[17.1.0] - 2023-05-29

Update eslint-config-standard from 17.0.0 to 17.1.0

[17.0.0] - 2022-04-20

We're super excited to announce standard 17!

This major release fully focuses on getting in sync with the wider ESLint ecosystem and doesn't in itself introduce any new rules or features.

When you upgrade, consider running standard --fix to automatically format your code to match the current set of rules.

This is the first release by two of our standard co-maintainers @Divlo and @voxpelli. Buy them a cake if you run into them, thanks for getting this release out!

Major changes

eslint-config-node has been replaced with the up to date fork eslint-config-n. If you have used comments like // eslint-disable-line node/no-deprecated-api you now have to reference the n/ rules instead.
object-shorthand rule (as warning)
Use of ESLint 8, which allows for support for all of the latest syntax that ESLint 8 includes, such as top level await #1548 #1775
--verbose by default

Changed features

Update eslint from ~7.18.0 to ^8.13.0
Update eslint-config-standard from 16.0.3 to 17.0.0 to adapt to ESLint 8
Update eslint-config-standard-jsx from 10.0.0 to ^11.0.0 to adapt to ESLint 8
Update standard-engine from ^14 to ^15.0.0 to adapt to ESLint 8, see its CHANGELOG

Fix: Follow up to the fix of #1548 in 17.0.0-1 #1775

[17.0.0-1] - 2022-01-31

Fix: Ensure we support all of the latest syntax that ESLint 8 includes, such as top level await #1548

[17.0.0-0] - 2022-01-31

We're finally able to offer a pre-release of ESLint 8 based standard 17!

This major release fully focuses on getting in sync with the wider ESLint ecosystem and doesn't in itself introduce any new rules or features.

This pre-release exists to test out the ESLint 8 related changes and discover possible backwards incompatible changes that comes with it and mitigate unintended such before a stable release.

When you upgrade, consider running standard --fix to automatically format your code to match the current set of rules.

Changed features

Update eslint from ~7.18.0 to ^8.8.0
Update eslint-config-standard from 16.0.3 to 17.0.0-0 to adapt to ESLint 8
Update eslint-config-standard-jsx from 10.0.0 to 11.0.0-0 to adapt to ESLint 8

16.0.3 - 2020-11-17

Update eslint from ~7.12.1 to ~7.13.0
Relax rule: Enforce default parameters to be last #1414

16.0.2 - 2020-11-11

Allow standard to run on Node 11, even though it's not officially supported #1597

16.0.1 - 2020-10-30

Introduce "warning" system for disruptive rules (read more below)
Change rule to a "warning": Require let or const instead of var (no-var) #633

standard treats all rule violations as errors, which means that standard will exit with a non-zero (error) exit code.

However, we may occasionally release a new major version of standard which changes a rule that affects the majority of standard users (for example, transitioning from var to let/const). We do this only when we think the advantage is worth the cost and only when the rule is auto-fixable.

In these situations, we have a "transition period" where the rule change is only a "warning". Warnings don't cause standard to return a non-zero (error) exit code. However, a warning message will still print to the console. During the transition period, using standard --fix will update your code so that it's ready for the next major version.

The slow and careful approach is what we strive for with standard. We're generally extremely conservative in enforcing the usage of new language features. We want using standard to be light and fun and so we're careful about making changes that may get in your way. As always, you can disable a rule at any time, if necessary.

16.0.0 - 2020-10-28

We're super excited to announce standard 16!

As with every new major release, there are lots of new rules in 16.0.0 designed to help catch bugs and make programmer intent more explicit. This release brings better performance, tons of bug fixes, improved JSX, React ⚛️, and Next.js support!

When you upgrade, consider running standard --fix to automatically format your code to match the newly added rules.

New features

🏎 Better performance: the filesystem doesn't need to be traversed multiple times! #1023
- Massive improvements (on the order of minutes!) for projects with huge folders which are are ignored with .gitignore
🌟 Support the .gitignore ignore syntax from the command line #1117
- In older versions, the command standard src would not lint the src/ folder
- Instead, a glob pattern like standard src/**/*.js was required
- This is now fixed! You can run standard src to lint the src/ folder!
🌟 Support relative paths from the command line in more situations (e.g. standard ../src/*.js) #1384
🌟 New extensions option for linting additional extensions besides .js, .jsx, .mjs, and .cjs
- Can be configured with the --ext command line flag or in package.json:
- Example:
```
standard --ext .ts
```
```
{
  "standard": {
    "extensions": [".ts"]
  }
}
```
🌟 New cache directory location, respecting XDG_CACHE_HOME preference, with fallback to ~/.cache/standard standard-engine/#214

