Changelog

This project follows Semantic Versioning. Due to the nature of Biome as a toolchain, it can be unclear what changes are considered major, minor, or patch. Read our guidelines to categorize a change.

New entries must be placed in a section entitled Unreleased. Read our guidelines for writing a good changelog entry.

  • Improved the message for unused suppression comments. Contributed by @dyc3

  • Fix #4228, where the rule a11y/noInteractiveElementToNoninteractiveRole incorrectlly reports a role for non interactive elements. Contributed by @eryue0220

  • Catch suspicious semicolon in react fragment in noSuspiciousSemicolonInJsx. Contributed by @vasucp1207

  • The --summary reporter now reports parsing diagnostics too. Contributed by @ematipico

  • Improved performance of GritQL queries by roughly 25-30%. Contributed by @arendjr

  • Fix an issue where the JSON schema marked lint rules options as mandatory. Contributed by @ematipico
  • Fix #4121. Respect line width when printing multiline strings. Contributed by @ah-yu
  • Biome no longer crashes when it encounters a string that contain a multibyte character (#4181).

    This fixes a regression introduced in Biome 1.9.3 The regression affected the following linter rules:

    • nursery/useSortedClasses
    • nursery/useTrimStartEnd
    • style/useTemplate
    • suspicious/noMisleadingCharacterClass

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Fix #4190, where the rule noMissingVarFunction wrongly reported a variable as missing when used inside a var() function that was a newline. Contributed by @ematipico

  • Fix #4041. Now the rule useSortedClasses won’t be triggered if className is composed only by inlined variables. Contributed by @ematipico

  • useImportType and useExportType now report useless inline type qualifiers (#4178).

    The following fix is now proposed:

    import type { type A, B } from "";
    import type { A, B } from "";
    export type { type C, D };
    export type { C, D };

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useExportType now reports ungrouped export from.

    The following fix is now proposed:

    export { type A, type B } from "";
    export type { A, B } from "";

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noVoidTypeReturn now accepts void expressions in return position (#4173).

    The following code is now accepted:

    function f(): void {
    return void 0;
    }

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noUselessFragments now correctly handles fragments containing HTML escapes (e.g.  ) inside expression escapes { ... } (#4059).

    The following code is no longer reported:

    function Component() {
    return (
    <div key={index}>{line || <>&nbsp;</>}</div>
    )
    }

    Contributed by @fireairforce

  • noUnusedFunctionParameters and noUnusedVariables no longer reports a parameter as unused when another parameter has a constructor type with the same parameter name (#4227).

    In the following code, the name parameter is no longer reported as unused.

    export class Foo {
    bar(name: string, _class: new (name: string) => any) {
    return name
    }
    }

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noUndeclaredDependencies now accepts dependency names with dots. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useFilenamingConvention now correctly handles renamed exports (#4254).

    The rule allows the filename to be named as one of the exports of the module. For instance, the file containing the following export can be named Button.

    class Button {}
    export { Button }

    The rule now correctly handles the renaming of an export. For example, the file containing the following export can only be named Button. Previously the rule expected the file to be named A.

    class A {}
    export { A as Button }

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useConsistentMemberAccessibility now ignore private class members such as #property (#4276). Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noUnknownFunction correctly handles calc-size function (#4212).

The following code calc-size is no longer reported as unknown:

.a { height: calc-size(0px); }

Contributed by @fireairforce

Contributed by @sepruko

  • noDuplicateCustomProperties now correctly handles custom properties and ignores non-custom properties. Previously, the rule incorrectly reported duplicates for all properties, including non-custom ones. Contributed by @togami2864
  • Add support for parsing typescript’s resolution-mode in Import Types(#2115)

    export type Fs = typeof import('fs', { with: { 'resolution-mode': 'import' } });
    export type TypeFromRequire =
    import("pkg", { with: { "resolution-mode": "require" } }).TypeFromRequire;
    export type TypeFromImport =
    import("pkg", { with: { "resolution-mode": "import" } }).TypeFromImport;

    Contributed by @fireairforce

  • The CSS parser now accepts more emoji in identifiers (#3627).

    Browsers accept more emoji than the standard allows. Biome now accepts these additional emoji.

    The following code is now correctly parsed:

    p {
    --✨-color: red;
    color: var(--✨-color);
    }

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • GritQL queries that match functions or methods will now match async functions or methods as well.

    If this is not what you want, you can capture the async keyword (or its absence) in a metavariable and assert its emptiness:

    $async function foo() {} where $async <: .

    Contributed by @arendjr

  • Fix #4077: Grit queries no longer need to match the statement’s trailing semicolon. Contributed by @arendjr

  • Fix #4102. Now the CLI command lint doesn’t exit with an error code when using --write/--fix. Contributed by @ematipico

  • Fix #4125, where noLabelWithoutControl options where incorrectly marked as mandatory. Contributed by @ematipico
  • Fix a case where CSS files weren’t correctly linted using the default configuration. Contributed by @ematipico

    .value {
    background: url(
    whitespace-around-string
    );
    background: url(whitespace-around-string);
    }

    Contributed by @ematipico

  • Fixed #4076, where a media query wasn’t correctly formatted:

    .class {
    @media (1024px <= width <=1280px) {
    @media (1024px <= width <= 1280px) {
    color: red;
    }
    }

    Contributed by @blaze-d83

  • Fix #3881, by updating the APIs to use the latest WASM changes. Contributed by @ematipico
  • Add an option reportUnnecessaryDependencies to useExhaustiveDependencies.

    Defaults to true. When set to false, errors will be suppressed for React hooks that declare dependencies but do not use them.

    Contributed by @simon-paris

  • Add an option reportMissingDependenciesArray to useExhaustiveDependencies. Contributed by @simon-paris

  • noControlCharactersInRegex no longer panics on regexes with incomplete escape sequences. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noMisleadingCharacterClass no longer reports issues outside of character classes.

    The following code is no longer reported:

    /[a-z]👍/;

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noUndeclaredDependencies no longer reports Node.js builtin modules as undeclared dependencies.

    The rule no longer reports the following code:

    import * as fs from "fs";

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noUnusedVariables no longer panics when suggesting the renaming of a variable at the start of a file (#4114). Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noUselessEscapeInRegex no longer panics on regexes that start with an empty character class. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noUselessStringConcat no longer panics when it encounters malformed code. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noUnusedFunctionParameters no longer reports unused parameters inside an object pattern with a rest parameter.

    In the following code, the rule no longer reports a as unused.

    function f({ a, ...rest }) {
    return rest;
    }

    This matches the behavior of noUnusedVariables.

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useButtonType no longer reports dynamically created button with a valid type (#4072).

    The following code is no longer reported:

    React.createElement("button", { type: "button" }, "foo")

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useSemanticElements now ignores elements with the img role (#3994).

    MDN recommends using role="img" for grouping images or creating an image from other elements. The following code is no longer reported:

    <div role="img" aria-label="That cat is so cute">
    <p>&#x1F408; &#x1F602;</p>
    </div>

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useSemanticElements now ignores alert and alertdialog roles (#3858). Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noUselessFragments don’t create invaild JSX code when Fragments children contains JSX Expression and in a LogicalExpression. Contributed by @fireairforce

  • Forbid undefined as type name for typescript parser. Contributed by @fireairforce
  • Fix #3917, where the fixed files were incorrectly computed. Contributed by @ematipico
  • Fixed an issue that caused GritQL contains queries to report false positives when the matched node appeared inside a sibling node. Contributed by @arendjr
  • Fix #3923. Now the .editorconfig is correctly parsed by the LSP, and the options are correctly applied to files when formatting is triggered. Plus, the Biome LSP now watches for any change to the .editorconfig, and updates the formatting settings.

  • Reduced the number of log files generated by the LSP server. Now the maximum number of logs saved on disk is seven. Contributed by @ematipico

  • Fix the code actions capabilities available in the LSP Biome server. Before, the LSP was using the default capabilities, which resulted in pulling code actions even when they were disabled by the editor.

    This means that the code actions are pulled by the client only when the editor enables quickfix.biome, source.organizeImports.biome and source.fixAll.biome.

    Now, if you enable organizeImports.enabled: true in the biome.json, and then you configure your editor with the following code action source.organizeImports.biome: false, the editor won’t sort the imports.

