An ESLint plugin that sets rules to format your code and make it consistent.

This plugin defines rules for sorting various data, such as objects, imports, TypeScript types, enums, JSX props, Svelte attributes, etc. alphabetically, naturally, or by line length.

All rules are automatically fixable. It's safe!

## Why

Sorting imports and properties in software development offers numerous benefits:

- **Readability**: Finding declarations in a sorted, large list is a little faster. Remember that you read the code much more often than you write it.

- **Maintainability**: Sorting imports and properties is considered a good practice in software development, contributing to code quality and consistency across the codebase.

- **Code Review and Collaboration**: If you set rules that say you can only do things one way, no one will have to spend time thinking about how to do it.

- **Code Uniformity**: When all code looks exactly the same, it is very hard to see who wrote it, which makes achieving the lofty goal of _collective code ownership_ easier.

- **Aesthetics**: This not only provides functional benefits, but also gives the code an aesthetic appeal, visually pleasing and harmonious structure. Take your code to a beauty salon!

## Documentation

See [docs](https://perfectionist.dev).

## Installation

You'll first need to install [ESLint](https://eslint.org) v8.45.0 or greater:

```sh
npm install --save-dev eslint
```

Next, install `eslint-plugin-perfectionist`:

```sh
npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-perfectionist
```

## Usage

Add `eslint-plugin-perfectionist` to the plugins section of the ESLint configuration file and define the list of rules you will use.

### Flat Config ([`eslint.config.js`](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/configuration-files))

```js
import perfectionist from 'eslint-plugin-perfectionist'

export default [
  {
    plugins: {
      perfectionist,
    },
    rules: {
      'perfectionist/sort-imports': [
        'error',
        {
          type: 'natural',
          order: 'asc',
        },
      ],
    },
  },
]
```

### Legacy Config ([`.eslintrc.js`](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/configuration-files-deprecated))

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    'perfectionist',
  ],
  rules: {
    'perfectionist/sort-imports': [
      'error',
      {
        type: 'natural',
        order: 'asc',
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

## Configs

The easiest way to use `eslint-plugin-perfectionist` is to use ready-made configs. Config files use all the rules of the current plugin, but you can override them.

### Flat Config ([`eslint.config.js`](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/configuration-files))

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```js
import perfectionist from 'eslint-plugin-perfectionist'

export default [
  perfectionist.configs['recommended-natural'],
]
```

### Legacy Config ([`.eslintrc`](https://eslint.org/docs/latest/use/configure/configuration-files-deprecated))

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```js
module.exports = {
  extends: [
    'plugin:perfectionist/recommended-natural-legacy',
  ],
}
```

## FAQ

### Can I automatically fix problems in the editor?

Yes. To do this, you need to enable autofix in ESLint when you save the file in your editor. You may find instructions for your editor [here](https://perfectionist.dev/guide/integrations).

### Is it safe?

Overall, yes. We want to make sure that the work of the plugin does not negatively affect the behavior of the code. For example, the plugin takes into account spread operators in JSX and objects, comments to the code. Safety is our priority. If you encounter any problem, you can create an [issue](https://github.com/azat-io/eslint-plugin-perfectionist/issues/new/choose).

### Why not use Prettier?

I love Prettier. However, this is not its area of responsibility. Prettier is used for formatting, and ESLint for styling. For example, changing the order of imports can affect how the code works (console.log calls, fetch, style loading). Prettier should not change the AST. There is a cool article about this: ["The Blurry Line Between Formatting and Style"](https://blog.joshuakgoldberg.com/the-blurry-line-between-formatting-and-style) by **@joshuakgoldberg**.
