Overview

CSS/SCSS/Less linter using Stylelint. Uses the Library execution strategy — calls the Stylelint API directly rather than spawning a subprocess.

| Property | Value | |----------|-------| | Tool ID | Stylelint | | Codacy UUID | 1f03328a-086e-459e-bfa3-73e56f01020f | | Strategy | Library | | Languages | CSS, LESS, SASS | | Dependency | stylelint npm package (v16.x) | | File patterns | **/*.css, **/*.scss, **/*.less |

Updating patterns

# Re-fetch pattern metadata from the Codacy API
pnpm prefetch

# Commit the result
git add src/patterns.json

Pattern IDs follow the format Stylelint_block-no-empty, Stylelint_color-no-invalid-hex, etc.

Updating the Stylelint version

1. Update the stylelint version in package.json
2. Run pnpm install
3. Run pnpm prefetch to check for new/removed rules
4. Run pnpm test to verify compatibility
5. If the major version changes, create a new adapter package (stylelint-1/)

Development

pnpm build    # Build with tsup
pnpm test     # Run tests

Notes for maintainers

• Stylelint v16+ is pure ESM. The adapter uses dynamic import() at runtime to stay CJS-compatible with the tsup build.
• stylelint-config-standard is used as the default config when no local config or Codacy patterns are provided. Without it, Stylelint has zero rules enabled.
• Stylelint appends the rule name in parentheses to warning text (e.g. "Unexpected empty block (block-no-empty)"). The adapter strips this suffix for cleaner messages.
• checkAvailability dynamically imports Stylelint and runs a trivial lint to verify it loads.
• install is a no-op — the npm dependency handles installation.
