Phare looks into your files and check for coding style errors.

Add these lines to your application’s Gemfile as development dependencies:

group :development do
  gem 'rubocop' # to check Ruby code
  gem 'scss-lint' # to check SCSS code

  gem 'phare'
end

$ bundle install

If you wish to check for JavaScript code style using JSHint and JSCS, you must specify them in your package.json file:

{
  "name": "foo",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "devDependencies": {
    "jshint": "latest",
    "jscs": "latest"
  }
}

$ npm install

Phare uses top-level commands in its checks (eg. $ rubocop and not $ bundle exec rubocop). You’ll need to run these commands in order to use the shims provided by either Bundler or NPM.

$ bundle install
$ bundle binstub rubocop scss-lint
$ export PATH="./bin:$PATH"

$ npm install
$ export PATH="./node_modules/.bin:$PATH"

Phare provides an executable named phare. You can just use it as is:

$ phare

One of the best ways to use Phare is by hooking it to your version control commit process. For example, with git:

$ bundle binstubs phare
$ ln -s "`pwd`/bin/phare" .git/hooks/pre-commit

That way, every time git commit is ran, phare will be executed and the commit will be aborted if there are some errors. However, you can skip this check altogether by specifying SKIP_PHARE=1 before your command.

$ git commit -m 'Add stuff'
$ SKIP_PHARE=1 git commit -m 'Add stuff and I don’t care about Phare'

Instead of using command-line arguments when running the phare command, you can create a .phare.yml file at the root of your project and hard-code options in that file.

skip:
  - scsslint
  - jshint