    Contributed by @ematipico

  • noLabelWithoutControl now accept JSX expression as label value (#3875). Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useFilenamingConvention no longer suggests names with a disallowed case (#3952). Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useFilenamingConvention now recognizes file names starting with ASCII digits as lowercase (#3952).

    Thus, 2024-09-17-filename, 2024_09_17_filename and 20240917FileName are in kebab-case, snake_case, and camelCase respectively.

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useFilenamingConvention now applies the configured formats to the file extensions (#3650). Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useStrictMode now reports Script files with some directives, but without the use strict directive. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • The CSS parser now accepts the characters U+FFDCF and U+FFFD in identifiers. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useEditorConfig now loads the editorconfig when running biome ci #3864. Contributed by @dyc3
  • Revert #3731 to fix broken quick fixes and code actions. Contributed by @nhedger
  • noUndeclaredDependencies now ignores @/ imports and recognizes type imports from Definitely Typed and bun imports. Contributed by @Conaclos
  • Add --graphql-linter-enabled option, to control whether the linter should be enabled or not for GraphQL files. Contributed by @ematipico

  • New EXPERIMENTAL search command. The search command allows you to search a Biome project using GritQL syntax.

    GritQL is a powerful language that lets you do structural searches on your codebase. This means that trivia such as whitespace or even the type of strings quotes used will be ignored in your search query. It also has many features for querying the structure of your code, making it much more elegant for searching code than regular expressions.

    While we believe this command may already be useful to users in some situations (especially when integrated in the IDE extensions!), we also had an ulterior motive for adding this command: We intend to utilize GritQL for our plugin efforts, and by allowing our users to try it out in a first iteration, we hope to gain insight in the type of queries you want to do, as well as the bugs we need to focus on.

    For now, the search command is explicitly marked as EXPERIMENTAL, since many bugs remain. Keep this in mind when you try it out, and please let us know your issues!

    Note: GritQL escapes code snippets using backticks, but most shells interpret backticks as command invocations. To avoid this, it’s best to put single quotes around your Grit queries.

    Terminal window
    biome search '`console.log($message)`' # find all `console.log` invocations

    Contributed by @arendjr and @BackupMiles

  • The option --max-diagnostics now accept a none value, which lifts the limit of diagnostics shown. Contributed by @ematipico

    • Add a new reporter --reporter=gitlab, that emits diagnostics for using the GitLab Code Quality report.

      [
      {
      "description": "Use === instead of ==. == is only allowed when comparing against `null`",

      ]

      Contributed by @NiclasvanEyk

  • Add new options to the lsp-proxy and start commands:

    • --log-path: a directory where to store the daemon logs. The commands also accepts the environment variable BIOME_LOG_PATH.
    • --log-prefix-name: a prefix that’s added to the file name of the logs. It defaults to server.log. The commands also accepts the environment variable BIOME_LOG_PREFIX_NAME.

    @Contributed by @ematipico

  • When a --reporter is provided, and it’s different from the default one, the value provided by via --max-diagnostics is ignored and the limit is lifted. Contributed by @ematipico

  • biome init now generates a new config file with more options set. This change intends to improve discoverability of the options and to set the more commonly used options to their default values. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • The --verbose flag now reports the list of files that were evaluated, and the list of files that were fixed. The evaluated files are the those files that can be handled by Biome, files that are ignored, don’t have an extension or have an extension that Biome can’t evaluate are excluded by this list. The fixed files are those files that were handled by Biome and changed. Files that stays the same after the process are excluded from this list.

  • Allow passing nursery to the --only and --skip filters.

    The --only option allows you to run a given rule or rule group. The --skip option allows you to skip the execution of a given group or a given rule.

    Previously, it was not possible to pass nursery. This restriction is now removed, as it may make sense to skip the nursery rules that a project has enabled.

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • The CLI now returns an error code when calling a command in stdin mode, and the contents of the files aren’t fixed. For example, the following example will result in an error code of 1 because the lint command triggers some lint rules:

    Terminal window
    echo "let x = 1" | biome lint --stdin-file-path=stdin.js

    Contributed by @ematipico

  • biome lint --write now takes --only and --skip into account (#3470). Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Fix #3368, now the reporter github tracks the diagnostics that belong to formatting and organize imports. Contributed by @ematipico

  • Fix #3545, display a warning, ‘Avoid using unnecessary Fragment,’ when a Fragment contains only one child element that is placed on a new line. Contributed by @satojin219

  • Migrating from Prettier or ESLint no longer overwrite the overrides field from the configuration (#3544). Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Fix JSX expressions for noAriaHiddenOnFocusable (#3708). Contributed by @anthonyshew

  • Fix edge case for <canvas> elements that use role="img" (#3728). Contributed by @anthonyshew

  • Fix #3633, where diagnostics where incorrectly printed if the code has errors. Contributed by @ematipico

  • Allow aria-label on heading to prevent useHeadingContent diagnostic (#3767). Contributed by @anthonyshew

  • Fix edge case #3791 for rule noFocusedTests being used with non-string-like expressions (#3793). Contributed by @h-a-n-a

  • Fix optional ARIA properties for role="separator" in useAriaPropsForRole (#3856). Contributed by @anthonyshew

  • Add support for loading configuration from .editorconfig files (#1724).

    Configuration supplied in .editorconfig will be overridden by the configuration in biome.json. Support is disabled by default and can be enabled by adding the following to your formatter configuration in biome.json:

    {
    "formatter": {
    "useEditorconfig": true
    }
    }

    Contributed by @dyc3

  • overrides from an extended configuration is now merged with the overrides of the extension.

    Given the following shared configuration biome.shared.json:

    {
    "overrides": [
    {
    "include": ["**/*.json"],
    // ...
    }
    ]
    }

    and the following configuration:

    {
    "extends": ["./biome.shared.json"],
    "overrides": [
    {
    "include": ["**/*.ts"],
    // ...
    }
    ]
    }

    Previously, the overrides from biome.shared.json was overwritten. It is now merged and results in the following configuration:

    {
    "extends": ["./biome.shared.json"],
    "overrides": [
    {
    "include": ["**/*.json"],
    // ...
    },
    {
    "include": ["**/*.ts"],
    // ...
    }
    ]
    }

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Fix #3577, where the update of the configuration file was resulting in the creation of a new internal project. Contributed by @ematipico

  • Fix #3696, where biome.jsonc was incorrectly parsed with incorrect options. Contributed by @ematipico

  • The CSS formatter is enabled by default. Which means that you don’t need to opt-in anymore using the configuration file biome.json:

    {
    "css": {
    "formatter": {
    "enabled": true
    }
    }
    }

    Contributed by @ematipico

  • Add parentheses for nullcoalescing in ternaries.

    This change aligns on Prettier 3.3.3. This adds clarity to operator precedence.

    foo ? bar ?? foo : baz;
    foo ? (bar ?? foo) : baz;

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Keep the parentheses around infer ... extends declarations in type unions and type intersections (#3419). Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Keep parentheses around a yield expression inside a type assertion.

    Previously, Biome removed parentheses around some expressions that require them inside a type assertion. For example, in the following code, Biome now preserves the parentheses.

    function* f() {
    return <T>(yield 0);
    }

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Remove parentheses around expressions that don’t need them inside a decorator.

    Biome now matches Prettier in the following cases:

    class {
    @(decorator)
    @decorator
    method() {}
    },
    class {
    @(decorator())
    @decorator()
    method() {}
    },
    class {
    @(decorator?.())
    method() {}
    },

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Keep parentheses around objects preceded with a @satisfies comment.

    In the following example, parentheses are no longer removed.

    export const PROPS = /** @satisfies {Record<string, string>} */ ({
    prop: 0,
    });

    Contributed by @Conaclos

New rules are incubated in the nursery group. Once stable, we promote them to a stable group.

The following CSS rules are promoted:

The following JavaScript rules are promoted:

  • Rename nursery/noUnknownSelectorPseudoElement to nursery/noUnknownPseudoElement. Contributed by @togami2864

  • The CSS linter is now enabled by default. Which means that you don’t need to opt-in anymore using the configuration file biome.json:

    {
    "css": {
    "linter": {
    "enabled": true
    }
    }
    }

    Contributed by @ematipico

  • The JavaScript linter recognizes TypeScript 5.5 and 5.6 globals. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noBlankTarget now supports an array of allowed domains.

