Version History
Version 2.0.0
Major Changes
-
Biome now resolves globs and paths from the configuration. Before, paths and globs were resolved from the working directory.
-
Biome now raises a warning diagnostic for suppression comments that have
<explanation>as reason.<explanation>is provided as a placeholder when applying the suppression code fix from LSP editors. -
Removed the
--config-pathargument from thebiome lsp-proxyandbiome startcommands.The option was overriding the configuration path for all workspaces opened in the Biome daemon, which led to a configuration mismatch problem when multiple projects are opened in some editors or IDEs.
If you are using one of our official plugins for IDEs or editors, it is recommended to update it to the latest version of the plugin, or you will get unexpected behavior.
If you are a developer of a plugin, please update your plugin to use the
workspace/configurationresponse instead of using the--config-pathargument. Biome’s LSP will resolve a configuration in the workspace automatically, so it is recommended to keep it empty unless you are using a custom configuration path. -
Downgraded some code fixes to unsafe which were previously safe.
The following rules have now a unsafe fix:
If you want to keep applying these fixes automatically, configure the rule fix as safe:
{"linter": {"rules": {"correctness": {"noFlatMapIdentity": {"level": "error","fix": "safe"},"noUnusedImports": {"level": "error","fix": "safe"}}}}} -
Previously the lint rules
noControlCharactersInRegexandnoMisleadingCharacterClasschecked both regular expression literals like/regex/and dynamically built regular expressions likenew RegExp("regex").Checking dynamically built regular expressions has many limitations, edge cases, and complexities. In addition, other rules that lint regular expressions don’t check dynamically built regular expressions.
Rather than add support for other rules and have half-baked checking, we decided to remove support for dynamically built regular expressions.
Now the lint rules
noControlCharactersInRegexandnoMisleadingCharacterClassonly check literals of regular expressions. -
The lint rule
noRestrictedGlobalsnow supports customizing message for each global name.For example, the following configuration:
{"options": {"deniedGlobals": {"$": "jQuery is not allowed. Use native DOM manipulation instead."}}}emits a diagnostic:
index.js:1:13 lint/style/noRestrictedGlobals ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⚠ Do not use the global variable $.> 1 │ console.log($)│ ^2 │ℹ jQuery is not allowed. Use native DOM manipulation instead.Breaking Change: The option
deniedGlobalsis now a record instead of an array. Runbiome migrateto migrate the configuration automatically. -
Removed
includeandignorefields in favor of the new fieldincludes.The Biome configuration file allows users to specify which files should be processed using glob patterns. Prior to Biome 2.0, this was done using the
includeandignorefields. In Biome 2.0,includeandignoreare removed and replaced byincludes. You can runbiome migrateto convertincludeandignoreintoincludesautomatically.includesuses a different glob pattern format that fixes many issues and many other limitations that Biome users reported.includesaccepts an array of glob patterns. A glob pattern starting with a!is a negated pattern also called exception. This replacesignorepatterns and allows users to create chains of include and ignore patterns. Thus, it is now possible to include again a file previously ignored. This was not possible withincludeandignore, becauseignorehas priority overinclude.The semantics of
*and**/*have changed too. Before, withincludeandignore, the glob*was interpreted as**/*. Now, withincludes, the globs*and**/*are interpreted differently. The first pattern matches all files that are inside a folder. The second pattern recursively matches all files and sub-folders inside a folder.Let’s take an example. Given the following file hierarchy of a project…
├── biome.json├── src│ ├── file.js│ ├── file.ts│ ├── out.gen.js│ ├── file.test.js│ └── test│ └── special.test.js└── test ...…we want:
- Ignore all files ending with
.test.js, exceptspecial.test.ts. - Ignore all files of the
testdirectory. Thetestdirectory is located at the root of the project. - Execute the linter on files in the
srcdirectory, that don’t end with.gen.js. Thesrcdirectory is located at the root of the project. - Enable the
noDefaultExportlint rule on files ending with.ts.
Prior to Biome 2.0, the configuration might look like:
{"files": {"ignore": ["*.test.js", "test"]},"linter": {"include": ["src/**"],"ignore": ["*.gen.js"],"enabled": true},"overrides": [{"include": ["*.ts"],"linter": { "rules": { "style": { "noDefaultExport": "on" } } }}]}Unfortunately, the configuration doesn’t quite fit what we want:
- There is no way to ignore files and unignore one of them. Thus, we ignore all files ending with
.test.js, includingspecial.test.ts. - The configuration ignores all directories named
test, includingsrc/test. - The linter is executed on all files of all directories named
src
All these issues and limitations are fixed with
includes. Here the migrated configuration:{"files": {"includes": ["**", "!**/*.test.js", "**/special.test.ts", "!test"]},"linter": {"includes": ["src/**", "!**/*.gen.js"],"enabled": true},"overrides": [{"includes": ["**/*.ts"],"linter": { "rules": { "style": { "noDefaultExport": "on" } } }}]}- All files named
special.test.tsare unignored because the pattern appear after the pattern that ignore files ending with.test.js. - Only the
testdirectory at the project’s root is ignored because the pattern doesn’t start with**/. - The linter is executed on the
srcdirectory at the project’s root only.
