Developers write code every day. What if there was a way to automatically enforce standardized code formatting for yourself and others on your team? Good news, there is a way! It’s called linting, and beyond improving code readability, when code is formatted in a standardized way it is easier to bring new people into a project (or return yourself after weeks or months away), reduces cognitive load, and avoids common coding errors.
In this talk, we will cover:
- An overview of linting – what it is and how it can help
- Specific tools and techniques for linting CSS/SCSS, JavaScript, and PHP
- A look at different linting configurations and how to pick one that works for you
- Examples of how you can incorporate linting into your development processes