    The following configuration allows example.com and example.org as blank targets.

    "linter": {
    "rules": {
    "a11y": {
    "noBlankTarget": {
    "level": "error",
    "options": {
    "allowDomains": ["example.com", "example.org"]
    }
    }
    }
    }
    }

    Contributed by @Jayllyz

  • noConsole now accepts an option that specifies some allowed calls on console. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Add an ignoreNull option for noDoubleEquals.

    By default the rule allows loose comparisons against null. The option ignoreNull can be set to false for reporting loose comparison against null.

    Contributed by @peaBerberian.

  • noDuplicateObjectKeys now works for JSON and JSONC files. Contributed by @ematipico

  • noInvalidUseBeforeDeclaration now reports direct use of an enum member before its declaration.

    In the following code, A is reported as use before its declaration.

    enum E {
    B = A << 1,
    A = 1,
    }

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noNodejsModules now ignores imports of a package which has the same name as a Node.js module. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noNodejsModules now ignores type-only imports (#1674).

    The rule no longer reports type-only imports such as:

    import type assert from "assert";
    import type * as assert2 from "assert";

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noRedundantUseStrict no longer reports "use strict" directives when the package.json marks explicitly the file as a script using the field "type": "commonjs". Contributed by @ematipico

  • noStaticOnlyClass no longer reports a class that extends another class (#3612). Contributed by @errmayank

  • noUndeclaredVariables no longer reports a direct reference to an enum member (#2974).

    In the following code, the A reference is no longer reported as an undeclared variable.

    enum E {
    A = 1,
    B = A << 1,
    }

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noUndeclaredVariables recognized Svelte 5 runes in Svelte components and svelte files.

    Svelte 5 introduced runes. The rule now recognizes Svelte 5 runes in files ending with the .svelte, .svelte.js or .svelte.ts extensions.

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noUnusedVariables now checks TypeScript declaration files.

    This allows to report a type that is unused because it isn’t exported. Global declarations files (declarations files without exports and imports) are still ignored.

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useFilenamingConvention now supports unicase letters.

    unicase letters have a single case: they are neither uppercase nor lowercase. Biome now accepts filenames in unicase. For example, the filename 안녕하세요 is now accepted.

    We still reject a name that mixes unicase characters with lowercase or uppercase characters. For example, the filename A안녕하세요 is rejected.

    This change also fixes #3353. Filenames consisting only of numbers are now accepted.

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useFilenamingConvention now supports Next.js/Nuxt/Astro dynamic routes (#3465).

    Next.js, SolidStart, Nuxt, and Astro support dynamic routes such as [...slug].js and [[...slug]].js.

    Biome now recognizes this syntax. slug must contain only alphanumeric characters.

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useExportType no longer reports empty export (#3535).

    An empty export {} allows you to force TypeScript to consider a file with no imports and exports as an EcmaScript module. While export type {} is valid, it is more common to use export {}. Users may find it confusing that the linter asks them to convert it to export type {}. Also, a bundler should be able to remove export {} as well as export type {}. So it is not so useful to report export {}.

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noControlCharactersInRegex now corretcly handle \u escapes in unicode-aware regexes.

    Previously, the rule didn’t consider regex with the v flags as unicode-aware regexes. Moreover, \uhhhh was not handled in unicode-aware regexes.

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noControlCharactersInRegex now reports control characters and escape sequence of control characters in string regexes. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noExcessiveNestedTestSuites: fix an edge case where the rule would alert on heavily nested zod schemas. Contributed by @dyc3

  • noExtraNonNullAssertion no longer reports a single non-null assertion enclosed in parentheses (#3352). Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noMultipleSpacesInRegularExpressionLiterals now correctly provides a code fix when Unicode characters are used. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noRedeclare no longer report redeclartions for lexically scoped function declarations #3664.

    In JavaScript strict mode, function declarations are lexically scoped: they cannot be accessed outside the block where they are declared.

    In non-strict mode, function declarations are hoisted to the top of the enclosing function or global scope.

    Previously Biome always hoisted function declarations. It now takes into account whether the code is in strict or non strict mode.

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noUndeclaredDependencies now ignores self package imports.

    Given teh following package.json:

    {
    "name": "my-package",
    "main": "index.js"
    }

    The following import is no longer reported by the rule:

    import * as mod from "my-package";

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Fix [#3149] crashes that occurred when applying the noUselessFragments unsafe fixes in certain scenarios. Contributed by @unvalley

  • noRedeclare no longer reports a variable named as the function expression where it is declared. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useAdjacentOverloadSignatures no longer reports a #private class member and a public class member that share the same name (#3309).

    The following code is no longer reported:

    class C {
    #f() {}
    g() {}
    f() {}
    }

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useAltText n olonger requests alt text for elements hidden from assistive technologies (#3316). Contributed by @robintown

  • useNamingConvention now accepts applying custom convention on abstract classes. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useNamingConvention no longer suggests an empty fix when a name doesn’t match strict Pascal case (#3561).

    Previously the following code led useNamingConvention to suggest an empty fix. The rule no longer provides a fix for this case.

    type AAb = any

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useNamingConvention no longer provides fixes for global TypeScript declaration files.

    Global TypeScript declaration files have no epxorts and no imports. All the declared types are available in all files of the project. Thus, it is not safe to propose renaming only in the declaration file.

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useSortedClasses lint error with Template literals (#3394). Contributed by @hangaoke1

  • The JSON parser now allows comments in turbo.json and jest.config.json. Contributed by @Netail and @Conaclos

  • The JSON parser now allows comments in files with the .json extension under the .vscode and .zed directories.

    Biome recognizes are well known JSON files that allows comments and/or trailing commas. Previously, Biome did not recognize JSON files under the .vscode and the .zed directories as JSON files that allow comments. You had to configure Biome to recognize them:

    {
    "overrides": [
    {
    "include": ["**/.vscode/*.json", "**/.zed/*.json"],
    "json": { "parser": { "allowComments": true } }
    }
    ]
    }

    This override is no longer needed! Note that JSON files under the .vscode and the .zed directories don’t accept trailing commas.

  • Enhance tailwind sorting lint rule #1274 with variant support.

    Every preconfigured variant is assigned a weight that concurs on establishing the output sorting order. Since nesting variants on the same utility class is possible, the resulting weight is the Bitwise XOR of all the variants weight for that class. Dynamic variants (e.g. has-[.custom-class], group-[:checked]) are also supported and they take the weight of their base variant name the custom value attached (e.g. has-[.custom-class] takes has weight). Arbitrary variants (e.g. [&nth-child(2)]) don’t have a weight assigned and they are placed after every known variant. Classes with the same amount of arbitrary variants follow lexicographical order. The class that has the highest number of nested arbitrary variants is placed last. Screen variants (e.g. sm:, max-md:, min-lg:) are not supported yet.

  • Don’t conceal previous overrides (#3176).

    Previously, each override inherited the unset configuration of the base configuration. This means that setting a configuration in an override can be concealed by a subsequent override that inherits of the value from the base configuration.

    For example, in the next example, noDebugger was disabled for the index.js file.

    {
    "linter": {
    "rules": {
    "suspicious": { "noDebugger": "off" }
    }
    },
    "overrides": [

    "rules": {
    "suspicious": { "noDoubleEquals": "off" }

    const children = useMemo(() => <MyRecursiveComponent />, []);

  • New clean command. Use this new command to clean after the biome-logs directory, and remove all the log files.

    Terminal window
    biome clean
  • Add two new options --only and --skip to the command biome lint (#58).

    The --only option allows you to run a given rule or rule group, For example, the following command runs only the style/useNamingConvention and style/noInferrableTypes rules. If the rule is disabled in the configuration, then its severity level is set to error for a recommended rule or warn otherwise.

    Terminal window
    biome lint --only=style/useNamingConvention --only=style/noInferrableTypes

    Passing a group does not change the severity level of the rules in the group. All the disabled rules in the group will remain disabled. To ensure that the group is run, the recommended field of the group is enabled. The nursery group cannot be passed, as no rules are enabled by default in the nursery group.

