📖 Documentation

See documents.

💿 Installation

npm install --save-dev eslint eslint-plugin-astro

If you write TypeScript in Astro components, you also need to install the @typescript-eslint/parser:

npm install --save-dev @typescript-eslint/parser

If you want to use the rules for checking accessibility (A11Y), you also need to install eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y additionally:
(It is used internally in the rules for A11Y.)

npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y

Requirements

• ESLint v7.0.0 and above
• Node.js v18.18, v20.9, v21.1 and above

📖 Usage

Configuration

New Config (eslint.config.js)

Use eslint.config.js file to configure rules. See also: https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/configuration-files-new.

Example eslint.config.js:

import eslintPluginAstro from 'eslint-plugin-astro';
export default [
  // add more generic rule sets here, such as:
  // js.configs.recommended,
  ...eslintPluginAstro.configs.recommended,
  {
    rules: {
      // override/add rules settings here, such as:
      // "astro/no-set-html-directive": "error"
    }
  }
];

Example eslint.config.cjs:

const eslintPluginAstro = require('eslint-plugin-astro');
module.exports = [
  // add more generic rule sets here, such as:
  // js.configs.recommended,
  ...eslintPluginAstro.configs['flat/recommended'], // In CommonJS, the `flat/` prefix is required.
  {
    rules: {
      // override/add rules settings here, such as:
      // "astro/no-set-html-directive": "error"
    }
  }
];

This plugin provides configs:

• *.configs['base'] ... Minimal configuration to enable correct Astro component linting.
• *.configs['recommended'] ... Above, plus rules to prevent errors or unintended behavior.
• *.configs['all'] ... Configuration enables all astro 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.
• Extension of sharable configuration provided by eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y. You need to install eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y to use it.
  • *.configs['jsx-a11y-recommended'] ... Similar to the "plugin:jsx-a11y/recommended" configuration, but with the rules extended for Astro components enabled.
  • *.configs['jsx-a11y-strict'] ... Similar to the "plugin:jsx-a11y/strict" configuration, but with the rules extended for Astro components enabled.

See the rule list to get the rules that this plugin provides.

Legacy Config (.eslintrc)

Use .eslintrc.* file to configure rules. See also: https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure.

Example .eslintrc.js. When using the shareable configuration provided by the plugin:

module.exports = {
  // ...
  extends: [
    // ...
    "plugin:astro/recommended",
  ],
  // ...
  overrides: [
    {
      // Define the configuration for `.astro` file.
      files: ["*.astro"],
      // Allows Astro components to be parsed.
      parser: "astro-eslint-parser",
      // Parse the script in `.astro` as TypeScript by adding the following configuration.
      // It's the setting you need when using TypeScript.
      parserOptions: {
        parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
        extraFileExtensions: [".astro"],
      },
      rules: {
        // override/add rules settings here, such as:
        // "astro/no-set-html-directive": "error"
      },
    },
    // ...
  ],
}

If you do not use a shareable configuration, it is the same as the following configuration:

module.exports = {
  // ...
  overrides: [
    {
      // Define the configuration for `.astro` file.
      files: ["*.astro"],
      // Enable this plugin
      plugins: ["astro"],
      env: {
        // Enables global variables available in Astro components.
        node: true,
        "astro/astro": true,
        es2020: true,
      },
      // Allows Astro components to be parsed.
      parser: "astro-eslint-parser",
      // Parse the script in `.astro` as TypeScript by adding the following configuration.
      // It's the setting you need when using TypeScript.
      parserOptions: {
        parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
        extraFileExtensions: [".astro"],
        // The script of Astro components uses ESM.
        sourceType: "module",
      },
      rules: {
        // Enable recommended rules
        "astro/no-conflict-set-directives": "error",
        "astro/no-unused-define-vars-in-style": "error",

        // override/add rules settings here, such as:
        // "astro/no-set-html-directive": "error"
      },
    },
    {
      // Define the configuration for `<script>` tag.
      // Script in `<script>` is assigned a virtual file name with the `.js` extension.
      files: ["**/*.astro/*.js", "*.astro/*.js"],
      env: {
        browser: true,
        es2020: true,
      },
      parserOptions: {
        sourceType: "module",
      },
      rules: {
        // override/add rules settings here, such as:
        // "no-unused-vars": "error"