Changed features

Update eslint from ~7.11.0 to ~7.12.1
Update standard-engine from ^12 to ^14
- Fix inaccurate --help command which indicates that bundle.js is automatically ignored when it is not anymore standard-engine/#224
- Remove deglob package and use built-in ESLint folder-traversal support
Paths with square brackets (e.g. [ and ]) are no longer skipped #1333
- This pattern is particularly common in Next.js apps, e.g. blog/[slug].js
- You may notice new errors in these files since they were not being linted before
Better mono-repo support: Nested node_modules/ folders are ignored by default #1182
Remove eslint-plugin-standard #1316
- We migrated the remaining no-callback-literal rule into eslint-plugin-node

New features

Update eslint from ~5.16.0 to ~6.0.1
- BREAKING: Node.js 6 is no longer supported
  - Node.js 6 is EOL and will no longer be receiving security updates. As a result, the eslint team has decided to drop support for it.
  - To prevent breaking CI for projects which still support Node 6, standard silently passes when run by an unsupported version of Node.
- For eslint-config-standard users only: Plugins are no longer affected by eslint's location
  - Previously, ESLint loaded plugins relative to the location of the ESLint package itself. As a result, we suggested that users with global ESLint installations should also install plugins globally, and users with local ESLint installations should install plugins locally.
  - With ESLint v6, plugins should always be installed locally, even if ESLint was installed globally. More precisely, ESLint v6 resolves plugins relative to the end user’s project by default, and always resolves shareable configs and parsers relative to the location of the config file that imports them.
  - See migrating to ESLint 6.0.0 for more information.
The documentation is now available in Japanese 🇯🇵!
- Thanks to @munierujp for the excellent work!
- Other community contributed translations exist in Spanish, French, Italian, Korean, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and Taiwanese Mandarin.
- More translations are always welcome!

👏 Huge thanks to @Flet for putting together most of this release!

10.0.3 - 2017-08-06

Internal changes (incremented dependency versions)

10.0.2 - 2017-04-14

Changed rules

Relax rule: Disallow import of modules using absolute paths (import/no-absolute-path) #861
- This rule was responsible for up to 25% of the running time of standard, so we are disabling it until its performance improves.

10.0.1 - 2017-04-06

Internal changes (incremented dependency versions)

10.0.0 - 2017-04-04

standard just turned 10.0.0! 🎉

As with every new major release, there are lots of new rules in 10.0.0 designed to help catch bugs and make programmer intent more explicit.

standard is more popular than ever – 330,000 downloads per month! It's even more popular – 670,000 downloads per month – if you include the shareable ESLint config that we also publish.

The most important change in 10.0.0 is that using deprecated Node.js APIs is now considered an error. It's finally time to update those dusty old APIs!

Deprecated APIs are problematic because they may print warning messages in the console in recent versions of Node.js. This often confuses users and leads to unnecessary support tickets for project maintainers.

Some deprecated APIs are even insecure (or at least prone to incorrect usage) which can have serious security implications. For that reason, standard now considers usage of Buffer(num) to be an error, since this function returns uninitialized program memory which could contain confidential information like passwords or keys.

Instead of Buffer(num), consider using Buffer.alloc(num) or Buffer.from(obj) which make the programmer's intent clearer. These functions exist in all currently supported versions of Node.js, including Node.js 4.x. For more background, see this Node.js issue.

We also improved some rules to support common patterns in code bases that use React, JSX, and Flow.

When you upgrade, consider running standard --fix to automatically fix some of the issues caught by this new version.

New features

Update ESLint from 3.15.x to 3.19.x.
Node.js API: Add standard.lintTextSync method

New rules

(Estimated % of affected standard users, based on test suite in parens)

Disallow using deprecated Node.js APIs (node/no-deprecated-api) #693 [13%]
- Ensures that code always runs without warnings on the latest versions of Node.js
- Ensures that safe Buffer methods (Buffer.from(), Buffer.alloc()) are used instead of Buffer()
Enforce callbacks always called with Node.js-style error first (standard/no-callback-literal) #623 [3%]
- Functions named callback or cb must be invoked with null, undefined, or an Error as the first argument
- Disallows using a string instead of an Error object
- Disallows confusing callbacks that do not follow the standard Node.js pattern
Disallow any imports that come after non-import statements (import/first) #806 [1%]
Disallow unnecessary return await (no-return-await) #695 [0%]
Disallow comma-dangle in functions (comma-dangle) #787 [0%]
Disallow repeated exports of names or defaults (import/export) #806 [0%]

Disallow Webpack loader syntax in imports (import/no-webpack-loader-syntax) #806 [0%]
Disallow comparing against -0 (no-compare-neg-zero) #812 [0%]

