happiness-scss

library5.3.0jsnpmunverified

A SCSS/Sass linter based on sass-lint that enforces a 'happiness' style guide, similar to the JavaScript happiness linter. Current stable version is 5.3.0 (last released in 2017). It provides a CLI tool and Node.js API to check .scss and .sass files for style errors. Key differentiators: it is a simple, opinionated linter with minimal configuration, intended to bring consistency without debate. However, the project is no longer maintained, and sass-lint itself is deprecated in favor of stylelint. Use in legacy projects only.

Shows CLI usage and Node.js API for linting SCSS/Sass files using happiness-scss.

// Install: npm install -g happiness-scss // Check all .scss files in current directory and subdirectories: happiness-scss // Or specify a glob pattern: happiness-scss "./src/**/*.scss" // Use different formatter: happiness-scss -f table // Ignore patterns: happiness-scss -i "./test/vendor/**" // Node.js API: const happiness = require('happiness-scss'); happiness.lintFiles('./src/**/*.scss', { formatter: 'stylish', options: { 'merge-default-rules': false } }).then(results => { console.log(results); });

Debug

Known issues

deprecatedhappiness-scss is no longer maintained. Use stylelint instead.

fix

Migrate to stylelint with stylelint-config-standard-scss.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedsass-lint is deprecated. happiness-scss wraps sass-lint and thus inherits its deprecation.

fix

Switch to stylelint and stylelint-scss plugin.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaThe CLI does not respect .sass-lint.yml configuration by default; it uses its own built-in rules.

fix

Use '--config' flag to specify custom config file if needed.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaIgnore pattern defaults to ./node_modules/** but does not ignore other common directories like .git, bower_components.

fix

Explicitly add ignore patterns for other directories using -i option.

affects: >=0.0.0
