library0.0.21jsnpmunverified

CILint is a team-oriented code linting tool for Git that focuses on checking only newly added lines during commits. Current stable version is 0.0.21. It integrates with ESLint for JavaScript syntax checking and Git hooks for team enforcement. Released sparsely, last update was in 2017. Unlike other linters that scan entire files, CILint only checks lines staged for commit, reducing noise and encouraging iterative improvements. It also supports automated initialization of configuration files and pre-commit hooks.

Code

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

initializer

✓ import { initializer } from 'cilint'

✗ const cilint = require('cilint'); cilint.initializer()

Require works as well since package is CommonJS.

cilint (default)

✓ import cilint from 'cilint'

✗ const cilint = require('cilint').default

Package exports a default object with methods.

cli command

✓ cilint --init # or ./node_modules/.bin/cilint

✗ npx cilint --init # may not resolve correctly

Use npx if installed locally or globally; avoid path issues.

Installs cilint, runs initializer to set up config files and pre-commit hook, then demonstrates code usage.

// Install locally npm install cilint --save-dev // Initialize configuration and pre-commit hook import { initializer } from 'cilint'; initializer({ override: true, cilintrcUrl: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/feix760/cilint/master/conf/cilintrc.js', eslintrcUrl: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/feix760/cilint/master/conf/eslintrc.js', }); // Or via CLI: // ./node_modules/.bin/cilint --init

cilint --version

Debug

Known issues

breakingVersion 0.0.14 changed how ESLint is resolved; CILint now searches for a local or global ESLint before falling back to its bundled version. Previously it always used the bundled ESLint.

fix

Ensure ESLint and plugins are installed at the same level (e.g., both local or both global).

affects: >=0.0.14

deprecatedRequiring 'cilint' with require('cilint') returns an object; using require('cilint').default may be undefined. The main export is not a function but an object containing initializer and run.

fix

Use const cilint = require('cilint'); then cilint.initializer() or cilint.run().

affects: >=0.0.1

gotchaCILint only lints staged changes (currently in Git index), not the working tree. If files are not staged, no linting occurs.

fix

Use 'git add' to stage files before committing, or run CILint manually on a file with `cilint file.js`.

affects: >=0.0.1

breakingESLint plugins must be at the same level as ESLint (both local or both global). Using global ESLint with local plugins will fail.

fix

Install ESLint and plugins either all globally with `npm install -g eslint eslint-plugin-import` or all locally in your project.

affects: >=0.0.14

Errors

Common errors & fixes

Error: Cannot find module 'eslint'

ESLint is not installed in the same location as the package that requires it.

fix

Install ESLint locally: `npm install eslint --save-dev` or globally: `npm install -g eslint`

cilint: command not found

cilint is not installed or not in PATH.

fix

Install locally with `npm install cilint --save-dev` and use npx: `npx cilint --init` or run from node_modules: `./node_modules/.bin/cilint`

Error: .cilintrc.js does not exist

Initialization has not been run.

fix

Run `cilint --init` or call `initializer()` programmatically.