Because
includespattern have a different pattern format thanincludeandignorewe made some adjustments:- We added the pattern
**infiles.includesto ensure that all files are included before ignoring some of them. - We added the prefix
**/for patterns that must match at any level of the file hierarchy.
- Ignore all files ending with
-
noUndeclaredVariablesno longer reports TypeScript types.In TypeScript projects, developers often use global declaration files to declare global types. Biome is currently unable to detect these global types. This creates many false positives for
noUndeclaredVariables.TypeScript is better suited to perform this kind of check. As proof of this, TypeScript ESLint doesn’t provide any rule that extends the
no-undefESLint rule.This is why Biome 1.9 introduced a new option
checkTypeswhich, when it is set to false, ignores undeclared type references. The option was set totrueby default.This option is now set to
falseby default. To get the previous behavior, you have to setcheckTypestotrue:{"linter": {"rules": {"correctness": {"noUndeclaredVariables": {"level": "on","options": { "checkTypes": true }}}}}} -
The rule
noUnusedVariablesno longer reports unused function parameters. UsenoUnusedFunctionParameters. -
Fixed #5564.
noTypeOnlyImportAttributesnow ignores files ending with the extension.tswhen the type field ofpackage.jsonis set tocommonjs. -
The Biome formatter no longer adds a trailing comma in
.jsonfiles, even whenjson.formatter.trailingCommasis set totrue. -
Prettier 3.4 introduced a change in their normalization process of string literals: it no longer unescapes useless escape sequences. Biome now matches the new behavior of Prettier when formatting code. This affects the JSON and JavaScript formatters.
-
Reduced accepted values for formatter options:
- The option
--quote-styledoesn’t acceptSingleandDoubleanymore. - The option
--quote-propertiesdoesn’t acceptAsNeededandPreserveanymore. - The option
--semicolonsdoesn’t acceptAsNeededandAlwaysanymore. - The option
--arrow-parenthesisdoesn’t acceptAsNeededandAlwaysanymore. - The option
--trailing-commasdoesn’t acceptES5,AllandNoneanymore. - The option
--attribute-positiondoesn’t acceptSingleandMultilineanymore.
- The option
-
Removed the option
enumMemberCasefrom the lint ruleuseNamingConvention.enumMemberCaseis an option that allows to customize the enforced case for TypeScript’s enum members. The option was introduced prior to theconventionsoption that allows to do the same thing.The following configuration…
{"linter": {"rules": {"style": {"useNamingConvention": {"level": "on","options": {"enumMemberCase": "PascalCase"}}}}}}…must be rewritten as:
{"linter": {"rules": {"style": {"useNamingConvention": {"level": "on","options": {"conventions": [{"selector": { "kind": "enumMember" },"formats": ["PascalCase"]}]}}}}}}Run
biome migrate --writeto turnenumMemberCaseintoconventionsautomatically. -
Removed support for
BIOME_LOG_DIR.The environment variable
BIOME_LOG_DIRisn’t supported anymore.Use
BIOME_LOG_PATHinstead. -
Remove deprecated rules.
The following deprecated rules have been deleted:
noInvalidNewBuiltinnoNewSymboluseShorthandArrayTypeuseSingleCaseStatementnoConsoleLog
Run the command
biome migrate --writeto update the configuration. -
Removed the deprecated
indentSizeoption.The deprecated option
indentSize, and its relative CLI options, has been removed:- Configuration file:
formatter.indentSize - Configuration file:
javascript.formatter.indentSize - Configuration file:
json.formatter.indentSize - CLI option
--indent-size - CLI option
--javascript-formatter-indent-size - CLI option
--json-formatter-indent-size
Use
indentWidthand its relative CLI options instead. - Configuration file:
-
Removed
ROME_BINARY. UseBIOME_BINARYinstead. -
Removed support for legacy suppressions.
Biome used to support “legacy suppressions” that looked like this:
// biome-ignore lint(complexity/useWhile): reasonThis format is no longer supported.
-
Removed support for
max_line_lengthfrom.editorconfig, as it isn’t part of the official spec anymore. -
Removed support for
rome-ignoresuppression comments.Use
biome-ignoresuppression comments instead. -
Removed support for
rome.json.Use
biome.jsonorbiome.jsoncinstead. -
Removed the option
allfrom the linter.The options
linter.rules.allandlinter.rules.<group>.allhas been removed.The number of rules in Biome have increased in scope and use cases, and sometimes some of them can conflict with each other.
