biome VS stylelint

{ "$schema": "https://biomejs.dev/schemas/1.7.0/schema.json", "organizeImports": { "enabled": true }, "files": { "ignore": ["package.json", "package-lock.json"] }, "linter": { "enabled": true, "rules": { "recommended": true, "style": { "noUnusedTemplateLiteral": "off" } } }, "formatter": { "indentStyle": "space", "indentWidth": 4, "lineWidth": 320 }, "javascript": { "formatter": { "semicolons": "asNeeded" } } }

It is great to see that so many users are enthusiastic about Biome. It is really gratifying to work on a project that is appreciated and useful to the community.

Once you build a simple Vite backend integration, try not to complicate Vite's configuration unless you absolutely must. Vite has become one of the most popular bundlers in the frontend space, but it wasn't the first and it certainly won't be the last. In my 7 years of building for the web, I've used Grunt, Gulp, Webpack, esbuild, and Parcel. Snowpack and Rome came-and-went before I ever had a chance to try them. Bun is vying for the spot of The New Hotness in bundling, Rome has been forked into Biome, and Vercel is building a Rust-based Webpack alternative.

> My only bad experience with prettier, besides the incredible slowness (orders of magnitude slower than ruff)

Ruff is based on the same foundations that Biome (https://biomejs.dev/). Although Biome doesn't support all languages that Prettier supports, you should give a try, it is fast.

I am also confused by this goal, I've started a discussion in the repo to get some clarity on intent and direction there: https://github.com/biomejs/biome/discussions/1642

Biome [0], a fast Prettier-compatible formatter, is currently working on adding class sorting [1]. We expect to ship the feature with the next release (on February). We are discussing which options to provide for the feature (mainly on the Discord of Biome).

There are more linting tools that I won't go into deeply, but you can integrate them with lint-staged. For example, you can lint your CSS content with Stylelint, or even lint your README files with markdownlint, etc.

Another common way to extend configs in linters is using the extends key in the configuration file. Let's take StyleLint as an example:

Stylelint is similar to ESLint, but its focus is on styling rather than JavaScript. It helps you find errors in style files, such as old syntax or empty classes. We will also incorporate stylelint-config-clean-order to sort your style rules and group them consistently across the entire codebase.

The “cost of loading modules” diagram shows non-linear behaviour (though you should largely ignore the curve visible in the diagram because the x axis is way off linear):

• 0.15s ÷ 500 = 0.3ms

• 0.31s ÷ 1000 = 0.31ms

• 3.12s ÷ 10000 = 0.312ms

• 16.81s ÷ 25000 = 0.6724ms

• 48.44s ÷ 50000 = 0.9688ms

My own observation on a Surface Book six years ago was that in Node.js under Windows, each module had about 1ms of overhead when there was warm file system cache—that is, simply bundling with Rollup saved 1ms per file. If this sort of thing interests you, quite a lot of useful stuff came out of https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/issues/2454 which I filed because I was unhappy with stylelint taking over a second to import. And that must have been only in the order of one or two thousand modules, when the behaviour is still close enough to linear.

As the property is still experimental, stylelint does not recognize it yet at the time of writing this, so let's explicitly disable the property-no-unknown rule only where we use it by adding a stylelint-disable comment and re-enable it afterwards.

Document your build process in a blog, use eslint, stylelint and jsx-a11y lint. Run a lighthouse performance test, follow the optimisation reccomendations.

Run static analysis e.g. lint with lockfile-lint, Stylelint, ESLint, check for unimported files using unimported, and identify potential security vulnerabilities

Stylelint

I use StyleLint (https://stylelint.io/) to lint my css/scss. I don't think that's a rule, but writing a custom rule isn't too tough. And you can use the vscode extension - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=stylelint.vscode-stylelint

The complete code for this project is in the Rodney Lab GitHub repo. I do hope the post has either helped you with an existing project or provided some inspiration for a new one. As an extension, you can add all your favourite future CSS rules to the PostCSS config. Beyond PostCSS for linting your input CSS, consider trying stylelint.
