GitHub Actions provides a great way to automate workflow processes and make development and deployment more efficient. Linting is an important part of any software development project to ensure code consistency and maintain uniform standards. In this post, I will explain how to setup a Github Actions workflow lint to automate your linting process.
Setting up a GitHub Actions workflow lint is easy and can help keep your codebase consistent and maintainable.
First, you need to create a workflow file in your project’s root directory. This file should be named .github/workflows/lint.yml
and should contain the configuration necessary to run your linting script.
Let’s say your package.json file looks like this:
"scripts": {
(...)
"lint": "eslint --ignore-path .gitignore . --ext .js"
},
Create a file at ./github/workflows/lint.yml
Paste this content:
name: lint
on: push
jobs:
lint:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Cache node modules
uses: actions/cache@v2
env:
cache-name: cache-node-modules
with:
path: ~/.npm
key: ${{ runner.os }}-build-${{ env.cache-name }}-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}
restore-keys: |
${{ runner.os }}-build-${{ env.cache-name }}-
${{ runner.os }}-build-
${{ runner.os }}-
- name: Install Dependencies
run: npm install
- name: Lint
run: npm run lint