The option was useful at the beginning, but now it’s deemed harmful, because it can unexpected behaviours in users projects.
To automatically remove it, run the following command:
Terminal window biome migrate --write -
Removed the option
trailingCommafrom the configuration and the CLI. Use the optiontrailingCommasinstead:{"javascript": {"formatter": {"trailingComma": "es5""trailingCommas": "es5"}}}biome format --trailing-comma=es5biome format --trailing-commas=es5 -
Removed
--applyand--apply-unsafe.The CLI options
--applyand--apply-unasfearen’t accepted anymore. Use--writeand--write --unafeinstead:biome check --apply-unsafebiome check --write --unsafebiome check --applybiome check --write -
Removed support for
assertsyntax.Biome now longer supports the
assertsyntax, use the newwithsyntax insteadimport {test} from "foo.json" assert { for: "for" }export * from "mod" assert { type: "json" }import {test} from "foo.json" with { for: "for" }export * from "mod" with { type: "json" } -
Fixed #5495: The rule
noBlankTargethas been updated to accept therel="noopener"in addition torel="noreferrer". In addition, an option has been added that allowsrel="noreferrer"to be disabled.The rule has been moved from the
a11ygroup to thesecuritygroup. -
The rule
useImportRestrictionshas been renamed tonoPrivateImports, and its functionality has been significantly upgraded.Previously, the rule would assume that any direct imports from modules inside other directories should be forbidden due to their package private visibility.
The updated rule allows configuring the default visibility of exports, and recognises JSDoc comments to override this visibility. The default visibility is now
**public**, but can be set to**package**, or even**private**. Refer to the documentation of the rule to understand how to leverage the JSDoc comments.noPrivateImportsis now recommended by default. -
The Biome daemon now reuses its workspace across connections. This allows multiple clients to reuse the same documents and other cached data that we extract from them.
This primarily affects our IDE extensions: If you open multiple IDEs/windows for the same project, they’ll connect to the same daemon and reuse each other’s workspace.
The Biome CLI is unaffected unless you opt in with the
--use-serverargument. -
Biome no longer treats too large files as errors.
Previously, files that exceed the configured size limit would throw an error, and the CLI would exit with an error code.
Now, the CLI ignores the file, emits an information diagnostic and doesn’t exit with an error code.
-
Change the group of some rules, promote nursery rules and update the recommended rule set.
The following rules have been moved to a new group:
- complexity/noArguments
- complexity/noCommaOperator
- complexity/noFlatMapIdentity
- complexity/noUselessContinue
- complexity/useNumericLiterals

- correctness/noConstantMathMinMaxClamp
- correctness/noUnusedFunctionParameters (recommended by ESLint)
- correctness/noUnusedImports
- correctness/noUnusedPrivateClassMembers (recommended by ESLint)
- correctness/noUnusedVariables (recommended by ESLint)
- complexity/useDateNow
And the following style rules are no longer recommended:
-
Update the default severity level of lint rules.
Every diagnostic emitted by Biome has a severity level set to
error,warn, orinfo. Previously, all recommended lint rules had a default severity level set toerror. All other lint rules had a default severity level set towarn.We have adjusted the default severity level of every rule, whether recommended or not, to better communicate the severity that a diagnostic highlights.
- Rules that report hard errors, likely erroneous code, dangerous code, or accessibility issues now have a default severity level of
error. - Rules that report possibly erroneous codes, or code that could be cleaner if rewritten in another way now have a default severity level of
warn. - Rules that reports stylistic suggestions now have a default severity level of
info.
You can use the CLI option
--diagnostic-level=errorto display only errors, or--diagnostic-level=warningto display both errors and warnings. By default, all diagnostics are shown. You can also use the CLI option--error-on-warningsto make the command fail when warnings are emitted. - Rules that report hard errors, likely erroneous code, dangerous code, or accessibility issues now have a default severity level of
-
Reworked some recommended rules recommended to be less pedantic and blocking. This is a **breaking change ** if your project relied on those rules to block the CI in case of violations; if that’s the case, you should raise their severity level to error.
Some rules aren’t recommended anymore, and some others return a different severity.
