vue-eslint-parser

The ESLint custom parser for .vue files.

⤴️ Motivation

This parser allows us to lint the <template> of .vue files. We can make mistakes easily on <template> if we use complex directives and expressions in the template. This parser and the rules of eslint-plugin-vue would catch some of the mistakes.

💿 Installation

1npm install --save-dev eslint vue-eslint-parser

📖 Usage

Write parser option into your eslint.config.* file.

1import vueParser from "vue-eslint-parser"
2export default [
3    js.configs.recommended,
4    {
5        files: ["*.vue", "**/*.vue"],
6        languageOptions: {
7            parser: vueParser,
8        },
9    }
10]

🔧 Options

parserOptions has the same properties as what espree, the default parser of ESLint, is supporting. For example:

1import vueParser from "vue-eslint-parser"
2export default [
3    {
4        files: ["*.vue", "**/*.vue"],
5        languageOptions: {
6            parser: vueParser,
7            sourceType: "module",
8            ecmaVersion: "latest",
9            parserOptions: {
10                ecmaFeatures: {
11                    globalReturn: false,
12                    impliedStrict: false,
13                    jsx: false
14                }
15            }
16        },
17    }
18]

parserOptions.parser

You can use parserOptions.parser property to specify a custom parser to parse <script> tags. Other properties than parser would be given to the specified parser. For example:

1import vueParser from "vue-eslint-parser"
2import babelParser from "@babel/eslint-parser"
3export default [
4    {
5        files: ["*.vue", "**/*.vue"],
6        languageOptions: {
7            parser: vueParser,
8            parserOptions: {
9                parser: babelParser,
10            }
11        },
12    }
13]

1import vueParser from "vue-eslint-parser"
2import tsParser from "@typescript-eslint/parser"
3export default [
4    {
5        files: ["*.vue", "**/*.vue"],
6        languageOptions: {
7            parser: vueParser,
8            parserOptions: {
9                parser: tsParser,
10            }
11        },
12    }
13]

You can also specify an object and change the parser separately for <script lang="...">.

1import vueParser from "vue-eslint-parser"
2import tsParser from "@typescript-eslint/parser"
3export default [
4    {
5        files: ["*.vue", "**/*.vue"],
6        languageOptions: {
7            parser: vueParser,
8            parserOptions: {
9                "parser": {
10                    // Script parser for `<script>`
11                    "js": "espree",
12
13                    // Script parser for `<script lang="ts">`
14                    "ts": tsParser,
15
16                    // Script parser for vue directives (e.g. `v-if=` or `:attribute=`)
17                    // and vue interpolations (e.g. `{{variable}}`).
18                    // If not specified, the parser determined by `<script lang ="...">` is used.
19                    "<template>": "espree",
20                }
21            }
22        },
23    }
24]

If the parserOptions.parser is false, the vue-eslint-parser skips parsing <script> tags completely. This is useful for people who use the language ESLint community doesn't provide custom parser implementation.

parserOptions.vueFeatures

You can use parserOptions.vueFeatures property to specify how to parse related to Vue features. For example:

1import vueParser from "vue-eslint-parser"
2export default [
3    {
4        files: ["*.vue", "**/*.vue"],
5        languageOptions: {
6            parser: vueParser,
7            parserOptions: {
8                vueFeatures: {
9                    filter: true,
10                    interpolationAsNonHTML: true,
11                    styleCSSVariableInjection: true,
12                    customMacros: []
13                }
14            }
15        },
16    }
17]

parserOptions.vueFeatures.filter

You can use parserOptions.vueFeatures.filter property to specify whether to parse the Vue2 filter. If you specify false, the parser does not parse | as a filter. For example:

1{
2    "parserOptions": {
3        "vueFeatures": {
4            "filter": false
5        }
6    }
7}

If you specify false, it can be parsed in the same way as Vue 3. The following template parses as a bitwise operation.

1<template>
2  <div>{{ a | b }}</div>
3</template>

However, the following template that are valid in Vue 2 cannot be parsed.

