# jinjalint

A prototype linter which checks the indentation and the correctness of
[Jinja][jinja]-like/HTML templates. Can [fix issues][django-commit].

It works with [Django’s templates][djangotemplates] too, it should
work with [Twig](https://twig.symfony.com/) and similar template languages.
It should work fine with any kind of HTML 4 and 5, however XHTML is not
supported.

This linter parses both HTML and Jinja tags and will report mismatched
tags and indentation errors:

```html+jinja


{% if something %}

{% endif %}
```

```html+jinja




```

```html+jinja
{% if something %}

not indented properly

{% endif %}
```

```html+jinja
{% if something %}{% endif %}

something


{% if not something %}
{% endif %}
```

## Usage

You need Python 3. Jinjalint doesn’t work with Python 2. Install it with
`pip install jinjalint` (or `pip3 install jinjalint` depending on how `pip` is
called on your system), then run it with:

```sh
$ jinjalint template-directory/
```

…or:

```sh
$ jinjalint some-file.html some-other-file.html
```

This is a work in progress. Feel free to contribute :upside_down_face:

## Usage with [pre-commit](https://pre-commit.com) git hooks framework

Add to your `.pre-commit-config.yaml`:

```yaml
- repo: https://github.com/motet-a/jinjalint
rev: '' # select a tag / sha to point at
hooks:
- id: jinjalint
```

Make sure to fill in the `rev` with a valid revision.

_Note_: by default this configuration will only match `.jinja` and `.jinja2`
files. To match by regex pattern instead, override `types` and `files` as
follows:

```yaml
- id: jinjalint
types: [file] # restore the default `types` matching
files: \.(html|sls)$
```

## Hacking

Jinjalint is powered by [Parsy][parsy]. Parsy is an extremely powerful
library and Jinjalint’s parser relies heavily on it. You have to read
Parsy’s documentation in order to understand what’s going on in
`parse.py`.
