vfile-reporter
vfile utility to create a report.
Contents
What is this?
This package create a textual report from a file showing the warnings that occurred while processing. Many CLIs of tools that process files, whether linters (such as ESLint) or bundlers (such as esbuild), have similar functionality.
When should I use this?
You can use this package whenever you want to display a report about what occurred while processing to a human.
There are other reporters that display information differently listed in vfile.
Install
This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 12.20+, 14.14+, or 16.0+), install with npm:
npm install vfile-reporter
In Deno with esm.sh
:
import {reporter} from 'https://esm.sh/vfile-reporter@7'
In browsers with esm.sh
:
<script type="module">
import {reporter} from 'https://esm.sh/vfile-reporter@7?bundle'
</script>
Use
Say our module example.js
looks as follows:
import {VFile} from 'vfile'
import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter'
const one = new VFile({path: 'test/fixture/1.js'})
const two = new VFile({path: 'test/fixture/2.js'})
one.message('Warning!', {line: 2, column: 4})
console.error(reporter([one, two]))
…now running node example.js
yields:
test/fixture/1.js
2:4 warning Warning!
test/fixture/2.js: no issues found
⚠ 1 warning