1<template>
2  <div>{{ a | valid:filter }}</div>
3</template>

parserOptions.vueFeatures.interpolationAsNonHTML

You can use parserOptions.vueFeatures.interpolationAsNonHTML property to specify whether to parse the interpolation as HTML. If you specify true, the parser handles the interpolation as non-HTML (However, you can use HTML escaping in the interpolation). Default is true. For example:

1{
2    "parserOptions": {
3        "vueFeatures": {
4            "interpolationAsNonHTML": true
5        }
6    }
7}

If you specify true, it can be parsed in the same way as Vue 3. The following template can be parsed well.

1<template>
2  <div>{{a<b}}</div>
3</template>

But, it cannot be parsed with Vue 2.

parserOptions.vueFeatures.styleCSSVariableInjection

If set to true, to parse expressions in v-bind CSS functions inside <style> tags. v-bind() is parsed into the VExpressionContainer AST node and held in the VElement of <style>. Default is true.

See also to here.

parserOptions.vueFeatures.customMacros

Specifies an array of names of custom macros other than Vue standard macros.
For example, if you have a custom macro defineFoo() and you want it processed by the parser, specify ["defineFoo"].

Note that this option only works in <script setup>.

parserOptions.templateTokenizer

This is an experimental feature. It may be changed or deleted without notice in the minor version.

You can use parserOptions.templateTokenizer property to specify custom tokenizers to parse <template lang="..."> tags.

For example to enable parsing of pug templates:

1{
2    "parserOptions": {
3        "templateTokenizer": {
4             // template tokenizer for `<template lang="pug">`
5            "pug": "vue-eslint-parser-template-tokenizer-pug",
6        }
7    }
8}

This option is only intended for plugin developers. Be careful when using this option directly, as it may change behaviour of rules you might have enabled.
If you just want pug support, use eslint-plugin-vue-pug instead, which uses this option internally.

See implementing-custom-template-tokenizers.md for information on creating your own template tokenizer.

🎇 Usage for custom rules / plugins

• This parser provides parserServices to traverse <template>.
  • defineTemplateBodyVisitor(templateVisitor, scriptVisitor, options) ... returns ESLint visitor to traverse <template>.
  • getTemplateBodyTokenStore() ... returns ESLint TokenStore to get the tokens of <template>.
  • getDocumentFragment() ... returns the root VDocumentFragment.
  • defineCustomBlocksVisitor(context, customParser, rule, scriptVisitor) ... returns ESLint visitor that parses and traverses the contents of the custom block.
  • defineDocumentVisitor(documentVisitor, options) ... returns ESLint visitor to traverses the document.
• ast.md is <template> AST specification.
• mustache-interpolation-spacing.js is an example.
• Check your version of ESLint as the location of defineTemplateBodyVisitor was moved from context to context.sourceCode after major version 9.x

defineTemplateBodyVisitor(templateBodyVisitor, scriptVisitor, options)

Arguments

• templateBodyVisitor ... Event handlers for <template>.
• scriptVisitor ... Event handlers for <script> or scripts. (optional)
• options ... Options. (optional)
  • templateBodyTriggerSelector ... Script AST node selector that triggers the templateBodyVisitor. Default is "Program:exit". (optional)

1import { AST } from "vue-eslint-parser"
2
3export function create(context) {
4    return context.sourceCode.parserServices.defineTemplateBodyVisitor(
5        // Event handlers for <template>.
6        {
7            VElement(node: AST.VElement): void {
8                //...
9            }
10        },
11        // Event handlers for <script> or scripts. (optional)
12        {
13            Program(node: AST.ESLintProgram): void {
14                //...
15            }
16        },
17        // Options. (optional)
18        {
19            templateBodyTriggerSelector: "Program:exit"
20        }
21    )
22}

⚠️ Known Limitations

Some rules make warnings due to the outside of <script> tags. Please disable those rules for .vue files as necessary.

• eol-last
• linebreak-style
• max-len
• max-lines
• no-trailing-spaces
• unicode-bom
• Other rules which are using the source code text instead of AST might be confused as well.
