Adding a Pre-Commit Hook
A common use case for Husky is to run linting or testing scripts before allowing a commit. Here’s how you can set up a pre-commit hook to run ESLint:
Step 1: Install ESLint** if it’s not already installed:
npm install eslint --save-dev
Step 2: Initialize Husky and add the pre-commit hook:
npx husky install
npx husky add .husky/pre-commit "npx eslint ."
This creates a `.husky/pre-commit` file with the following content:
#!/bin/sh
. "$(dirname "$0")/_/husky.sh"
npx eslint .
NPM Husky
In JavaScript, maintaining code quality and consistency across a team can be challenging. Using tools that automate code checks and enforcement can significantly enhance the development workflow. One such tool is Husky, a popular npm package that allows you to use Git hooks to automate tasks such as linting, testing, and formatting code.
In this article, we will learn more about Husky, how it works, and how you can integrate it into your JavaScript projects.
