Violation Comments Lib

This is a library that helps working with comments from static code analysis.

It supports the same formats as Violations Lib.

It is used by these libraries:

• Violation Comments to GitHub Lib.
• Violation Comments to GitLab Lib.
• Violation Comments to Bitbucket Server Lib.
• Violation Comments to Bitbucket Cloud Lib

Template

It uses a template to render each violation comment. There is a default that can be replaced with a custom template.

The context available when the template is rendered is:

• violation that is an instance of Violation.
• changedFile that is an instance of ChangedFile.

The templating language is Handlebars and may look like:

**Reporter**: {{violation.reporter}}{{#violation.rule}}

**Rule**: {{violation.rule}}{{/violation.rule}}
**Severity**: {{violation.severity}}
**File**: {{changedFile.filename}} L{{violation.startLine}}{{#violation.source}}

**Source**: {{violation.source}}{{/violation.source}}

{{violation.message}}

You can avoid escaping (replaces new lines with 
) by using triple { like this:

{{{violation.message}}}

When using command line tools you may have problems with the ` (accent) character. You can do:

...
-comment-template "
message: 
\\\`\\\`\\\`
{{{violation.message}}}
\\\`\\\`\\\`
"

And it will surround the message with triple ```.

Helpers

The Handlebars library comes with helper methods, these are registered:

• ConditionalHelpers
• IfHelper
• StringHelpers
• UnlessHelper
