0.2.0

Large Breaking change This new version introduces large changes to how lints/fixes/assists are defined.
Long story short, besides the createPlugin method, the entire syntax changed.

See the readme, examples, and docs around how to use the new syntax.

The new syntax has multiple benefits:

• It is now possible to enable/disable lints inside the analysis_options.yaml as followed:

  # optional
  include: path/to/another/analysis_options.yaml
  
  custom_lint:
    rules:
      # enable a lint rule
      - my_lint_rule
      # A lint rule that is explicitly disabled
      - another_lint_rule: false
  

  Enabling/disabling lints is supported by default with the new syntax. Nothing to do~

• Performance improvement when using a large number of lints. The workload of analyzing files is now shared between lints.

• The new syntax makes the code simpler to maintain. Before, the PluginBase.getLints rapidly ended-up doing too much. Now, it is simple to split the implementation in multiple bits

0.1.2-dev

Do some internal refactoring as an attempt to fix #60

0.1.1

• Fix an issue where plugins were hot-reloaded when the file analyzed changed.
• Optimized analysis such that PluginBase.getLints() is theorically not reinvoked unless the file analyzed changed.

0.1.0

• Breaking: The plugin entrypoint has moved.
  Plugins no-longer should define a /bin/custom_lint.dart file. Instead they should define a /lib/<my_package_name>.dart

• Breaking: The plugin entrypoint is modified. Plugins no-longer define a "main", but instead define a createPlugin function:

  Before:

  // /bin/custom_lint.dart
  void main(List<String> args, SendPort sendPort) {
    startPlugin(sendPort, MyPlugin());
  }
  

  After:

  // /lib/<my_package_name.dart
  MyPlugin createPlugin() => MyPlugin();
  

• Add assist support. Inside your plugins, you can now override handleGetAssists:

  import 'package:analyzer_plugin/protocol/protocol_generated.dart'
    as analyzer_plugin;
  
  class MyPlugin extends PluginBase {
    // ...
  
    Future<analyzer_plugin.EditGetAssistsResult> handleGetAssists(
      ResolvedUnitResult resolvedUnitResult, {
      required int offset,
      required int length,
    }) async {
        // TODO return some assists for the given offset
    }
  }
  

0.0.16

Fix expect_lint not working if the file doesn't contain any lint.

0.0.15

• Custom_lint now has a built-in mechanism for testing lints. Simply write a file that should contain lints for your plugin. Then, using a syntax similar to // ignore, write a // expect_lint: code in the line before your lint:

  // expect_lint: riverpod_final_provider
  var provider = Provider(...);
  

  When doing this, there are two possible cases:

  • The line after the expect_lint correctly contains the expected lint.
    In that case, the lint is ignored (similarly to if we used // ignore)
  • The next line does not contain the lint. In that case, the expect_lint comment will have an error.

  This allows testing your plugins by simply running custom_lint on your test/example folder. Then, if any expected lint is missing, the command will fail. But if your plugin correctly emits the lint, the command will succeed.