The following rules return a warning diagnostic:
noDeletenoForEachnoSuspiciousSemicolonInJsxnoThisInStaticnoUnusedLabels
The following rules return an information diagnostic:
noUselessCatchnoUselessConstructornoUselessEmptyExportnoUselessFragmentsnoUselessLabelnoUselessLoneBlockStatementsnoUselessSwitchCasenoUselessTernarynoUselessThisAliasnoUselessTypeConstraintnoFlatMapIdentity
The following rules aren’t recommended anymore:
noDeletenoForEach
The rule
noRenderReturnValueanduseExhaustiveDependenciesare only recommended when thereactdomain is enabled. -
Renamed the global option
--skip-errorsto--skip-parse-errors. -
Remove the code action
quickfix.suppressRule.The code action
quickfix.suppressRulewas removed in favour of two new code actions:quickfix.suppressRule.inline.biome: a code action that adds a suppression comment for each violation.quickfix.suppressRule.topLevel.biome: a code action that adds a suppression comment at the top of the file which suppresses a rule for the whole file.
Given the following code
let foo = "one";debugger;The code action
quickfix.suppressRule.inline.biomewill result in the following code:// biome-ignore lint/style/useConst: <explanation>let foo = "one";// biome-ignore lint/suspicious/noDebugger: <explanation>debugger;The code action
quickfix.suppressRule.topLevel.biome, instead, will result in the following code:/** biome-ignore lint/suspicious/noDebugger: <explanation> *//** biome-ignore lint/style/useConst: <explanation> */let foo = "one";debugger; -
Changed default formatting of
package.json.When Biome encounters a file called
package.json, by default it will format the file with all objects and arrays expanded.{ "name": "project", "dependencies": { "foo": "latest" } }{"projectName": "project","dependencies": {"foo": "^1.0.0"}} -
The
organizeImportsis now part of Biome Assist. -
The rule
noVarnow belongs to thesuspiciousgroup -
The rule
useWhilenow belongs to thecomplexitygroup. -
The rule
useImportExtensionshas been updated to suggest actual file extensions instead of guesses based on heuristics.As part of this, the
suggestedExtensionsoption has been removed. A simpler, new option calledforceJsExtensionshas been introduced for those who usetsc’s"module": "node16"setting.The rule also no longer reports diagnostics to add an extension when the path doesn’t exist at all, with or without extension.
-
Fixed #4545:
useNamingConventionnow correctly ignores declarations inside TypeScript’s external modules.The following interface name is no longer reported by the rule:
declare module "myExternalModule" {export interface my_INTERFACE {}} -
The rule
useAltTextno longer checks the element’s attributes containing object spread.The following code doesn’t trigger the rule anymore:
<img src="test.png" alt={alt} {...restProps}></img> -
The rule
useNamingConventionno longer accepts non-ASCII characters by default.Prior to Biome 2.0, non-ASCII names were accepted by default. They are now rejected.
For example, the following code is now reported as invalid by the
useNamingConventionrule.let johnCafé;If you want to allow non ASCII filenames and non-ASCII identifiers, you need to set the
requireAsciioptions in your Biome configuration file tofalse:{"linter": {"rules": {"style": {"useFilenamingConvention": {"level": "on","options": {"requireAscii": false}}"useFilenamingConvention": {"level": "on","options": {"requireAscii": false}}}}}} -
Renamed the rule
noUnnecessaryContinuetonoUselessContinue. Run the commandbiome migrateto update your configuration. -
Renamed the rule
noMultipleSpacesInRegularExpressionLiteralstonoAdjacentSpacesInRegex. Run the commandbiome migrateto update your configuration.
Minor Changes
-
An option called
allowNoReferrerhas been added to thenoBlankTargetrule.By default,
noBlankTargetaccepts bothrel="noopener"andrel="noreferrer"with links that havetarget="_blank". This is because the latter implies the former, so either one is sufficient to mitigate the security risk.However, allowing
rel="noreferrer"may still be undesirable, because it can break tracking, which may be an undesirable side-effect. As such, you can setallowNoReferrer: falseto only acceptrel="noopener". -
Added new option
javascript.parser.jsxEverywhere. This new option allows to control whether Biome should expect JSX syntax in.js/.mjs/.cjsfiles.When
jsxEverywhereis set tofalse, having JSX syntax like<div></div>inside.js/.mjs/.cjsfiles will result in a parsing error.Despite the name of the option, JSX is never supported inside
.tsfiles. This is because TypeScript generics syntax may conflict with JSX in such files.This option defaults to
true. -
Add a new JS assist rule -
useSortedKeyswhich enforces ordering of a JS object properties. This rule will consider spread/calculated keys e.g[k]: 1as non-sortable. Instead, whenever it encounters a non-sortable key, it will sort all the previous sortable keys up until the nearest non-sortable key, if one exist. This prevents breaking the override of certain keys using spread keys.Source: https://perfectionist.dev/rules/sort-objects
// Base// fromconst obj = {b: 1,a: 1,...g,ba: 2,ab: 1,set aab(v) {this._aab = v;},[getProp()]: 2,aba: 2,abc: 3,abb: 3,get aaa() {return "";},};// toconst obj = {a: 1,b: 1,...g,set aab(v) {this._aab = v;},ab: 1,ba: 2,[getProp()]: 2,get aaa() {return "";},aba: 2,abb: 3,abc: 3,}; -
Added the new rule
noFloatingPromises. -
Added the new rule
noImportCycles. -
Added the new rule
noTsIgnore. -
Added the new rule
noUnwantedPolyfillio. -
Added a format option
expandfor Javascript and JSON formatters. The option allows to enforce the formatting of arrays and objects on multiple lines, regardless of their length. It has three options:When set to
auto(default), objects are expanded if the first property has a leading newline. Arrays are collapsed when they fit to a single line. For example, both styles below are considered as already formatted:const obj = {foo: "bar",};const obj = { foo: "bar" };When set to
always, objects and arrays are always expanded.When set to
never, objects and arrays are never expanded when they fit in a single line. It is equivalent to Prettier’s Object Wrap option withcollapse. -
The nursery rule
noUnresolvedImportshas been added.Importing a non-existing export is an error at runtime or build time. With this rule, Biome can detect such incorrect imports and report errors for them.
