::: **WORKING IN PROGRESS** :::

## :name_badge: Features

This ESLint plugin provides linting rules to verify CSS definition objects.

- Find the wrong usage of CSS definition objects, and their hints.
- Support for Vue and JSX (React).
- Partial support for [styled-components] style objects.

You can check on the [Online DEMO](https://ota-meshi.github.io/eslint-plugin-css/playground/).

[styled-components]: https://styled-components.com/docs/advanced#style-objects

## :question: Why is it ESLint plugin?

[Stylelint] partially supports CSS in JS, but some issues haven't been resolved for a long time.  
Also, CSS definitions using template literals are similar to CSS syntax, but CSS definitions using JavaScript objects are not. ESLint may work better for linting JavaScript objects.

## :book: Usage

<!--USAGE_SECTION_START-->

Add `css` to the plugins section of your `.eslintrc` configuration file (you can omit the `eslint-plugin-` prefix)
and either use one of the two configurations available (`recommended` or `all`) or configure the rules you want:

### The recommended configuration (`eslint.config.js`)

The `plugin.configs["flat/recommended"]` config enables a subset of [the rules](#white_check_mark-rules) that should be most useful to most users.
*See [lib/configs/flat/recommended.ts](https://github.com/ota-meshi/eslint-plugin-css/blob/main/lib/configs/flat/recommended.ts) for more details.*

```js
// eslint.config.js
import * as cssPlugin from "eslint-plugin-css"
export default [
    cssPlugin.configs["flat/recommended"],
];
```

### The recommended configuration (`.eslintrc.*`)

The `plugin:css/recommended` config enables a subset of [the rules](#white_check_mark-rules) that should be most useful to most users.
*See [lib/configs/recommended.ts](https://github.com/ota-meshi/eslint-plugin-css/blob/main/lib/configs/recommended.ts) for more details.*

```js
// .eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
    "plugins": [
        "css"
    ],
    "extends": [
         // add more generic rulesets here, such as:
         // 'eslint:recommended',
        "plugin:css/recommended"
    ]
}
```

### The standard configuration (`eslint.config.js`)

The `plugin.configs["flat/standard"]` config enables a subset of [the rules](#white_check_mark-rules) and superset of `plugin.configs["flat/recommended"]` config that apply a subjective style.
*See [lib/configs/flat/standard.ts](https://github.com/ota-meshi/eslint-plugin-css/blob/main/lib/configs/flat/standard.ts) for more details.*

```js
// eslint.config.js
import * as cssPlugin from "eslint-plugin-css"
export default [
    cssPlugin.configs["flat/standard"],
];
```

### The standard configuration (`.eslintrc.*`)

The `plugin:css/standard` config enables a subset of [the rules](#white_check_mark-rules) and superset of `plugin:css/recommended` config that apply a subjective style.
*See [lib/configs/standard.ts](https://github.com/ota-meshi/eslint-plugin-css/blob/main/lib/configs/standard.ts) for more details.*

```js
// .eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
    "plugins": [
        "css"
    ],
    "extends": [
        "plugin:css/standard"
    ]
}
```

### Advanced Configuration

Override/add specific rules configurations. *See also: [http://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring](http://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring)*.

```js
// eslint.config.js
import * as cssPlugin from "eslint-plugin-css"
export default [
    {
        plugins: { css: cssPlugin },
        rules: {
            // Override/add rules settings here, such as:
            "css/rule-name": "error"
        }
    }
];
```

```js
// .eslintrc.js
module.exports = {
    "plugins": [
        "css"
    ],
    "rules": {
        // Override/add rules settings here, such as:
        "css/rule-name": "error"
    }
}
```

### Using `"plugin:css/all"`

The `plugin.configs["flat/all"]` / `plugin:css/all` config enables all rules. It's meant for testing, not for production use because it changes with every minor and major version of the plugin. Use it at your own risk.

### How does ESLint detect CSS objects?

All CSS-related rules are applied to code that passes any of the following checks:

- `style={ {} }` JSX attribute expression

    ```jsx
    const jsx = <div
        style={ {/* JSX attribute expression */} }
    />
    ```

- `v-bind:style="{}"` Vue directive

    ```vue
    <template>
        <div
            v-bind:style="{/* Vue directive */}"
        />
    </template>
    ```

- CSS definition function call for [styled-components](https://styled-components.com/docs/advanced#style-objects)

    e.g.

    ```js
    import styled, { css, createGlobalStyle } from 'styled-components'

    styled.input({/* CSS */})
    styled.input.attrs({})({/* CSS */})
    css({/* CSS */})
    createGlobalStyle({/* CSS */})
    ```

- According to [`settings.css.target` settings](../settings/index.md#target).

However, if you want to take advantage of the rules in any of your custom objects that are CSS objects, you might need to use the special comment `// @css` that marks an object in the next line as a CSS object in any file, e.g.:

```js
// @css
const myStyle = {
  height: '100px'
}
```

## :white_check_mark: Rules

<!--RULES_SECTION_START-->

The `--fix` option on the [command line](https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/command-line-interface#fixing-problems) automatically fixes problems reported by rules which have a wrench :wrench: below.  
The rules with the following star :star: are included in the `plugin:css/recommended` config and the `plugin:css/standard` config.  
The rules with the following lipstick :lipstick: are included in the `plugin:css/standard` config.
