VSCode-AIP-linter

A linter plugin for Visual Studio Code that follows Google's AIP. This plugin will only work for development within alis.exchange.

The functionality is provided by the executable at: https://linter.aip.dev/

Notes

AIP spec contains rules for a lot of different platforms/languages, so users of the AIP Linter will want to have project specific linter config which might look like this:

[
  {
    "disabled_rules": [
      "all"
    ],
    "enabled_rules": [
      "0158"
    ],
    "included_paths": [
      "**/*"
    ]
  }
]

• The plugin requires that the api-linter be in the path.
  • The api-linter can be installed with the following command:

  go install github.com/googleapis/api-linter/cmd/api-linter@latest
  

• The plugin requires that there is either a .api-linter.json or .api-linter.yaml file in the project root.
• In the case where one does want the entire project to be linted with the same rules enabled, one can disable certain rules using file comments. The usage is as follows:

 // A file comment:
 // (-- api-linter: core::0140::lower-snake=disabled --)
 //
 // The above comment will disable the rule
 // `core::0140::lower-snake` for the entire file.

 syntax = "proto3";

 package google.api.linter.examples;

 message Example {
     string badFieldName = 1;
     string anotherBadFieldName = 2;
 }

• If the .api-linter file is not found in the project root, the default configurations are used and the proto files can only be configured by comments (not via the .api-linter file).
