FAQPage Schema
How do I automate linting and type checking before a Git commit?

You can automate Git commit checks by setting up Husky pre-commit hooks with lint-staged. This runs Prettier, type checking, and tests on staged files automatically, ensuring code quality before commits are finalized.

What is the best way to run Prettier only on staged files?

Running Prettier on staged files is best handled by lint-staged. It integrates with Husky pre-commit hooks to execute automated linting exclusively on changed files, enforcing code style guidelines without touching the rest of your repository.

Do I need npm to set up Husky pre-commit hooks?

Yes, you need npm or an equivalent package manager to install Husky, lint-staged, and Prettier. These dependencies execute the automated testing and linting scripts during your Git commit preparation process.

Can I run automated tests as part of my Git commit process?

Yes, you can run automated tests during the Git commit process by configuring Husky hooks. The setup executes your testing scripts before commit, ensuring code functionality is verified automatically without manual intervention.

Why should I use pre-commit hooks instead of running checks manually?

Pre-commit hooks automate linting, type checking, and testing, preventing bad code from entering your repository. They enforce coding standards consistently without manual intervention, streamlining your development workflow.

Does Husky work with lint-staged for pre-commit preparation?

Yes, Husky works directly with lint-staged to prepare Git commits. Husky triggers the pre-commit hook, while lint-staged runs Prettier, type checking, and tests on staged files to enforce coding standards automatically.
