Moreover, it introduces some specific rules that can be used to lint SCSS, e.g. to limit [`nesting`](https://stylelint.io/user-guide/rules/max-nesting-depth), control the way [`@-rules`](https://stylelint.io/user-guide/rules#at-rule) are written. Yet Stylelint is in general focused on standard CSS. stylelint-scss introduces rules specific to SCSS syntax. That said, the rules from this plugin can be used with other syntaxes, like Less or some PostCSS syntaxes. That's why the rules' names are not tied to SCSS only (`at-function-pattern` instead of `scss-function-pattern`). The plugin follows Stylelint's guidelines (about [rule names](https://stylelint.io/user-guide/rules), testing and [so on](https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/tree/main/docs/developer-guide)). ## Installation and usage This plugin is used in the [stylelint-config-standard-scss shared config](https://github.com/stylelint-scss/stylelint-config-standard-scss). We recommend using that shared config, rather than installing this plugin directly. However, the plugin can still be used in you're crafting a config from the ground up. First, install `stylelint-scss` (and `stylelint`, if you haven't done so yet) via npm: ```sh npm install stylelint stylelint-scss ``` Create the `.stylelintrc.json` config file (or open the existing one), add `stylelint-scss` to the plugins array and the rules you need to the rules list. All rules from stylelint-scss need to be namespaced with `scss`. ```jsonc { "plugins": ["stylelint-scss"], "rules": { // recommended rules "at-rule-no-unknown": null, "scss/at-rule-no-unknown": true, // ... // any other rules you'd want to change e.g. "scss/dollar-variable-pattern": "^foo", "scss/selector-no-redundant-nesting-selector": true } } ``` Please refer to [Stylelint docs](https://stylelint.io/user-guide/get-started) for detailed info on using this linter. ## List of rules Here are stylelint-scss' rules, grouped by the _thing_ they apply to (just like in [Stylelint](https://stylelint.io/user-guide/rules)). Please also see the [example configs](./docs/examples/) for special cases. ### `@`-each - [`at-each-key-value-single-line`](./src/rules/at-each-key-value-single-line/README.md): This is a rule that checks for situations where users have done a loop using map-keys or map.keys and grabbed the value for that key inside of the loop. ### `@`-else - [`at-else-closing-brace-newline-after`](./src/rules/at-else-closing-brace-newline-after/README.md): Require or disallow a newline after the closing brace of `@else` statements (Autofixable). - [`at-else-closing-brace-space-after`](./src/rules/at-else-closing-brace-space-after/README.md): Require a single space or disallow whitespace after the closing brace of `@else` statements (Autofixable). - [`at-else-empty-line-before`](./src/rules/at-else-empty-line-before/README.md): Require an empty line or disallow empty lines before `@`-else (Autofixable). - [`at-else-if-parentheses-space-before`](./src/rules/at-else-if-parentheses-space-before/README.md): Require or disallow a space before `@else if` parentheses (Autofixable). ### `@`-extend - [`at-extend-no-missing-placeholder`](./src/rules/at-extend-no-missing-placeholder/README.md): Disallow at-extends (`@extend`) with missing placeholders. ### `@`-function - [`at-function-named-arguments`](./src/rules/at-function-named-arguments/README.md): Require named parameters in SCSS function call rule. - [`at-function-parentheses-space-before`](./src/rules/at-function-parentheses-space-before/README.md): Require or disallow a space before `@function` parentheses (Autofixable). - [`at-function-pattern`](./src/rules/at-function-pattern/README.md): Specify a pattern for Sass/SCSS-like function names. ### `@`-if - [`at-if-closing-brace-newline-after`](./src/rules/at-if-closing-brace-newline-after/README.md): Require or disallow a newline after the closing brace of `@if` statements (Autofixable). - [`at-if-closing-brace-space-after`](./src/rules/at-if-closing-brace-space-after/README.md): Require a single space or disallow whitespace after the closing brace of `@if` statements (Autofixable). - [`at-if-no-null`](./src/rules/at-if-no-null/README.md): Disallow `null` in `@if` statements. ### `@`-import - [`at-import-partial-extension`](./src/rules/at-import-partial-extension/README.md): Require or disallow extension in `@import` commands (Autofixable). - [`at-import-partial-extension-allowed-list`](./src/rules/at-import-partial-extension-allowed-list/README.md): Specify a list of allowed file extensions for partial names in `@import` commands. - [`at-import-partial-extension-disallowed-list`](./src/rules/at-import-partial-extension-disallowed-list/README.md): Specify a list of disallowed file extensions for partial names in `@import` commands. ### `@`-mixin - [`at-mixin-argumentless-call-parentheses`](./src/rules/at-mixin-argumentless-call-parentheses/README.md): Require or disallow parentheses in argumentless `@mixin` calls (Autofixable). - [`at-mixin-named-arguments`](./src/rules/at-mixin-named-arguments/README.md): Require named parameters in at-mixin call rule. - [`at-mixin-parentheses-space-before`](./src/rules/at-mixin-parentheses-space-before/README.md): Require or disallow a space before `@mixin` parentheses (Autofixable). - [`at-mixin-pattern`](./src/rules/at-mixin-pattern/README.md): Specify a pattern for Sass/SCSS-like mixin names. ### `@`-rule - [`at-rule-conditional-no-parentheses`](./src/rules/at-rule-conditional-no-parentheses/README.md): Disallow parentheses in conditional @ rules (if, elsif, while) (Autofixable). - [`at-rule-no-unknown`](./src/rules/at-rule-no-unknown/README.md): Disallow unknown at-rules.

We recommend you use a pretty printer (like Prettier) alongside Stylelint rather than these rules. - [`at-import-no-partial-leading-underscore`](https://github.com/stylelint-scss/stylelint-scss/blob/v5.2.1/src/rules/at-import-no-partial-leading-underscore/README.md): Disallow leading underscore in partial names in `@import`. - [`at-import-partial-extension-blacklist`](https://github.com/stylelint-scss/stylelint-scss/blob/v6.1.0/src/rules/at-import-partial-extension-blacklist/README.md): Specify a blacklist of disallowed file extensions for partial names in `@import` commands. - [`at-import-partial-extension-whitelist`](https://github.com/stylelint-scss/stylelint-scss/blob/v6.1.0/src/rules/at-import-partial-extension-whitelist/README.md): Specify a whitelist of allowed file extensions for partial names in `@import` commands. ## Help out The work on the plugin's rules is still in progress, so if you feel like it, you're welcome to help out with any of these (the plugin follows Stylelint guidelines so most of this is based on its docs): - Create, enhance, and debug rules (see Stylelint's guide to "[Working on rules](https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint/blob/main/docs/developer-guide/rules.md)"). - Improve documentation. - Chime in on any open issue or pull request. - Open new issues about your ideas on new rules, or for how to improve the existing ones, and pull requests to show us how your idea works. - Add new tests to absolutely anything. - Work on improving performance of rules. - Contribute to [Stylelint](https://github.com/stylelint/stylelint) - Spread the word. We communicate via [issues](https://github.com/stylelint-scss/stylelint-scss/issues) and [pull requests](https://github.com/stylelint-scss/stylelint-scss/pulls). There is also [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/stylelint), which would be the preferred QA forum. ## Contributors Thanks goes to these wonderful people:
