Public API

[zimme]

Let's discuss the public api of this package. I see this as an internal package used by @linterjs/cli and the adapters.

This package should also be used by editor integrations.

I see the following functionality as needed, for now.

For cli, editors and other programmatic use cases.

• lint
• format
• enable/disable registered linters?

For linter adapters

• register linter

[zimme]

We will need a common lint output format so that the cli and editors can pretty print the output for all linters.

Working on a "light-weight" version of eslint's output with some additions from tslint's output, for LinterAdapterLintOutput.

What do you think about changing the naming to check/fix instead of lint/format? I've seen it in Google's ts-style project and I think it makes sense in here as well. Making the prettier adaptor i.e. expose a "lint" function seems a bit weird, doesn't it?

[zimme]

Worth thinking about, however the prettier provider will be using prettylint which make prettier work like a linter based on some of the exposed functionality fron eslint-plugin-prettier