Changed rules

Relax rule: allow using ...rest to omit properties from an object (no-unused-vars) #800
- This is a common and useful pattern in React/JSX apps!
Relax rule: allow Flow import type statements (import/no-duplicates) #599
- These are no longer considered to be "duplicate imports"
Relax rule: Treat process.exit() the same as throw in code path analysis (node/process-exit-as-throw) #699
- Makes certain other rules work better and give fewer false positives
Relax rule: allow Unnecessary Labels (no-extra-label)
- Redundant, since "no-labels" is already enabled, which is more restrictive

9.0.2 - 2017-03-17

Changed rules

Relax rule: Allow tagged template string expressions (no-unused-expressions) #822

9.0.1 - 2017-03-07

Changed rules

Relax rule: Allow mixing basic operators without parens (no-mixed-operators) #816
- Specifically, these operators: +, -, *, /, %, and **

9.0.0 - 2017-02-28

It's time for a new major version of standard! As usual, this release contains a bunch of awesomeness to help you keep your code in tip-top shape!

We've added several new rules designed to catch potential programmer errors (i.e. bugs), as well as rules to make programmer intent more explicit in certain circumstances.

This release continues our trend of tightening up rules so that, wherever possible, there's one "right" way to do things. This design goal is intended to reduce the time that teams and maintainers spend giving code review feedback in pull requests.

When you upgrade, consider running standard --fix to automatically fix some of the errors caught by the new rules in this version.

Note: If you use the Chai test framework, you will need to make some changes to your tests to improve their robustness. Read about the changes you need to make.

New features

Update ESLint from 3.10.x to 3.15.x
3 additional rules are now fixable with standard --fix

New rules

(Estimated % of affected standard users, based on test suite in parens)

Disallow mixing different operators without parens (no-mixed-operators) #566 [5%]
Enforce 1 newline at end of file (previously 1 or 2 were ok) (no-multiple-empty-lines) #733 [3%]
Disallow Unused Expressions (no-unused-expressions) #690 [3%]
- Note: this affects users of the Chai test framework. Read about the changes you need to make.
Disallow redundant return statements (no-useless-return) #694 [1%]
Disallow Incorrect Early Use (no-use-before-define) #636 [0%]
Enforce that Promise rejections are passed an Error object as a reason (prefer-promise-reject-errors) #777 [0%]
Enforce comparing typeof expressions against string literals (valid-typeof) #629 [0%]
Enforce spacing around * in generator functions (generator-star-spacing) #724 [0%]

8.6.0 - 2016-11-22

Update ESLint from 3.8.x to 3.10.x
3 additional rules are now fixable with standard --fix

8.5.0 - 2016-10-25

Update ESLint from 3.7.x to 3.8.x
2 additional rules are now fixable with standard --fix

8.4.0 - 2016-10-10

Update ESLint from 3.6.x to 3.7.x
5 additional rules are now fixable with standard --fix
Use more conservative semver ranges #654

8.3.0 - 2016-09-29

The last release (8.2.0) added ES7 support. This release (8.3.0) adds ES8 support ...just 3 days later!

This release should eliminate the need to specify babel-eslint as a custom parser, since standard can now parse ES8 (i.e. ES2017) syntax out of the box. That means async and await will just work.

Support ES8 (i.e. ES2017) syntax.

8.2.0 - 2016-09-26

For many users, this release should eliminate the need to specify babel-eslint as a custom parser, since standard can now parse ES7 (i.e. ES2016) syntax out of the box.

Support ES7 (i.e. ES2016) syntax.
Update ESLint from 3.5.x to 3.6.x
4 additional rules are now fixable with standard --fix

8.1.0 - 2016-09-17

Update ESLint from 3.3.x to 3.5.x
Around 10 additional rules are now fixable with standard --fix

8.0.0 - 2016-08-23

This release contains a bunch of goodies, including new rules that catch potential programmer errors (i.e. bugs) and enforce additional code consistency.

However, the best feature is surely the new --fix command line flag to automatically fix problems. If you ever used standard-format and ran into issues with the lack of ES2015+ support, you'll be happy about --fix.

standard --fix is built into standard v8.0.0 for maximum convenience, it supports ES2015, and it's lightweight (no additional dependencies since it's part of ESLint which powers standard). Lots of problems are already fixable, and more are getting added with each ESLint release.

standard also outputs a message ("Run standard --fix to automatically fix some problems.") when it detects problems that can be fixed automatically so you can save time!

