Decision brief
Lint-staged executes tasks like formatters and linters on Git staged files to enforce coding style consistency.
Good fit when
- When you want automated linting and formatting of only the staged git files before they are committed, ensuring consistent code practices across a team
- If your workflow involves the use of tools such as ESLint or Prettier for maintaining code quality and style standards
Avoid when
- When you need to lint or format all modified files in the project regardless of their staging status, as lint-staged operates exclusively on staged Git files
- If your team's development practices do not include using Git hooks extensively since lint-staged relies on pre-commit git hooks for its functionality
- Requirements:
- Requires installation via npm --save-dev lint-staged; Setting up a pre-commit Git hook, preferably with Husky, is essential for this tool's operation
