About Stylelint

Stylelint is a powerful CSS linter designed to help developers maintain high-quality, error-free, and consistent CSS codebases. It provides over 100 built-in rules for modern CSS syntax and features, enabling users to catch common mistakes like malformed grid areas, duplicate selectors, and misspelled property names. Beyond error prevention, Stylelint helps enforce coding conventions by allowing users to disallow specific units, enforce naming patterns for custom properties, set limits on selector types, and specify notations for modern color functions. The tool is highly extensible, supporting plugins for custom rules, shareable configurations, and the ability to parse CSS-like languages such as SCSS, Sass, Less, and SugarSS. It can also extract embedded styles from HTML, Markdown, and CSS-in-JS template literals. Stylelint is configurable to exact project needs, boasts a robust test suite with high coverage, and is trusted by major companies like Google and GitHub, making it a reliable choice for individual developers and large teams alike. It is recommended to be used alongside a pretty printer like Prettier for a comprehensive code quality workflow.