Note that if you use TypeScript, you probably don’t want to use this rule, since TypeScript already performs such checks for you.
-
The rule
noFocusedTestscan now detect the usage of focused tests inside loops.// invaliddescribe.only.each([["a"], ["b"]])("%s", (a) => {});it.only.each([["a"], ["b"]])("%s", (a) => {});test.only.each([["a"], ["b"]])("%s", (a) => {});// validdescribe.each([["a"], ["b"]])("%s", (a) => {});it.each([["a"], ["b"]])("%s", (a) => {});test.each([["a"], ["b"]])("%s", (a) => {}); -
Linter groups now accept new options to enable/disable all rules that belong to a group, and control the severity of the rules that belong to those groups.
For example, you can downgrade the severity of rules that belong to
"style"to emit"info"diagnostics:{"linter": {"rules": {"style": "info"}}}You can also enable all rules that belong to a group using the default severity of the rule using the
"on"option:{"linter": {"rules": {"complexity": "on"}}} -
Biome assist is a new feature of the Biome analyzer. The assist is meant to provide **actions **. Actions differ from linter rules in that they aren’t meant to signal errors.
The assist will provide code actions that users can opt into via configuration or via IDEs/editors, using the Language Server Protocol.
The assist is enabled by default. However, you can turn if off via configuration:
{"assist": {"enabled": false}}You can turn on the actions that you want to use in your configuration. For example, you can enable the
useSortedKeysaction like this:{"assist": {"actions": {"source": {"useSortedKeys": "on"}}}}Alternatively, IDE/editor users can decide which action to apply on save directly from the editor settings, as long as the assist is enabled.
For example, in VS Code you can apply the
useSortedKeysaction when saving a file by adding the following snippet insettings.json:{"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {"source.biome.useSortedKeys": "explicit"}}In Zed, you can achieve the same by adding the following snippet in
~/.config/zed/settings.json:{"code_actions_on_format": {"source.biome.useSortedKeys": true}} -
Biome migrate eslint outputs a better overriding behavior.
A Biome rule can have multiple ESLint equivalent rules. For example, useLiteralKeys has two ESLint equivalent rules: dot-notation and @typescript-eslint/dot-notation.
Previously, Biome wouldn’t always enable a Biome rule even if one of its equivalent rules was enabled. Now Biome uses the higher severity level of all the equivalent ESLint rules to set the severity level of the Biome rule.
The following ESLint configuration…
{"rules": {"@typescript-eslint/dot-notation": "error","dot-notation": "off"}}…is now migrated to…
{"linter": {"rules": {"complexity": {"useLiteralKeys": "error"}}}}…because
erroris higher thanoff. -
Add useSymbolDescription.
-
Enhanced the command
migrate eslint. Now the command shows which ESLint rules were migrated, and which rules aren’t supported yet../eslint.config.js migrate ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ℹ 42% (3/7) of the rules have been migrated.ℹ Migrated rules:- getter-return- prefer-const- @typescript-eslint/require-awaitℹ Rules that can be migrated to an inspired rule using --include-inspired:- @typescript-eslint/parameter-propertiesℹ Rules that can be migrated to a nursery rule using --include-nursery:- @typescript-eslint/switch-exhaustiveness-checkℹ Stylistic rules that the formatter may support (manual migration required):- semiℹ Unsupported rules:- block-scoped-varconfiguration ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ℹ Migration results:- ./biome.json: configuration successfully migrated. -
Suppression of syntax rules
Added support for suppressing syntax rules. Syntax rules are particular rules meant **to complement the parser **, hence they can’t be configured.