    The --skip option allows you to skip the execution of a given group or a given rule. For example, the following command skips the style group and the suspicious/noExplicitAny rule.

    Terminal window
    biome lint --skip=style --skip=suspicious/noExplicitAny

    You can also use --only and --skip together. --skip overrides --only. The following command executes only the rules from the style group, but the style/useNamingConvention rule.

    Terminal window
    biome lint --only=style --skip=style/useNamingConvention

    These options are compatible with other options such as --write (previously --apply), and --reporter.

  • Add new command biome clean. Use this command to purge all the logs emitted by the Biome daemon.

  • Add support for formatting and linting CSS files from the CLI. These operations are opt-in for the time being.

    If you don’t have a configuration file, you can enable these features with --css-formatter-enabled and --css-linter-enabled:

    Terminal window
    biome <lint|check> --<write|fix> [--unsafe]
    biome format --<write|fix>
    biome migrate --<write|fix>

    The biome <lint|check> --<write|fix> has the same behavior as biome <lint|check> --apply. The biome <lint|check> --<write|fix> --unsafe has the same behavior as biome <lint|check> --apply-unsafe. The biome format --fix has the same behavior as biome format --write. The biome migrate --fix has the same behavior as biome migrate --write.

    This change allows these commands to write modifications in the same options. With this change, the --apply and --apply-unsafe options are deprecated.

  • biome migrate eslint now tries to convert ESLint ignore patterns into Biome ignore patterns.

    ESLint uses gitignore patterns. Biome now tries to convert these patterns into Biome ignore patterns.

    For example, the gitignore pattern /src is a relative path to the file in which it appears. Biome now recognizes this and translates this pattern to ./src.

    • safe: the rule emits safe code action.
    • unsafe: the rule emits unsafe code action.

    import "z"
    import { D } from "d";
    import { C } from "c";
    import { D } from "d";
    import "y"
    import "x"
    import { B } from "b";
    import { A } from "a";
    import { B } from "b";
    import "w"

  • Complete the well-known file lists for JSON-like files. Trailing commas are allowed in .jsonc files by default. Some well-known files like tsconfig.json and .babelrc don’t use the .jsonc extension but still allow comments and trailing commas. While others, such as .eslintrc.json, only allow comments. Biome is able to identify these files and adjusts the json.parser.allowTrailingCommas option accordingly to ensure they are correctly parsed. Contributed by @Sec-ant

  • Fix dedent logic inconsistent with prettier where the indent-style is space and the indent-width is not 2. Contributed by @mdm317

  • Add a command to migrate from ESLint

    biome migrate eslint allows you to migrate an ESLint configuration to Biome. The command supports legacy ESLint configurations and new flat ESLint configurations. Legacy ESLint configurations using the YAML format are not supported.

    When loading a legacy ESLint configuration, Biome resolves the extends field. It resolves both shared configurations and plugin presets! To do this, it invokes Node.js.

    Biome relies on the metadata of its rules to determine the equivalent rule of an ESLint rule. A Biome rule is either inspired or roughly identical to an ESLint rules. By default, inspired and nursery rules are excluded from the migration. You can use the CLI flags --include-inspired and --include-nursery to migrate them as well.

    Note that this is a best-effort approach. You are not guaranteed to get the same behavior as ESLint.

    Given the following ESLint configuration:

    {
    "ignore_patterns": ["**/*.test.js"],
    "globals": { "var2": "readonly" },
    "rules": {
    "eqeqeq": "error"
    },
    "overrides": [{
    "files": ["lib/*.js"],
    "rules": {
    "default-param-last": "off"
    }
    }]
    }

    biome migrate eslint --write changes the Biome configuration as follows:

    {
    "linter": {
    "rules": {
    "recommended": false,
    "suspicious": {
    "noDoubleEquals": "error"
    }
    }
    },
    "javascript": { "globals": ["var2"] },
    "overrides": [{
    "include": ["lib/*.js"],
    "linter": {
    "rules": {
    "style": {
    "useDefaultParameterLast": "off"
    }
    }
    }
    }]
    }

    Also, if the working directory contains .eslintignore, then Biome migrates the glob patterns. Nested .eslintignore in subdirectories and negated glob patterns are not supported.

    If you find any issue, please don’t hesitate to report them.

  • Added two new options to customise the emitted output of the CLI: --reporter=json and --reporter=json-pretty. With --reporter=json, the diagnostics and the summary will be printed in the terminal in JSON format. With --reporter=json-pretty, you can print the same information, but formatted using the same options of your configuration.

    NOTE: the shape of the JSON is considered experimental, and the shape of the JSON might change in the future.

    Example of output when running `biome format` command ```json { "summary": { "changed": 0, "unchanged": 1, "errors": 1, "warnings": 0, "skipped": 0, "suggestedFixesSkipped": 0, "diagnosticsNotPrinted": 0 }, "diagnostics": [ { "category": "format", "severity": "error", "description": "Formatter would have printed the following content:", "message": [ { "elements": [], "content": "Formatter would have printed the following content:" } ], "advices": { "advices": [ { "diff": { "dictionary": " statement();\n", "ops": [ { "diffOp": { "delete": { "range": [0, 2] } } }, { "diffOp": { "equal": { "range": [2, 12] } } }, { "diffOp": { "delete": { "range": [0, 2] } } }, { "diffOp": { "equal": { "range": [12, 13] } } }, { "diffOp": { "delete": { "range": [0, 2] } } }, { "diffOp": { "insert": { "range": [13, 15] } } } ] } } ] }, "verboseAdvices": { "advices": [] }, "location": { "path": { "file": "format.js" }, "span": null, "sourceCode": null }, "tags": [], "source": null } ], "command": "format" } ```
  • Added new --staged flag to the check, format and lint subcommands.

    This new option allows users to apply the command only to the files that are staged (the ones that will be committed), which can be very useful to simplify writing git hook scripts such as pre-commit. Contributed by @castarco

  • Improve support of .prettierignore when migrating from Prettier

    Now, Biome translates most of the glob patterns in .prettierignore to the equivalent Biome ignore pattern. Only negated glob patterns are not supported.

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Support JavaScript configuration files when migrating from Prettier

    biome migrate prettier is now able to migrate Prettier configuration files ending with js, mjs, or cjs extensions. To do this, Biome invokes Node.js.

    Also, embedded Prettier configurations in package.json are now supported.

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Support overrides field in Prettier configuration files when migrating from Prettier. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Support passing a file path to the --config-path flag or the BIOME_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.

    Now you can pass a .json/.jsonc file path with any filename to the --config-path flag or the BIOME_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. This will disable the configuration auto-resolution and Biome will try to read the configuration from the said file path (#2265).

  • Fixed the JSON schema for React hooks configuration (#2396). Contributed by @arendjr

  • Biome now displays the location of a parsing error for its configuration file (#1627).

    Previously, when Biome encountered a parsing error in its configuration file, it didn’t indicate the location of the error. It now displays the name of the configuration file and the range where the error occurred.

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • options is no longer required for rules without any options (#2313).

    Previously, the JSON schema required to set options to null when an object is used to set the diagnostic level of a rule without any option. However, if options is set to null, Biome emits an error.

    The schema is now fixed and it no longer requires specifying options. This makes the following configuration valid:

    {
    "linter": {
    "rules": {
    "style": {
    "noDefaultExport": {
    "level": "off"
    }

New rules are incubated in the nursery group. Once stable, we promote them to a stable group. The following rules are promoted:

  • Add a new option jsxRuntime to the javascript configuration. When set to reactClassic, the noUnusedImports and useImportType rules use this information to make exceptions for the React global that is required by the React Classic JSX transform.

    This is only necessary for React users who haven’t upgraded to the new JSX transform.

    return <Component />;
    }

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • complexity/useLiteralKeys no longer report computed properties named __proto__ (#2430).

    In JavaScript, {["__proto__"]: null} and {__proto__: null} have not the same semantic. The first code set a regular property to null. The second one set the prototype of the object to null. See the MDN Docs for more details.

    The rule now ignores computed properties named __proto__.

  • Fix #1931. Built-in React hooks such as useEffect() can now be validated by the useExhaustiveDependendies, even when they’re not being imported from the React library. To do so, simply configure them like any other user-provided hooks.

