lint-changed

0.0.0-development verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript abandoned

Run linters against git-changed files (both staged and unstaged) to enforce code quality before commit. Version 0.0.0-development, based on lint-staged but differs by including modified-but-unstaged files via changed-git-files instead of staged-git-files. Supports ESLint, stylelint, and other linters for JavaScript, CSS, SCSS, and more. No active maintenance or releases beyond the initial development version. Key differentiator: lints all changed files, not just staged ones, useful for pre-commit checks.

Common errors

error TypeError: lintChanged is not a function ↓

cause Used CommonJS require on an ESM-only module.

cause Missing peer dependency 'changed-git-files'.

fix

Install it: npm install changed-git-files --save-dev

error SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export' ↓

fix

Use a bundler or Node with --experimental-modules flag.

fix Switch to lint-staged for a maintained and stable alternative.

breaking Package is ESM-only and cannot be used with CommonJS require. ↓

fix Use import syntax or dynamic import().

gotcha The package may not handle large repositories efficiently; no performance guarantees. ↓

fix Test with your codebase size; consider limiting file patterns.

Install

wrong

const lintChanged = require('lint-changed')

correct

Quickstart

Runs ESLint on changed JS files and stylelint on changed CSS files, then logs the result.

import lintChanged from 'lint-changed';

const result = await lintChanged({
  linters: {
    '*.js': ['eslint --fix'],
    '*.css': ['stylelint --fix']
  },
  // optional: directory to search for git repo
  cwd: process.cwd()
});
console.log('Linting complete:', result);