Biome now allows to suppress those rules. This can, for example, be useful in case the rule is affected by a bug. However, this is more an escape hatch, so if a syntax rule requires a suppression, please file an issue.
Example:
// biome-ignore syntax/correctness/noTypeOnlyImportAttributes: bugimport type { MyType } from "my-esm-pkg" with { "resolution-mode": "import" };Biome now requires all
biome-ignore-startsuppressions to have an equivalentbiome-ignore-endcomment. -
Add a new lint rule
noConstantBinaryExpression. This rule is inspired from ESLint’s no-constant-binary-expression rule. -
The CLI options
--onlyand--skipnow accept rule and action names without prefixing the group name.Previously
--only=noDebuggerwas rejected. You had to add the group name:--only=suspicious/noDebugger. -
Fixed #3574:
noUnusedImportsnow reports empty named imports and suggests their removal.The rule now suggests the removal of empty named imports such as:
import {} from "mod"; -
Added the new rule
useAdjacentGetterSetter, which enforces getters and setters for the same property to be adjacent in class and object definitions.Example (Invalid): Name getter and setter are not adjacent:
class User {get name() {return this._name;}constructor() {}set name(value) {this._name = value;}}**Example (Invalid): Getter should go before the setter.
const user = {set name(value) {this._name = value;},get name() {return this._name;},};Example (Valid): Name getter and setter are adjacent:
class User {get name() {return this._name;}set name(value) {this._name = value;}get age() {return this._age;}set age(age) {this._age = age;}} -
Added new rule useConsistentResponse which suggests to use static Response.json() and Response.redirect() methods instead of
new Responsewhen possible.Example:
new Response(JSON.stringify({ value: 1 }));Response.json({ value: 1 }); -
Biome users can now configure code actions from linter rules as well as assist actions directly in the settings of their IDE/editor.
For example, let’s consider the lint rule
noSwitchDeclarations, which has an unsafe fix. Previously, if you wanted to use this rule, you were “forced” to enable it via configuration, and if you wanted to apply its fix when you saved a file, you were forced to mark the fix as safe:{"linter": {"rules": {"correctness": {"noSwitchDeclarations": {"level": "error","fix": "safe"}}}}}Now, you can benefit from the code action without making the fix safe for the entire project. IDEs and editors that are LSP compatible allow to list a series of “filters” or code actions that can be applied on save. In the case of VS Code, you will need to add the following snippet in the
settings.json:{"editor.codeActionsOnSave": {"quickfix.biome.correctness.noSwitchDeclarations": "explicit"}}Upon save, Biome will inform the editor the apply the code action of the rule
noSwitchDeclarations. -
Fixed #3401:
noUnusedImportsnow keeps comments separated from the import with a blank line.For example:
// Orphan comment// Header commentimport {} from "mod"; -
Added a new
propertyAssignmentoption to thenoParameterAssignrule. This option allows to configure whether property assignments on function parameters are permitted. By default,propertyAssignmentis set toallow. Setting it todenyenforces stricter immutability by disallowing property mutations on function parameters. -
The formatter option
bracketSpacingis now also supported in JSON files. -
useValidTypeofnow accepts comparisons with variables.Previously, the rule required to compare a
typeofexpression against anothertypeofexpression or a valid string literal. We now accept more cases, notably comparison against a variable:if (typeof foo === bar) {// ...} -
Added the new rule
noNestedComponentDefinitions, which disallows nested component definitions in React components.This rule is useful for preventing potential performance issues and improving code readability by ensuring that components are defined at the top level.
Example (Invalid):
function ParentComponent() {function ChildComponent() {return <div>Hello</div>;}return <ChildComponent />;}Example (Valid):
function ChildComponent() {return <div>Hello</div>;}function ParentComponent() {return <ChildComponent />;} -
Added the new rule
noDestructuredProps, which disallow the use of destructured props in Solid projects. -
You can now enable lint rules using the default severity suggested by Biome using the new variant
"on", when enabling a rule.For example, the default severity of the rule
style.noVariserror, so you would use"on", and then linting a code that usesvar, will result in an error:{"linter": {"recommended": false,"rules": {"style": {"noVar": "on"}}}}main.js var name = "tobias";The command
biome lint main.jswill result in an error due to the default severity assigned tonoVar.Refer to the documentation page of each rule to know their suggested diagnostic severity, or use the command
biome explain <RULE_NAME>:Terminal window biome explain noVar -
Biome VCS integration now supports nested ignore files.
