## Linter

Deno ships with a built in code linter for JavaScript and TypeScript.

```shell
# lint all JS/TS files in the current directory and subdirectories
deno lint
# lint specific files
deno lint myfile1.ts myfile2.ts
# print result as JSON
deno lint --json
# read from stdin
cat file.ts | deno lint -
```

For more detail, run `deno lint --help`.

### Ignore directives

#### Files

To ignore whole file `// deno-lint-ignore-file` directive should placed at the
top of the file:

```ts
// deno-lint-ignore-file

function foo(): any {
  // ...
}
```

Ignore directive must be placed before first statement or declaration:

```ts
// Copyright 2020 the Deno authors. All rights reserved. MIT license.

/**
 * Some JS doc
 **/

// deno-lint-ignore-file

import { bar } from "./bar.js";

function foo(): any {
  // ...
}
```

You can also ignore certain diagnostics in the whole file

```ts
// deno-lint-ignore-file no-explicit-any no-empty

function foo(): any {
  // ...
}
```

#### Diagnostics

To ignore certain diagnostic `// deno-lint-ignore <codes...>` directive should
be placed before offending line. Specifying ignored rule name is required:

```ts
// deno-lint-ignore no-explicit-any
function foo(): any {
  // ...
}

// deno-lint-ignore no-explicit-any explicit-function-return-type
function bar(a: any) {
  // ...
}
```
