Creating a custom linter can be a great way to enforce coding standards and detect code smells. In this tutorial, we'll use Sylver, a source code query engine to build a custom Python linter in just a few lines of code. Sylver's main interface is a R...
Creating a custom linter can be a great way to enforce coding standards and detect code smells. In this tutorial, we'll use Sylver, a source code query engine to build a custom Javascript linter in just a few lines of code. Sylver's main interface is...
In Part1 and Part2 of the series, we learned how to build a language spec and how to use Sylver's query language to explore the parse tree of our JSON documents. While it can be insightful to explore a codebase interactively through source-code quer...
In Part 1, we used Sylver's meta language to build a specification for the JSON format. But an AST, by itself, is not of much use. In this next tutorial, we'll continue building our JSON configuration validator. To this end, we'll learn how to use Sy...
Sylver is a language agnostic platform for building custom source code analyzers (think eslint for every language). This might be a lot to unpack, so let us explore this tool by solving a real-world problem: our application's configuration is stored ...
