lint-my-app

3.7.65 verified Fri May 01 auth: no javascript maintenance

lint-my-app is a zero-config linting tool that wraps lint-staged and husky to automatically fix staged files on commit and lint the entire codebase on push. It ships with sensible defaults (using ESLint, stylelint, prettier, and more) and respects existing configuration in your project. As of v3.7.65, it requires Node.js >=12.8.0 and has frequent releases but is in maintenance mode. It differs from alternatives like lint-staged alone by bundling husky configuration and providing built-in linting commands.

Common errors

error Error: Cannot find module 'lint-my-app/husky' ↓

cause Husky config file is not correct or package is not installed.

fix

Ensure lint-my-app is installed: npm install --save-dev lint-my-app

error Unknown command: --lint ↓

cause Using a flag instead of a subcommand.

fix

Use: npx lint-my-app lint

error husky > pre-commit hook failed (add --no-verify to bypass) ↓

cause Linting failed on staged files, preventing commit.

fix

Fix the errors or bypass with --no-verify temporarily.

Warnings

gotcha Husky must be installed separately as a peer dependency. ↓

fix Run: npm install --save-dev husky

gotcha Husky v5+ requires additional configuration; lint-my-app's husky config may not work out of the box. ↓

fix Use husky v4 or adapt to v5's .husky directory structure.

deprecated Package is in maintenance mode with no active development since 2020. ↓

fix Consider migrating to lint-staged + husky directly.

gotcha Only works with git repositories; will error if not inside a git repo. ↓

fix Initialize a git repository with 'git init' before using.

Install

npm install lint-my-app

yarn add lint-my-app

pnpm add lint-my-app

Imports

default (Husky config)
wrong
```
import huskyConfig from 'lint-my-app/husky';
```
correct
```
module.exports = require('lint-my-app/husky');
```
The config is a CommonJS module. Use require() in .huskyrc.js.
CLI commands
wrong
```
npx lint-my-app --lint
```
correct
```
npx lint-my-app lint
```
Commands are subcommands: 'lint', 'fix', 'staged'. Do not use flags.

huskyrc.js

wrong

export { default } from 'lint-my-app/husky';

correct

module.exports = require('lint-my-app/husky');

Husky expects CommonJS exports. ESM syntax will fail.

Quickstart

Install dependencies and configure husky with lint-my-app's default hooks.

npm install --save-dev lint-my-app husky

cat > .huskyrc.js << 'EOF'
module.exports = require('lint-my-app/husky');
EOF

git add . && git commit -m 'init lint-my-app'