    Contributed by @arendjr

  • Implemented #1128. User-provided React hooks can now be configured to track stable results. For example:

    "name": "useMyState",
    "stableResult": [
    1
    ]
    }]
    }
    }

    This will allow the following to be validated:

    const [myState, setMyState] = useMyState();
    const toggleMyState = useCallback(() => {
    setMyState(!myState);
    }, [myState]); // Only `myState` needs to be specified here.

  • Add a new command biome migrate prettier. The command will read the file .prettierrc/prettier.json and .prettierignore and map its configuration to Biome’s one. Due to the different nature of .prettierignore globs and Biome’s globs, it’s highly advised to make sure that those still work under Biome.

  • Now the file name printed in the diagnostics is clickable. If you run the CLI from your editor, you can Ctrl/ + Click on the file name, and the editor will open said file. If row and columns are specified e.g. file.js:32:7, the editor will set the cursor right in that position. Contributed by @ematipico

  • The CLI now consistently reports the number of files tha were changed, out of the total files that were analysed. Contributed by @ematipico

  • The CLI now consistently shows the number of errors and warnings emitted. Contributed by @ematipico

  • Don’t process files under an ignored directory.

    Previously, Biome processed all files in the traversed hierarchy, even the files under an ignored directory. Now, it completely skips the content of ignored directories.

    For now, directories cannot be ignored using files.include in the configuration file. This is a known limitation that we want to address in a future release.

    For instance, if you have a project with a folder src and a folder test, the following configuration doesn’t completely ignore test.

    {
    "files": {
    "include": ["src"]
    }
    }

    Biome will traverse test, however all files of the directory are correctly ignored. This can result in file system errors, if Biome encounters dangling symbolic links or files with higher permissions.

    To avoid traversing the test directory, you should ignore the directory using ignore:

    {
    "files": {
    "include": ["src"],
    "ignore": ["test"]
    }
    }

  • Add the ability to resolve the configuration files defined inside extends from the node_modules/ directory.

    If you want to resolve a configuration file that matches the specifier @org/configs/biome, then your package.json file must look this:

    {
    "name": "@org/configs",
    "exports": {
    "./biome": "./biome.json"
    }
    }

    And the biome.json file that “imports” said configuration, will look like this:

    {
    "extends": "@org/configs/biome"
    }

    Read the documentation to better understand how it works, expectations and restrictions.

  • Fix a regression where ignored files where formatted in the editor. Contributed by @ematipico
  • Fix a bug where syntax rules weren’t run when pulling the diagnostics. Now Biome will emit more parsing diagnostics, e.g.
    check.js:1:17 parse/noDuplicatePrivateClassMembers ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
    × Duplicate private class member "#foo"
    > 1 │ class A { #foo; #foo }
    │ ^^^^

  • composer.json, deno.json, jsconfig.json, package.json and tsconfig.json are no longer protected files.

    This means that you can now format them.

    If you want to ignore these files, you can use the files.ignore configuration:

    {
    "files": {
    "ignore": [
    "composer.json",
    "jsconfig.json",
    "package.json",
    "tsconfig.json",
    "typescript.json",
    "deno.json",
    "deno.jsonc"
    ]
    }
    }

    The following files are still protected, and thus ignored:

    • composer.lock
    • npm-shrinkwrap.json
    • package-lock.json
    • yarn.lock

New rules are incubated in the nursery group. Once stable, we promote them to a stable group. The following rules are promoted:

Additionally, the following rules are now recommended:

  • Remove nursery/useGroupedTypeImport. The rule style/useImportType covers the behavior of this rule.

    Note that removing a nursery rule is not considered a breaking change according to our semantic versioning.

  • useNamingConvention now supports unicase letters (#1786).

    unicase letters have a single case: they are neither uppercase nor lowercase. Previously, Biome reported names in unicase as invalid. It now accepts a name in unicase everywhere.

    The following code is now accepted:

    const 안녕하세요 = { 안녕하세요: 0 };

    We still reject a name that mixes unicase characters with lowercase or uppercase characters: The following names are rejected:

    const A안녕하세요 = { a안녕하세요: 0 };

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useNamingConvention and useFilenamingConvention now provides a new option requireAscii to require identifiers to be in ASCII.

    To avoid any breaking change, this option is turned off by default. We intend to turn it on in the next major release of Biome (Biome 2.0).

    Set the requireAscii rule option to true to require identifiers to be in ASCII.

  • Don’t emit verbose warnings when a protected file is ignored.

    Some files, such as package.json and tsconfig.json, are protected. Biome emits a verbose warning when it encounters a protected file.

  • Add dependency variable names on error message when useExhaustiveDependencies rule shows errors. Contributed by @mehm8128

  • The fix of useArrowFunction now adds parentheses around the arrow function in more cases where it is needed (#1524).

    A function expression doesn’t need parentheses in most expressions where it can appear. This is not the case with the arrow function. We previously added parentheses when the function appears in a call or member expression. We now add parentheses in binary-like expressions and other cases where they are needed, hopefully covering all cases.

    Previously:

    f = f ?? function() {};
    f = f ?? () => {};

    Now:

    f = f ?? function() {};
    f = f ?? (() => {});

New rules are incubated in the nursery group. Once stable, we promote them to a stable group. The following rules are promoted:

  • Add useExportType that enforces the use of type-only exports for types. Contributed by @Conaclos

    interface A {}
    interface B {}
    class C {}
    export type { A, C }
    export { type A, C }
    export { type B }
    export type { B }
  • Add useImportType that enforces the use of type-only imports for types. Contributed by @Conaclos

    import { A, B } from "./mod.js";
    import { type A, B } from "mod";
    let a: A;
    const b: B = new B();

    Also, the rule groups type-only imports:

    import { type A, type B } from "./mod.js";
    import type { A, B } from "./mod.js";
  • Add useFilenamingConvention, that enforces naming conventions for JavaScript and TypeScript filenames. Contributed by @Conaclos

    By default, the rule requires that a filename be in camelCase, kebab-case, snake_case, or matches the name of an export in the file. The rule provides options to restrict the allowed cases.

  • Add useNodejsImportProtocol that enforces the use of the node: protocol when importing Node.js modules. Contributed by @2-NOW, @vasucp1207, and @Conaclos

    import fs from "fs";
    import fs from "node:fs";
  • Add useNumberNamespace that enforces the use of the Number properties instead of the global ones.

    parseInt;
    Number.parseInt;
    - Infinity;
    Number.NEGATIVE_INFINITY;
  • Add useShorthandFunctionType that enforces using function types instead of object type with call signatures. Contributed by @emab, @ImBIOS, and @seitarof

