mt-lint

library0.0.21jsnpmunverified

A static code analysis tool for iOS, Android, and JavaScript projects, designed to be integrated into development workflows. Current stable version is 0.0.21, released with a focus on Xcode 9 compatibility and Git pre-commit hooks. It supports custom rules and analysis for iOS (including CocoaPods projects) and JS, with basic Android support. Unlike general-purpose linters, mt-lint is specifically tailored for mobile app development, automating code checks on commit to enforce coding standards.

default

✓ import mtLint from 'mt-lint'

✗ const mtLint = require('mt-lint')

Package does not export a programmatic API; expected usage is as a CLI tool.

Installs mt-lint globally, sets the platform to iOS, and starts static analysis on a project.

npm install -g mt-lint mt-lint add -P ios mt-lint start my_project_path

mt-lint --version

Debug

Known issues

gotchaiOS projects using Xcode 9 must set COMPILER_INDEX_STORE_ENABLE to NO to avoid compilation issues.

fix

Set COMPILER_INDEX_STORE_ENABLE = NO in Xcode build settings or add the provided CocoaPods post_install hook.

affects: >=0.0.0

gotchaFor iOS projects, the .git directory must be in the same parent directory as the .xcodeproj/.xcworkspace file for automatic pre-commit hook to work.

fix

Use mt-lint add -H <git-path> -S <proj-path> to specify both paths explicitly.

affects: >=0.0.0

breakingIf the pre-commit hook is active and a commit fails analysis, the commit is blocked. To skip the hook, use git commit --no-verify or -n.

fix

Add --no-verify flag to git commit command for emergency commits.

affects: >=0.0.0

deprecatedThe -P option for setting platform may be deprecated in future versions in favor of automatic detection.

fix

Keep using -P for now; future versions may add auto-detection.

affects: >=0.0.21

Git hook installation failed: .git directory not found.

The path provided with -H does not point to a directory containing .git.