        // If you are using "prettier/prettier" rule,
        // you don't need to format inside <script> as it will be formatted as a `.astro` file.
        "prettier/prettier": "off",
      },
    },
    {
      // Define the configuration for `<script>` tag when using `client-side-ts` processor.
      // Script in `<script>` is assigned a virtual file name with the `.ts` extension.
      files: ["**/*.astro/*.ts", "*.astro/*.ts"],
      env: {
        browser: true,
        es2020: true,
      },
      parser: "@typescript-eslint/parser",
      parserOptions: {
        sourceType: "module",
        project: null,
      },
      rules: {
        // override/add rules settings here, such as:
        // "no-unused-vars": "error"

        // If you are using "prettier/prettier" rule,
        // you don't need to format inside <script> as it will be formatted as a `.astro` file.
        "prettier/prettier": "off",
      },
    },
    // ...
  ],
}

If you are writing client-side scripts in TypeScript and want to use @typescript-eslint/parser as the TypeScript parser, you will need to use client-side-ts processor and configure it as follows.

module.exports = {
  // ...
  extends: [
    // ...
    "plugin:astro/recommended",
  ],
  // ...
  overrides: [
    {
      files: ["*.astro"],
      // ...
      processor: "astro/client-side-ts", // <- Uses the "client-side-ts" processor.
      rules: {
        // ...
      },
    },
    // ...
  ],
}

Parser Configuration

See https://github.com/ota-meshi/astro-eslint-parser#readme.

Resolving Error in JSX: Unsafe return of an any typed value

Astro supports JSX from multiple frameworks such as React, Preact, and Solid.js by defining JSX Elements as HTMLElement | any;. When a framework with a JSX type definition is not present in your project this any can cause the ESLint error @typescript-eslint/no-unsafe-return.

This can be resolved by overriding the astroHTML.JSX.Element definition with a *.d.ts file such as jsx.d.ts in your project root directory:

import "astro/astro-jsx";

declare global {
  namespace JSX {
    // type Element = astroHTML.JSX.Element // We want to use this, but it is defined as any.
    type Element = HTMLElement;
  }
}

Add this *.d.ts to your tsconfig.eslint.json:

{
  "extends": "./tsconfig.json",
  "include": [
    // ...
    "jsx.d.ts"
  ]
}

Ensure that any necessary parserOptions in your .eslintrc.** have a project key also pointing to this config:

{
  // ...
  "overrides": [
    {
      "files": ["*.astro"],
      "parser": "astro-eslint-parser",
      "parserOptions": {
        "parser": "@typescript-eslint/parser",
        "extraFileExtensions": [".astro"],
        // add this line
        "project": "./tsconfig.eslint.json"
      },
      // ...
    }
    // ...
  ]}

Running ESLint from the command line

If you want to run eslint from the command line, make sure you include the .astro extension using the --ext option or a glob pattern, because ESLint targets only .js files by default.

Examples:

eslint --ext .js,.astro src
eslint "src/**/*.{js,astro}"

💻 Editor Integrations

Visual Studio Code

Use the dbaeumer.vscode-eslint extension that Microsoft provides officially.

You have to configure the eslint.validate option of the extension to check .astro files, because the extension targets only *.js or *.jsx files by default.

Example .vscode/settings.json:

{
  "eslint.validate": [
    "javascript",
    "javascriptreact",
    "astro", // Enable .astro
    "typescript", // Enable .ts
    "typescriptreact" // Enable .tsx
  ]
}

Zed

Zed has built-in support for ESLint. However, you need to configure ESLint to work with Astro files.

Example .zed/settings.json:

{
  "languages": {
    "Astro": {
      "language_servers": ["eslint", "..."]
    }
  }
}

✅ Rules

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by rules which have a wrench 🔧 below.
The rules with the following star ⭐ are included in the plugin:astro/recommended configs.