    interface Example {
    (): string;
    }
    type Example = () => string
- Add [noNodejsModules](https://biomejs.dev/linter/rules/no-nodejs-modules), that disallows the use of _Node.js_ modules. Contributed by @anonrig, @ematipico, and @Conaclos
- Add [noInvalidUseBeforeDeclaration](https://biomejs.dev/linter/rules/no-invalid-use-before-declaration) that reports variables and function parameters used before their declaration. Contributed by @Conaclos
```js
function f() {
console.log(c); // Use of `c` before its declaration.
const c = 0;
}
  • Add useConsistentArrayType that enforces the use of a consistent syntax for array types. Contributed by @eryue0220

    This rule will replace useShorthandArrayType. It provides an option to choose between the shorthand or the generic syntax.

  • Add noEmptyTypeParameters that ensures that any type parameter list has at least one type parameter. Contributed by @togami2864

    This will report the following empty type parameter lists:

    interface Foo<> {}
    // ^^
    type Bar<> = {};
    // ^^
  • Add noGlobalEval that reports any use of the global eval. Contributed by @you-5805

  • Add noGlobalAssign that reports assignment to global variables. Contributed by @chansuke

    Object = {}; // report assignment to `Object`.
  • Add noMisleadingCharacterClass that disallows characters made with multiple code points in character class. Contributed by @togami2864

  • Add noThenProperty that disallows the use of then as property name. Adding a then property makes an object thenable that can lead to errors with Promises. Contributed by @togami2864

  • Add noUselessTernary that disallows conditional expressions ( ternaries) when simpler alternatives exist.

    var a = x ? true : true; // this could be simplified to `x`

Fix #1061. noRedeclare no longer reports overloads of export default function. Contributed by @Conaclos

Fix #651, useExhaustiveDependencies no longer reports out of scope dependencies. Contributed by @kalleep

The following code is no longer reported:

let outer = false;
const Component = ({}) => {
useEffect(() => {
outer = true;
}, []);
}

Fix #1191. noUselessElse now preserve comments of the else clause. Contributed by @Conaclos

For example, the rule suggested the following fix:

function f(x) {
if (x <0) {
return 0;
}
// Comment
else {
return x;
}
}

Now the rule suggests a fix that preserves the comment of the else clause:

function f(x) {
if (x <0) {
return 0;
}
// Comment
else {
return x;
}
}

Fix #1383. noConfusingVoidType now accepts the void type in type parameter lists.

The rule no longer reports the following code:

f<void>();

Fix #728. useSingleVarDeclarator no longer outputs invalid code. Contributed by @Conaclos

Fix #1167. useValidAriaProps no longer reports aria-atomic as invalid. Contributed by @unvalley

Fix #1192. useTemplate now correctly handles parenthesized expressions and respects type coercions. Contributed by @n-gude

These cases are now properly handled:

"a" + (1 + 2) // `a${1 + 2}`
1 + (2 + "a") // `${1}${2}a`

Fix #1456. useTemplate now reports expressions with an interpolated template literal and non-string expressions. Contributed by @n-gude

The following code is now reported:

`a${1}` + 2;

Fix #1436. useArrowFunction now applies a correct fix when a function expression is used in a call expression or a member access. Contributed by @Conaclos

For example, the rule proposed the following fix:

const called = function() {}();
const called = () => {}();

It now proposes a fix that adds the needed parentheses:

const called = function() {}();
const called = (() => {})();

Fix #696. useHookAtTopLevel now correctly detects early returns before the calls to the hook.

  • The code fix of noUselessTypeCOnstraint now adds a trailing comma when needed to disambiguate a type parameter list from a JSX element. COntributed by @Conaclos

Fix #578. useExhaustiveDependencies now correctly recognizes hooks namespaced under the React namespace. Contributed by @XiNiHa

Fix #910. noSvgWithoutTitle now ignores <svg> element with aria-hidden="true". COntributed by @vasucp1207

  • The representation of imports has been simplified. Contributed by @Conaclos

    The new representation is closer to the ECMAScript standard. It provides a single way of representing a namespace import such as import * as ns from "". It rules out some invalid states that was previously representable. For example, it is no longer possible to represent a combined import with a type qualifier such as import type D, { N } from "".

    See #1163 for more details.

  • Imports and exports with both an import attribute and a type qualifier are now reported as parse errors.

    import type A from "mod" with { type: "json" };
    // ^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    // parse error
  • Fix #1077 where parenthesized identifiers in conditional expression were being parsed as arrow expressions. Contributed by @kalleep

    These cases are now properly parsed:

    JavaScript:

    a ? (b) : a => {};

    TypeScript:

    a ? (b) : a => {};

    JSX:

    bar ? (foo) : (<a>{() => {}}</a>);
  • Allow empty type parameter lists for interfaces and type aliases (#1237). COntributed by @togami2864

    TypeScript allows interface declarations and type aliases to have empty type parameter lists. Previously Biome didn’t handle this edge case. Now, it correctly parses this syntax:

    interface Foo<> {}
    type Bar<> = {};
  • Rename the biome_js_unicode_table crate to biome_unicode_table (#1302). COntributed by @chansuke
  • Fix #933. Some files are properly ignored in the LSP too. E.g. package.json, tsconfig.json, etc.
  • Fix #1394, by inferring the language extension from the internal saved files. Now newly created files JavaScript correctly show diagnostics.

  • Fix #910, where the rule noSvgWithoutTitle should skip elements that have aria-hidden attributes. Contributed by @vasucp1207
  • Add useForOf rule. The rule recommends a for-of loop when the loop index is only used to read from an array that is being iterated. Contributed by @victor-teles
  • Address #924 and #920. noUselessElse now ignores else clauses that follow at least one if statement that doesn’t break early. Contributed by @Conaclos

    For example, the following code is no longer reported by the rule:

    function f(x) {
    if (x < 0) {
    // this `if` doesn't break early.
    } else if (x > 0) {
    return x;
    } else {
    // This `else` block was previously reported as useless.
    }
    }

  • Add option --daemon-logs to biome rage. The option is required to view Biome daemon server logs. Contributed by @unvalley

  • Add support for logging. By default, Biome doesn’t log anything other than diagnostics. Logging can be enabled with the new option --log-level:

    Terminal window
    biome format --log-level=info ./src

    There are four different levels of logging, from the most verbose to the least verbose: debug, info, warn and error. Here’s how an INFO log will look like:

    2023-10-05T08:27:01.954727Z INFO Analyze file ./website/src/playground/components/Resizable.tsx
    at crates/biome_service/src/file_handlers/javascript.rs:298 on biome::worker_5
    in Pulling diagnostics with categories: RuleCategories(SYNTAX)
    in Processes formatting with path: "./website/src/playground/components/Resizable.tsx"
    in Process check with path: "./website/src/playground/components/Resizable.tsx"

    You can customize how the log will look like with a new option --log-kind. The supported kinds are: pretty, compact and json.

    pretty is the default logging. Here’s how a compact log will look like:

    2023-10-05T08:29:04.864247Z INFO biome::worker_2 Process check:Processes linting:Pulling diagnostics: crates/biome_service/src/file_handlers/javascript.rs: Analyze file ./website/src/playground/components/Resizable.tsx path="./website/src/playground/components/Resizable.tsx" path="./website/src/playground/components/Resizable.tsx" categories=RuleCategories(LINT)

  • Deprecated the environment variable ROME_BINARY. Use BIOME_BINARY instead. Contributed by @ematipico
  • Biome doesn’t check anymore the presence of the .git folder when VCS support is enabled. Contributed by @ematipico
  • biome rage doesn’t print the logs of the daemon, use biome rage --daemon-logs to print them. Contributed by @unvalley
  • Add option formatter.indentWidth, and deprecated the option formatter.indentSize. Contributed by @ematipico

  • Add option javascript.formatter.indentWidth, and deprecated the option javascript.formatter.indentSize. Contributed by @ematipico

  • Add option json.formatter.indentWidth, and deprecated the option json.formatter.indentSize. Contributed by @ematipico

  • Add option include to multiple sections of the configuration

    • files.include;
    • formatter.include;
    • linter.include;
    • organizeImports.include; When include and ignore are both specified, ignore takes precedence over include
  • Add option overrides, where users can modify the behaviour of the tools for certain files or paths.

    For example, it’s possible to modify the formatter lineWidth, and even quoteStyle for certain files that are included in glob path generated/**:

    {
    "formatter": {
    "lineWidth": 100
    },
    "overrides": [
    {
    "include": ["generated/**"],
    "formatter": {
    "lineWidth": 160
    },
    "javascript": {
    "formatter": {
    "quoteStyle": "single"
    }
    }
    }
    ]
    }

    Or, you can disable certain rules for certain path, and disable the linter for other paths:

    {
    "linter": {
    "enabled": true,
    "rules": {
    "recommended": true
    }
    },
    "overrides": [

The following rules are now recommended:

