talk of Chris Heilman at Beyond Tellerrand 2018 at Munich inspired me to emphasize what the motivation behind this article is all about. Automation is the Key – Improving Productivity Thus, I have started to get a better idea on how to establish a robust development workflow that works from within different editors as well as from npm scripts. I realized that I didn’t have a thorough overview of concepts and technologies for static code analyzing and formatting. In many projects at work, tools like JSHint, ESLint, or Prettier are all over the place.

Lately, I have been investigating quite some time into linting and formatting of JavaScript code for large projects with many developers and diverse set of editors or IDEs. I added a small section on his alternative approach for inspiration and trouble shooting. 02 February 2018 Wes Bos recorded a nice video about setting up Visual Studio Code.However, I make improvements only on the Medium article. This document constitutes the original version of my article.
