What is this?

This package provides a (lint) message format.

When should I use this?

In most cases, you can use file.message from VFile itself, but in some cases you might not have a file, and still want to emit warnings or errors, in which case this can be used directly.

Install

This package is ESM onlyesm. In Node.js (version 14.14+ and 16.0+), install with npm:
npm install vfile-message

In Deno with esm.shesmsh:
import {VFileMessage} from 'https://esm.sh/vfile-message@3'

In browsers with esm.shesmsh:
<script type="module">
  import {VFileMessage} from 'https://esm.sh/vfile-message@3?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {VFileMessage} from 'vfile-message'

const message = new VFileMessage(
  'Unexpected unknown word `braavo`, did you mean `bravo`?',
  {line: 1, column: 8},
  'spell:typo'
)

console.log(message)

Yields:
[1:8: Unexpected unknown word `braavo`, did you mean `bravo`?] {
  reason: 'Unexpected unknown word `braavo`, did you mean `bravo`?',
  line: 1,
  column: 8,
  source: 'spell',
  ruleId: 'typo',
  position: {start: {line: 1, column: 8}, end: {line: null, column: null}}
}

API

VFileMessage(reason[, place][, origin])

When an error is passed in as reason, the stack is copied.
Parameters
  • reason (string or Error)
— reason for message, uses the stack and message of the error if given
optional)
— place in file where the message occurred
  • origin (string, optional)
— place in code where the message originates (example:
`'my-package:my-rule'` or `'my-rule'`)
Extends
Errorerror.
Returns
Instance of VFileMessage.
Fields
  • reason (string)
— reason for message (you should use markdown)
  • fatal (boolean | null | undefined)
— state of problem; `true` marks associated file as no longer processable
(error); `false` necessitates a (potential) change (warning);
`null | undefined` for things that might not need changing (info)
  • line (number | null)
— starting line of error
  • column (number | null)
— starting column of error
— full unist position
  • source (string | null, example: 'my-package')
— namespace of message
  • ruleId (string | null, example: 'my-rule')
— category of message
  • stack (string | null)
— stack of message in code
  • file (string | null)
— path of a file (used throughout the `VFile` ecosystem)

Well-known

It’s OK to store custom data directly on the VFileMessage, some of those are handled by utilitiesutil. The following fields are documented and typed here.
Fields
  • actual (string | null)
— specify the source value that’s being reported, which is deemed incorrect
  • expected (Array<string> | null)
— suggest acceptable values that can be used instead of `actual`
  • url (string | null)
— link to docs for the message (this must be an absolute URL that can be
passed as `x` to `new URL(x)`)
  • note (string | null)
— long form description of the message (you should use markdown)

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports no additional types.