  • Add noEmptyCharacterClassInRegex rule. The rule reports empty character classes and empty negated character classes in regular expression literals. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Add noMisleadingInstantiator rule. The rule reports the misleading use of the new and constructor methods. Contributed by @unvalley

  • Add noUselessElse rule. The rule reports else clauses that can be omitted because their if branches break. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Add noUnusedImports rule. The rule reports unused imports and suggests removing them. Contributed by @Conaclos

    noUnusedVariables reports also unused imports, but don’t suggest their removal. Once noUnusedImports stabilized, noUnusedVariables will not report unused imports.

  • Add useShorthandAssign rule. The rule enforce use of shorthand operators that combine variable assignment and some simple mathematical operations. For example, x = x + 4 can be shortened to x += 4. Contributed by @victor-teles

  • Add useAsConstAssertion rule. The rule enforce use of as const assertion to infer literal types. Contributed by @unvalley

  • Add noMisrefactoredShorthandAssign rule. The rule reports shorthand assigns when variable appears on both sides. For example x += x + b Contributed by @victor-teles

  • Add noApproximativeNumericConstant rule. Contributed by @nikeee

Add noInteractiveElementToNoninteractiveRole rule. The rule enforces the non-interactive ARIA roles are not assigned to interactive HTML elements. Contributed by @nissy-dev

  • Add useAriaActivedescendantWithTabindex rule. The rule enforces that tabIndex is assigned to non-interactive HTML elements with aria-activedescendant. Contributed by @nissy-dev

  • Fix #243 a false positive case where the incorrect scope was defined for the infer type in rule noUndeclaredVariables. Contributed by @denbezrukov

  • Fix #322, now noSelfAssign correctly handles literals inside call expressions.

  • Changed how noSelfAssign behaves. The rule is not triggered anymore on function calls. Contributed by @ematipico

  • Enhance diagnostic for infer type handling in the parser. The ‘infer’ keyword can only be utilized within the ’ extends’ clause of a conditional type. Using it outside this context will result in an error. Ensure that any type declarations using ‘infer’ are correctly placed within the conditional type structure to avoid parsing issues. Contributed by @denbezrukov

  • Add support for parsing trailing commas inside JSON files:

New rules are incubated in the nursery group. Once stable, we promote them to a stable group. The following rules are promoted:

  • Add noConfusingVoidType rule. The rule reports the unusual use of the void type. Contributed by @shulandmimi
  • Remove noConfusingArrow

    Code formatters, such as prettier and Biome, always adds parentheses around the parameter or the body of an arrow function. This makes the rule useless.

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noFallthroughSwitchClause now relies on control flow analysis to report most of the switch clause fallthrough. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noAssignInExpressions no longer suggest code fixes. Most of the time the suggestion didn’t match users’ expectations. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noUselessConstructor no longer emits safe code fixes. Contributed by @Conaclos

    All code fixes are now emitted as unsafe code fixes. Removing a constructor can change the behavior of a program.

  • useCollapsedElseIf now only provides safe code fixes. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noUnusedVariables now reports more cases.

    The rule is now able to ignore self-writes. For example, the rule reports the following unused variable:

    let a = 0;
    a++;
    a += 1;

    The rule is also capable of detecting an unused declaration that uses itself. For example, the rule reports the following unused interface:

    interface I {
    instance(): I
    }

    Finally, the rule now ignores all TypeScript declaration files, including global declaration files.

  • Improve server binary resolution when using certain package managers, notably pnpm.

    The new strategy is to point to node_modules/.bin/biome path, which is consistent for all package managers.

  • Fix a case where an empty JSON file would cause the LSP server to crash. Contributed by @ematipico
  • useNamingConvention now accepts import namespaces in PascalCase and rejects export namespaces in CONSTANT_CASE.

    The following code is now valid:

    import * as React from "react";

    And the following code is now invalid:

    export * as MY_NAMESPACE from "./lib.js";

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • noUselessConstructor now ignores decorated classes and decorated parameters. The rule now gives suggestions instead of safe fixes when parameters are annotated with types. Contributed by @Conaclos

  • The diagnostic for // rome-ignore suppression comment should not be a warning. A warning could block the CI, marking a gradual migration difficult. The code action that changes // rome-ignore to // biome-ignore is disabled as consequence. Contributed by @ematipico
  • Add a code action to replace rome-ignore with biome-ignore. Use biome check --apply-unsafe to update all the comments. The action is not bulletproof, and it might generate unwanted code, that’s why it’s unsafe action. Contributed by @ematipico
  • Biome now reports a diagnostics when a rome.json file is found.
  • biome migrate --write creates biome.json from rome.json, but it won’t delete the rome.json file. Contributed by @ematipico
  • Biome uses biome.json first, then it attempts to use rome.json.
  • Fix a case where Biome couldn’t compute correctly the ignored files when the VSC integration is enabled. Contributed by @ematipico
  • The LSP now uses its own socket and won’t rely on Biome’s socket. This fixes some cases where users were seeing multiple servers in the rage output.
  • You can use // biome-ignore as suppression comment.
  • The // rome-ignore suppression is deprecated.
  • Add useCollapsedElseIf rule. This new rule requires merging an else and an if, if the if statement is the only statement in the else block. Contributed by @n-gude
  • useTemplate now reports all string concatenations.

    Previously, the rule ignored concatenation of a value and a newline or a backquote. For example, the following concatenation was not reported:

    v + "\n";
    "`" + v + "`";

    The rule now reports these cases and suggests the following code fixes:

    v + "\n";
    `${v}\n`;
    v + "`";
    `\`${v}\``;

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • useExponentiationOperator suggests better code fixes.

    The rule now preserves any comment preceding the exponent, and it preserves any parenthesis around the base or the exponent. It also adds spaces around the exponentiation operator **, and always adds parentheses for pre- and post-updates.

    Math.pow(a++, /**/ (2))
    (a++) ** /**/ (2)

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • You can use // biome-ignore as suppression comment.

  • The // rome-ignore suppression is deprecated.

  • Fix #80, making noDuplicateJsxProps case-insensitive.

    Some frameworks, such as Material UI, rely on the case-sensitivity of JSX properties. For example, TextField has two properties with the same name, but distinct cases:

    <TextField inputLabelProps="" InputLabelProps=""></TextField>

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Fix #138

    noCommaOperator now correctly ignores all use of comma operators inside the update part of a for loop. The following code is now correctly ignored:

    for (
    let i = 0, j = 1, k = 2;
    i < 100;
    i++, j++, k++
    ) {}

    Contributed by @Conaclos

  • Fix rome#4713.

    Previously, useTemplate made the following suggestion:

    a + b + "px"
    `${a}${b}px`

    This breaks code where a and b are numbers.

    Now, the rule makes the following suggestion:

    a + b + "px"
    `${a + b}px`

  • Fix rome#4109

    Previously, useTemplate suggested an invalid code fix when a leading or trailing single-line comment was present:

    // leading comment
    1 /* inner comment */ + "+" + 2 // trailing comment
    `${// leading comment
    1 /* inner comment */}+${2 //trailing comment}` // trailing comment

    Now, the rule correctly handles this case:

    // leading comment
    1 + "+" + 2 // trailing comment
    `${1}+${2}` // trailing comment

    As a sideeffect, the rule also suggests the removal of any inner comments.

  • Fix rome#3850

    Previously useExponentiationOperator suggested invalid code in a specific edge case:

    1 +Math.pow(++a, 2)
    1 +++a**2

    Now, the rule properly adds parentheses:

    1 +Math.pow(++a, 2)
    1 +(++a) ** 2

  • The organize imports feature now groups import statements by “distance”.

    Modules “farther” from the user are put on the top, and modules “closer” to the user are placed on the bottom. Check the documentation for more information about it.

  • The organize imports tool is enabled by default. If you don’t want to use it, you need to disable it explicitly:

    {
    "organizeImports": {
    "enabled": false
    }
    }
  • The CLI now exists with an error when there’s an error inside the configuration.

    Previously, biome would raise warnings and continue the execution by applying its defaults.

    This could have been better for users because this could have created false positives in linting or formatted code with a configuration that wasn’t the user’s.

  • The command biome check now shows formatter diagnostics when checking the code.

    The diagnostics presence will result in an error code when the command finishes.

    This aligns with semantic and behaviour meant for the command biome check.

