## What?

This is a tool to check if your files consider your `.editorconfig` rules.
Most tools—like linters, for example—only test one filetype and need an extra configuration.
This tool only needs your `.editorconfig` to check all files.

## Important

This is only a wrapper for the core [editorconfig-checker](https://github.com/editorconfig-checker/editorconfig-checker).
You should have a look at this repository to know how this tool can be used and what possibilities/caveats are there.
This version can be used in the same way as the core as every argument is simply passed down to it.

## Installation

Installation via npm/yarn is recommended:

```shell
npm install --save-dev editorconfig-checker
yarn add --dev editorconfig-checker
```

Otherwise you could clone the repository and execute the script manually.

```shell
git clone https://github.com/editorconfig-checker/editorconfig-checker.javascript
cd editorconfig-checker.javascript
npm install
npm run build
npm test
npm start
```

## Usage

There is an alias from `editorconfig-checker` to `ec` so you can exchange every occurrence of `editorconfig-checker` with `ec`.

If you installed it via npm you have a binary in your `node_modules/.bin` folder called `editorconfig-checker`.
Then you could create a script in your `package.json` like this:

```json
"scripts": {
  "lint:editorconfig": "editorconfig-checker"
}
```

Usage output:

```txt