With standard v8.0.0, we are also dropping support for Node.js versions prior to v4. Node.js 0.10 and 0.12 are in maintenance mode and will be unsupported at the end of 2016. Node.js 4 is the current LTS version. If you are using an older version of Node.js, we recommend upgrading to at least Node.js 4 as soon as possible. If you are unable to upgrade to Node.js 4 or higher, then we recommend continuing to use standard v7.x until you are ready to upgrade Node.js.

Important: We will not be updating the standard v7.x versions going forward. All bug fixes and enhancements will land in standard v8.x.

Full changelog below. Cheers!

6.0.0 - 2016-02-05

The goal of this release is to make standard faster to install, and simpler to use.

Remove `standard-format` (#340) (#397)

Eliminates 250 packages, and cuts install time in half!
For npm 2, install time goes from 20 secs —> 10 secs.
For npm 3, install time goes from 24 secs —> 12 secs.
To continue using standard-format, just install it separately: npm install -g standard-format

React-specific linting rules are removed (#351) (#367) (eslint-config-standard-react/#13)

JSX is still supported, and it continues to be checked for style.
There were only a few React-specific rules, but they made it extremely difficult for users of alternatives like virtual-dom or deku, and unecessarily tied standard to a single library.
JSX rules come from eslint-config-standard-jsx. The eslint-config-standard-react dependency was removed.

New Rules

The percentage (%) of users that rule changes will effect, based on real-world testing of the top ~400 npm packages is denoted in brackets.

Disallow __dirname/__filename string concatenation (#403) (no-path-concat) [5%]
Require parens in arrow function arguments (#309) (arrow-parens) [5%]
Ensure that new Promise() is instantiated with the parameter names resolve, reject (#282) (promise/param-names) [1%]
Enforce Usage of Spacing in Template Strings (template-curly-spacing) [1%]
Template strings are only allowed when necessary, i.e. template string features are being used (eslint got stricter: eslint/eslint#5147) [1%]
Better dead code detection after conditional statements (eslint got stricter) [1%]
Enforce spaces around * in yield * something (#335) (yield-star-spacing) [0%]
Disallow labels on loops/switch statements too (made rule stricter) (no-labels) [0%]
Disallow unnecessary constructor (no-useless-constructor) [0%]
Disallow empty destructuring patterns (no-empty-pattern) [0%]
Disallow Symbol Constructor (no-new-symbol) [0%]
Disallow Self Assignment (no-self-assign) [0%]

Removed Rules

parseInt() radix rule because ES5 fixes this issue (#384) (radix) [0%]

Expose eslint configuration via command line options and `package.json`

For power users, it might be easier to use one of these new hooks instead of forking standard, though that's still encouraged, too!

Set eslint "plugins" (#386)
Set eslint "rules" (#367)
Set eslint "env" (#371)

To set custom ESLint plugins, rules, or envs, use the command line --plugin, --rules, and --env flags.

In package.json, use the "standard" property:

{
  "standard": {
    "plugins": [ "my-plugin" ]
  }
}

Upgrade to ESLint v2

There may be slight behavior changes to existing rules. When possible, we've noted these in the "New Rules" and "Removed Rules" section.

Improve test suite

Rule changes can be tested against every package on npm. For sanity, this is limited to packages with at least 4 dependents. Around 400 packages.

Known Issues

Using prerelease eslint version (2.0.0-rc.0). There may be breaking changes before the stable release.
no-return-assign behavior changed with arrow functions (eslint/eslint#5150)

eslint v1.0.0 is released! eslint added some new rules that are nice, and lots of existing rules have subtle behavior changes designed to catch more errors.

Let's talk about the next version of standard! We bumped the major version to v5.0.0 to pull in these improvements.

New rules:

space before/after arrow functions (https://github.com/feross/eslint-config-standard/commit/cf31561306f102b0772de55cd410b20912e733ee)
indent switch "case" sections (https://github.com/feross/eslint-config-standard/commit/c6b10f68aa31e323933b14e04b50d8c1075ef28c)
don't reassign class variable names (https://github.com/feross/eslint-config-standard/commit/96c727fdf917f213e23320cc9971a0e2e5bf2b7b)
don't reassign const variables (https://github.com/feross/eslint-config-standard/commit/2dd1a09edcff6656731a394231e93850e55cc39d)
don't use .call() or .apply() to invoke a function unless it's necessary (https://github.com/feross/eslint-config-standard/commit/6fba6e34d9281a716bf7ffc9fc5d804f6403f505)

Changed rules:

use no-extra-parens instead of the deprecated no-wrap-func rule (https://github.com/feross/eslint-config-standard/commit/fc8a076c156d949b0b6046281f2e5f5c91e7da62)
indent got stricter and catches errors in object literal indentation. 12/131 repos in the test suite started failing after this rule was improved.