  • init command emits a biome.json file;

  • Fix #4670, don’t crash at empty default export.

  • Fix #4556, which correctly handles new lines in the .gitignore file across OS.

  • Add a new option to ignore unknown files --files-ignore-unknown:

    Terminal window
    biome format --files-ignore-unknown ./src

    Doing so, Biome won’t emit diagnostics for files that doesn’t know how to handle.

  • Add the new option --no-errors-on-unmatched:

    Terminal window
    biome format --no-errors-on-unmatched ./src

    Biome doesn’t exit with an error code if no files were processed in the given paths.

  • Fix the diagnostics emitted when running the biome format command.

  • Biome no longer warns when discovering (possibly infinite) symbolic links between directories.

    This fixes #4193 which resulted in incorrect warnings when a single file or directory was pointed at by multiple symbolic links. Symbolic links to other symbolic links do still trigger warnings if they are too deeply nested.

  • Introduced a new command called biome lint, which will only run lint rules against the code base.

  • Biome recognizes known files as “JSON files with comments allowed”:

    • typescript.json;
    • tsconfig.json;
    • jsconfig.json;
    • tslint.json;
    • babel.config.json;
    • .babelrc.json;
    • .ember-cli;
    • typedoc.json;
    • .eslintrc.json;
    • .eslintrc;
    • .jsfmtrc;
    • .jshintrc;
    • .swcrc;
    • .hintrc;
    • .babelrc;
  • Add support for biome.json;

  • Add a new option to ignore unknown files:

    {
    "files": {
    "ignoreUnknown": true
    }
    }

    Doing so, Biome won’t emit diagnostics for file that it doesn’t know how to handle.

  • Add a new "javascript" option to support the unsafe/experimental parameter decorators:

    {
    "javascript": {
    "parser": {
    "unsafeParameterDecoratorsEnabled": true
    }
    }
    }
  • Add a new "extends" option, useful to split the configuration file in multiple files:

    {
    "extends": ["../sharedFormatter.json", "linter.json"]
    }

    The resolution of the files is file system based, Biome doesn’t know how to resolve dependencies yet.

  • The commands biome check and biome lint now show the remaining diagnostics even when --apply-safe or --apply-unsafe are passed.

  • Fix the commands biome check and biome lint, they won’t exit with an error code if no error diagnostics are emitted.

  • Add a new option --error-on-warnings, which instructs Biome to exit with an error code when warnings are emitted.

    Terminal window
    biome check --error-on-warnings ./src
  • Add a configuration to enable parsing comments inside JSON files:

    {
    "json": {
    "parser": {
    "allowComments": true
    }
    }
    }
  • The Biome LSP can now show diagnostics belonging to JSON lint rules.

  • The Biome LSP no longer applies unsafe quickfixes on-save when editor.codeActionsOnSave.quickfix.biome is enabled.

  • Fix #4564; files too large don’t emit errors.

  • The Biome LSP sends client messages when files are ignored or too big.

  • Add a new option called --jsx-quote-style.

    This option lets you choose between single and double quotes for JSX attributes.

  • Add the option --arrow-parentheses.

    This option allows setting the parentheses style for arrow functions.

  • The JSON formatter can now format .json files with comments.

  • Remove complexity/noExtraSemicolon (#4553)

    The Biome formatter takes care of removing extra semicolons. Thus, there is no need for this rule.

  • Remove useCamelCase

    Use useNamingConvention instead.

New rules are promoted, please check #4750 for more details:

The following rules are now recommended:

**- noUselessFragments

  • Add new TypeScript globals (AsyncDisposable, Awaited, DecoratorContext, and others) 4643.

  • noRedeclare: allow redeclare of index signatures are in different type members #4478

Improve noConsoleLog, noGlobalObjectCalls, useIsNan, and useNumericLiterals by handling globalThis and window namespaces.

For instance, the following code is now reported by noConsoleLog:

globalThis.console.log("log")
  • Improve noDuplicateParameters to manage constructor parameters.

  • Improve noInnerDeclarations

    Now, the rule doesn’t report false-positives about ambient TypeScript declarations. For example, the following code is no longer reported by the rule:

    declare var foo;
  • Improve useEnumInitializers

    The rule now reports all uninitialized members of an enum in a single diagnostic.

    Moreover, ambient enum declarations are now ignored. This avoids reporting ambient enum declarations in TypeScript declaration files.

    declare enum Weather {
    Rainy,
    Sunny,
    }
  • Relax noBannedTypes and improve documentation

    The rule no longer reports a user type that reuses a banned type name. The following code is now allowed:

    import { Number } from "a-lib";
    declare const v: Number;

    The rule now allows the use of the type {} to denote a non-nullable generic type:

    function f<T extends {}>(x: T) {
    assert(x != null);
    }

    And in a type intersection for narrowing a type to its non-nullable equivalent type:

    type NonNullableMyType = MyType & {};
  • Improve noConstantCondition

    The rule now allows while(true). This recognizes a common pattern in the web community:

    while (true) {
    if (cond) {
    break;
    }
    }
  • Improve the diagnostic and the code action of useDefaultParameterLast.

    The diagnostic now reports the last required parameter which should precede optional and default parameters.

    The code action now removes any whitespace between the parameter name and its initialization.

  • Relax noConfusingArrow

    All arrow functions that enclose its parameter with parenthesis are allowed. Thus, the following snippet no longer trigger the rule:

    var x = (a) => 1 ? 2 : 3;

    The following snippet still triggers the rule:

    var x = a => 1 ? 2 : 3;
  • Relax useLiteralEnumMembers

    Enum members that refer to previous enum members are now allowed. This allows a common pattern in enum flags like in the following example:

    enum FileAccess {
    None = 0,
    Read = 1,
    Write = 1 << 1,
    All = Read | Write,
    }

    Arbitrary numeric constant expressions are also allowed:

    enum FileAccess {
    None = 0,
    Read = 2**0,
    Write = 2**1,
    All = Read | Write,
    }
  • Improve useLiteralKeys.

    Now, the rule suggests simplifying computed properties to string literal properties:

    {
    ["1+1"]: 2,
    "1+1": 2,
    }

    It also suggests simplifying string literal properties to static properties:

    {
    "a": 0,
    a: 0,
    }

    These suggestions are made in object literals, classes, interfaces, and object types.

  • Improve noNewSymbol.

    The rule now handles cases where Symbol is namespaced with the global globalThis or window.

  • The rules useExhaustiveDependencies and useHookAtTopLevel accept a different shape of options

    Old configuration:

    {
    "linter": {
    "rules": {
    "nursery": {
    "useExhaustiveDependencies": {
    "level": "error",
    "options": {
    "hooks": [
    ["useMyEffect", 0, 1]
    ]
    }
    }
    }
    }
    }
    }

    New configuration:

    {
    "linter": {
    "rules": {
    "nursery": {
    "useExhaustiveDependencies": {
    "level": "error",
    "options": {
    "hooks": [
    {
    "name": "useMyEffect",
    "closureIndex": 0,
    "dependenciesIndex": 1
    }
    ]
    }
    }
    }
    }
    }
    }
  • noRedundantUseStrict check only 'use strict' directive to resolve false positive diagnostics.

    React introduced new directives, “use client” and “use server”. The rule raises false positive errors about these directives.

  • Fix a crash in the NoParameterAssign rule that occurred when there was a bogus binding. #4323

  • Fix useExhaustiveDependencies in the following cases #4330:

    • when the first argument of hooks is a named function
    • inside an export default function
    • for React.use hooks
  • Fix noInvalidConstructorSuper that erroneously reported generic parents #4624.

  • Fix noDuplicateCase that erroneously reported as equals the strings literals "'" and '"' #4706.

  • Fix NoUnreachableSuper’s false positive diagnostics (#4483) caused to nested if statement.

    The rule no longer reports This constructor calls super() in a loop when using nested if statements in a constructor.

  • Fix useHookAtTopLevel’s false positive diagnostics (#4637)

    The rule no longer reports false positive diagnostics when accessing properties directly from a hook and calling a hook inside function arguments.

  • Fix noUselessConstructor which erroneously reported constructors with default parameters rome#4781

  • Fix noUselessFragments’s panics when running biome check --apply-unsafe (#4637)

    This rule’s code action emits an invalid AST, so I fixed using JsxString instead of JsStringLiteral

  • Fix noUndeclaredVariables’s false positive diagnostics (#4675)

    The semantic analyzer no longer handles this reference identifier.

  • Fix noUnusedVariables’s false positive diagnostics (#4688)

    The semantic analyzer handles ts export declaration clause correctly.

  • Add support for decorators in class method parameters, example:

    class AppController {
    get(@Param() id) {}
    // ^^^^^^^^ new supported syntax
    }

    This syntax is only supported via configuration, because it’s a non-standard syntax.

    {
    "javascript": {
    "parser": {
    "unsafeParameterDecoratorsEnabled": true
    }
    }
    }
  • Add support for parsing comments inside JSON files:

    {
    "json": {
    "parser": {
    "allowComments": true
    }
    }
    }
  • Add support for the new using syntax

    const using = resource.lock();