For
git, if a.gitignoreis found in a nested folderroot/packages/foo/, and it contains the patterndist/, only files and directories insideroot/packages/foo/distare matched. -
Added the rule useUniqueElementIds. This rule disallows the use of static IDs in React components. It encourages to generate unique IDs for accessibility purposes using
useId.The following code is now reported as invalid:
function App() {return <div id="static-id" />;}The following code is now reported as valid:
import { useId } from "react";function App() {const id = useId();return <div id={id} />;} -
Added the new JavaScript rule
useConsistentObjectDefinitionrule. The rule enforces a consistent style for the definition of objects:By default, the rule enforces a shorthand style:
const validShorthand = {// Property shorthandfoo,// Method shorthandmethod() {return "method";},};Alternatively, the rule can be configured to enforce an explicit style:
const invalidExplicit = {// Basic property shorthand violationsfoo: foo,// Method shorthand violationsmethod: function () {return "method";},}; -
Introduced more advanced logging capabilities:
Every Biome CLI command can now be passed a
--log-file=<path>argument, which will write all log messages for that invocation to the given path instead ofstdout.In addition, the
--log-levelparameter now also accepts atracingvalue. When--log-level=tracingis used, Biome also prints timing information from tracing spans to the log.Combined with Biome’s ability to print logs in JSON format, and the
jqcommand line utility, this allows you to perform advanced analysis on Biome’s internal performance.For example, if you want to figure out which paths take the longest when building the module graph, you can use the following commands:
Terminal window biome lint --log-level=tracing --log-kind=json --log-file=tracing.jsoncat tracing.json | jq '. | select(.span.name == "update_module_graph") | { path: .span.path, time_busy: .["time.busy"], time_idle: .["time.idle"] }' > filtered.jsonNow you will have a file called
filtered.jsonwith all the relevant timings, together with the paths used during the invocations. -
Added options to
suspicious/noConfusingLabelsto allow specific labels. -
Fixed #4549: noUnknownProperty now accepts more known CSS properties.
['anchor-default', 'anchor-scroll', 'inset-area', 'position-animation', 'position-fallback', 'position-fallback-bounds', 'position-try-options']['anchor-scope', 'interpolate-size', 'line-fit-edge', 'masonry', 'masonry-auto-tracks', 'masonry-direction', 'masonry-fill', 'masonry-flow', 'masonry-slack', 'masonry-template-areas', 'masonry-template-tracks', 'position-anchor', 'position-area', 'position-try-fallbacks', 'position-visibility', 'scroll-start-target', 'text-box', 'view-transition-class', 'view-transition-group']This change replaces deprecated properties, improving CSS validation.
-
LSP clients can now override the configuration path for each workspace, by responding to
workspace/configurationrequests. -
Added the new CSS rule
noImportantStyles, which prevents the use of!importantinside CSS declarations. -
Biome now emits a warning diagnostic if the configuration contains an out-of-sync schema URL.
-
Introduced a new configuration setting
files.experimentalScannerIgnores.This setting may be used to configure a set of file and folder names that should be unconditionally ignored by Biome’s scanner.
Biome maintains an internal list of default ignore entries, which is based on user feedback and which may change in any release. This setting allows overriding this internal list completely.
This is considered an advanced feature that users should not need to tweak themselves, but they can as a last resort. This setting can only be configured in root configurations, and is ignored in nested configs.
Entries must be file or folder names. Specific paths and globs are not supported.
Examples where this may be useful:
{"files": {"experimentalScannerIgnores": [// You almost certainly don't want to scan your `.git` folder, which// is why it's already ignored by default:".git",// But the scanner does scan `node_modules` by default. If you// *really* don't want this, you can ignore it like this:"node_modules",// But it's probably better to ignore a specific dependency.// For instance, one that happens to be particularly slow to scan:"RedisCommander.d.ts",],},}Please be aware that rules relying on the module graph or type inference information may be negatively affected if dependencies of your project aren’t (fully) scanned.
-
Added the new rule useSingleJsDocAsterisk which enforces JSDoc comment lines to start with a single asterisk.
// Invalid/**** Description*/// Valid/*** Description*/ -
The CLI flag
--javascript-attribute-positionwas renamed to--javascript-formatter-attribute-positionfor consistency. -
Introduced the
domainslinter feature. The Biome linter now has a new way to opt-in rules, with a concept calleddomains.Domains can be seen as concepts shared by different rules.
You can enable and disable multiple rules that belong to a domain. When you assign
"all", Biome will enable all the rules, when you assign"none", Biome will disable the rules, when you assign “recommended”, Biome will enable all rules of the domain that are recommended.biome.jsonc {linter: {domains: {test: "all", // all rules that belong to this domain are enabledreact: "recommended", // only the recommended rules from this domain are enabledsolid: "none", // rules related to Solid are disabled},},}New domains introduced:
test: it will enable rules:noExportsInTestnoExcessiveNestedTestSuitesnoDuplicateTestHooksnoFocusedTestsAnd it will inject the following globals:afterafterAllafterEachbeforebeforeEachbeforeAlldescribeitexpecttest
next: it will enable rules for Next.js projects:useExhaustiveDependenciesuseHookAtTopLevelnoImgElementnoHeadImportInDocumentnoHeadImportInDocument
react: it will enable rules for React projects:useExhaustiveDependenciesuseHookAtTopLevel
solid: it will enable rules for Solid projects:noReactSpecificProps
For more information regarding how Biome enables rules via domains, please refer to the documentation page of each rule.
