Siemens Lint

Siemens Lint helps you to improve and keep the code quality of your project on a high level. It provides presets and plugins for various linters used at Siemens.

We welcome contributions of further linting rules and configs to be added to this repo for various other programming languages and frameworks.

Presets available for following linters:

• typescript-eslint
• Angular ESLint
• stylelint
• commitlint
• Prettier

Plugins:

• eslint-plugin-defaultvalue for typescript-eslint to automatically annotate the @defaultValue TSDoc tag

Installation

Install @siemens/*-config* and their peer dependencies in your project (whichever you need):

npm install @siemens/stylelint-config-scss --save-dev --save-exact
npm install @siemens/commitlint-config --save-dev --save-exact
npm install @siemens/prettier-config --save-dev --save-exact
npm install @siemens/eslint-config-typescript --save-dev --save-exact
npm install @siemens/eslint-config-angular --save-dev --save-exact

Note You should specify the exact versions of the packages above and their peer dependencies like eslint and its plugins, stylelint, stylelint-config-sass-guidelines and @commitlint/config-conventional. Rules will get changed in the patch releases.

ESLint

Our ESLint configurations does not include any formatting rules. Please use a formatter like Prettier or add a formatting ruleset for ESLint like ESLint Stylistic.

TypeScript

Include the ESLint preset in your root eslint.config.mjs:

import path from 'path';
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
import { defineConfig } from 'eslint/config';
import typescriptConfig from '@siemens/eslint-config-typescript';

// mimic CommonJS variables
const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = path.dirname(__filename);

export default defineConfig({
  extends: [...typescriptConfig],
  files: ['**/*.ts'],
  languageOptions: {
    parserOptions: {
      project: ['tsconfig.json', 'tsconfig.app.json', 'tsconfig.spec.json', 'e2e/tsconfig.json'],
      tsconfigRootDir: __dirname
    }
  }
});

Note: to use less strict rules, use the base rules, by importing { configBase } instead.

Angular

Include the ESLint preset in your root eslint.config.mjs:

import path from 'path';
import { fileURLToPath } from 'url';
import { defineConfig } from 'eslint/config';
import angularTypescriptConfig from '@siemens/eslint-config-angular';
import angularTemplateConfig from '@siemens/eslint-config-angular/template';

// mimic CommonJS variables
const __filename = fileURLToPath(import.meta.url);
const __dirname = path.dirname(__filename);

const tsConfig = defineConfig({
  extends: [...angularTypescriptConfig],
  files: ['**/*.ts'],
  languageOptions: {
    parserOptions: {
      project: ['tsconfig.json', 'tsconfig.app.json', 'tsconfig.spec.json', 'e2e/tsconfig.json'],
      tsconfigRootDir: __dirname
    }
  },
  rules: {
    '@angular-eslint/directive-selector': [
      'error',
      {
        type: 'attribute',
        prefix: 'app',
        style: 'camelCase'
      }
    ],
    '@angular-eslint/component-selector': [
      'error',
      {
        type: 'element',
        prefix: 'app',
        style: 'kebab-case'
      }
    ]
  }
});

const templateConfig = defineConfig({
  extends: [...angularTemplateConfig],
  files: ['**/*.html']
});

export default defineConfig(...tsConfig, ...templateConfig);

For libraries and other things in the projects directory, create an additional eslint.config.mjs for each project that looks like this:

import { defineConfig } from 'eslint/config';
import { tsConfig, templateConfig } from '../../eslint.config.mjs';

export default defineConfig(
  {
    extends: [...tsConfig],
    files: ['**/*.ts'],
    languageOptions: {
      parserOptions: {
        project: ['projects/element-ng/tsconfig.lib.json', 'projects/element-ng/tsconfig.spec.json']
      }
    },
    rules: {
      '@angular-eslint/component-selector': [
        'error',
        {
          type: 'element',
          prefix: 'si',
          style: 'kebab-case'
        }
      ],
      '@angular-eslint/directive-selector': [
        'error',
        {
          type: 'attribute',
          prefix: 'si',
          style: 'camelCase'
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  ...templateConfig
);

The @angular-eslint/builder will not automatically pick up the library config location, manually provide it in angular.json:

Migration from TSLint

Also in angular.json, make sure to replace the TSLint related entries like this:

          }
        },

Note: to use less strict rules, which are derived from the upstream Angular recommendation and more geared towards applications, use the base rules, by importing { configBase } instead.

Stylelint

Include the stylelint preset in your .stylelintrc.yml:

extends:
  - '@siemens/stylelint-config-scss/stylelintrc.yml'

Commitlint

Include the commitlint preset in your package.json:

  "commitlint": {
    "extends": [
      "@siemens/commitlint-config/.commitlintrc.js"
    ]
  },

// Optional: Pre-commit hook using husky: https://github.com/typicode/husky
  "husky": {
      "hooks": {
        "commit-msg": "commitlint -E HUSKY_GIT_PARAMS"
      }
    },

Prettier

Include the shared Prettier config in your package.json:

"prettier": "@siemens/prettier-config",

ESLint Plugin

The usage of the ESLint plugin is documented here.

Usage

The preset will now be automatically used by eslint and ng lint. Please refer to the Angular ESLint and ng lint documentation for more details.

Add the commitlint, ESlint and stylelint scripts to your package.json:

"scripts": {
  "lint": "ng lint",
  "lint:sass": "stylelint **.scss",
  "lint:commit": "commitlint --from=origin/main",
  "lint:all": "npm run lint:commit && npm run lint && npm run lint:sass"
}

To fix ESLint issues automatically use:

"scripts": {
  "lint:fix": "ng lint --fix"
}

To fix stylelint issues automatically use:

"scripts": {
  "lint:sass:fix": "stylelint --fix **.scss"
}

Make sure to call the linters in your CI build chain in .gitlab-ci.yml:

lint:
  stage: tests
  script:
    - npm install
    - npm run lint:all

Note: To make commitlint work in Gitlab CI, one needs to set the Git shallow clone setting to 0 (found in project settings > CI / CD). That way GitLab CI fetches all branches and tags each time.
