What is this?

This package exposes comparators for vfile files and messages.

When should I use this?

You can use this right before a reporter is used to give humans a coherent report.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 16+), install with npm:

npm install vfile-sort

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {sort} from 'https://esm.sh/vfile-sort@4'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {sort} from 'https://esm.sh/vfile-sort@4?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {VFile} from 'vfile'
import {VFileMessage} from 'vfile-message'
import {compareFile, compareMessage} from 'vfile-sort'

console.log(
  [
    new VFileMessage('Error!', {place: {line: 3, column: 1}}),
    new VFileMessage('Another!', {place: {line: 2, column: 2}})
  ]
    .toSorted(compareMessage)
    .map(String)
) //=> ['2:2: Another!', '3:1: Error!']

console.log(
  [
    new VFile(new URL(import.meta.url)),
    new VFile(new URL('.', import.meta.url))
  ]
    .toSorted(compareFile)
    .map((d) => d.path)
) //=> ['/Users/tilde/Projects/oss/vfile-sort/', '/Users/tilde/Projects/oss/vfile-sort/example.js']

API

This package exports the identifiers compareFile and compareMessage. There is no default export.

compareFile(a, b)

Compare files (since: 4.0.0).

Parameters

• a (VFile) — file
• b (VFile) — other file

Returns

Order (number).

compareMessage(a, b)

Compare messages (since: 4.0.0).

Algorithm

It first sorts by line/column: earlier messages come first. When two messages occurr at the same place, sorts fatal error before warnings, before info messages. Finally, it sorts using localeCompare on source, ruleId, or finally reason.

Parameters

• a (VFile) — message
• b (VFile) — other message

Returns

Order (number).

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports no additional types.

Compatibility

Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js.

When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, vfile-sort@^4, compatible with Node.js 16.
