denolint

2.0.14 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript

Deno lint command-line executable for Node.js, version 2.0.14, released monthly. It leverages the Rust-based deno_lint engine via N-API to provide fast linting for both JavaScript and TypeScript, outperforming eslint. Key differentiators include support for eslint-style ignore patterns, configurable directories, eslint-disable comments, and multiple output formats. It is a fork of @node-rs/deno-lint with added flexibility and CLI usability improvements.
