This is a tool to check if your files consider your .editorconfig rules. Most tools—like linters, for example—only test one filetype and need an extra configuration. This tool only needs your .editorconfig to check all files.

This is only a wrapper for the core editorconfig-checker. You should have a look at this repository to know how this tool can be used and what possibilities/caveats are there. This version can be used in the same way as the core as every argument is simply passed down to it.

Installation via npm/yarn is recommended:

npm install --save-dev editorconfig-checker
yarn add --dev editorconfig-checker

Otherwise you could clone the repository and execute the script manually.

git clone https://github.com/editorconfig-checker/editorconfig-checker.javascript
cd editorconfig-checker.javascript
npm install
npm run build
npm test
npm start

There is an alias from editorconfig-checker to ec so you can exchange every occurrence of editorconfig-checker with ec.

If you installed it via npm you have a binary in your node_modules/.bin folder called editorconfig-checker. Then you could create a script in your package.json like this:

"scripts": {
  "lint:editorconfig": "editorconfig-checker"
}