-
Biome now prints diagnostics sorted by their severity. The order is the following:
- information
- warning
- error
This means that error diagnostics are printed last, so users can see them first.
-
Added the new rule
useIterableCallbackReturn, which enforces consistent return values in iterable callbacks.The following methods require a return value in their callback:
everyfilterfindfindIndexfindLastfindLastIndexflatMapmapreducereduceRightsomesorttoSorted—from(when called onArray)
The rule disallows a return value inside the callback of the method
forEach.Examples:
[].map(() => {// Missing return value});[].forEach(() => {return 1; // Disallowed}); -
Added the new rule
noReactPropAssign, based on the react-hooks rule react-hooks/react-compilerThe following code is now reported as invalid:
function Foo(props) {props.bar = `Hello ${props.bar}`;return <div>{props.bar}</div>;}The following code is now reported as valid:
function Foo({ bar }) {bar = `Hello ${bar}`;return <div>{bar}</div>;} -
Added new rule
noBitwiseOperators, which disallows bitwise operators. -
The Biome analyzer now supports a new top-level suppression. These suppression have to be placed at the top of the file, and they must be followed by two newlines (
\n\n\).The analyzer rules specified inside the block comment will be suppressed for the whole file.
In the example, we suppress the rules
lint/style/useConstandlint/suspicious/noDebuggerfor the whole file:main.js /*** biome-ignore-all lint/style/useConst: i like let* biome-ignore-all lint/suspicious/noDebugger: needed now*/let path = "/path";let _tmp = undefined;debugger;In this other example, we suppress
lint/suspicious/noEmptyBlockfor a whole CSS file:/**/* biome-ignore-all lint/suspicious/noEmptyBlock: it's fine to have empty blocks*/a {}span {}A new diagnostic is emitted if
biome-ignore-allsuppression isn’t placed at the top of the file:file.js:3:1 suppressions/incorrect ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━! Top level suppressions can only be used at the beginning of the file.2 │ let foo = 2;> 3 │ /**│ ^^^> 4 │ * biome-ignore-all lint/style/useConst: reason> 5 │ */│ ^^6 │ let bar = 33;i Rename this to biome-ignore2 │ let foo = 2;3 │ /**> 4 │ * biome-ignore-all lint/style/useConst: reason│ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^5 │ */6 │ let bar = 33; -
Added the new rule
useNumericSeparators, which encourages the use of numeric separators to improve readability. -
useImportExtensions now checks imports with sub extensions.
- import 'styles.css'+ import 'styles.css.ts' -
It’s possible to override the option
files.maxSize. This option is helpful if you need to process specific files that exceed the defaultmaxSize:{"overrides": [{"includes": ["dist/**"]"files": {"maxSize": 20000}}]} -
Added the new CLI option called
--threadsto thecicommand. It allows to control the numbers of threads that can be used when using the Biome CLI.It’s possible to use the environment variable
BIOME_THREADSas an alternatives.This feature is useful when running the CLI in environments that have limited resources, for example CI/CD.
Terminal window biome ci --threads=1BIOME_THREADS=1 biome ci -
Added the new rule
useObjectSpread, which prefers object spread syntax overObject.assign()when constructing new objects.Example (Invalid): Using Object.assign with an empty object:
Object.assign({}, foo);Object.assign({}, { foo: "bar" });Example (Invalid): Using Object.assign with object literal as first argument:
Object.assign({ foo: "bar" }, baz);Object.assign({}, baz, { foo: "bar" });Example (Valid): Using object spread syntax:
({ ...foo });({ ...baz, foo: "bar" });Example (Valid): Modifying existing objects is allowed:
Object.assign(foo, { bar: baz });Object.assign(foo, bar, baz); -
Added an option to the
lintcommand called--suppress. The new option suppresses a violation instead of applying a rule fix. The option accepts a string that is used as reason of the suppression comment.When running the following command, it will add the suppression comment:
Terminal window biome lint --write --suppress="Migration to Biome"debugger;foo == bar;// biome-ignore lint/suspicious/noDebugger: Migration to Biomedebugger;// biome-ignore lint/suspicious/noDoubleEquals: Migration to Biomefoo == bar; -
Add an
ignoreRestSiblingsoption intonoUnusedVariables.When this option is set to
false, the rule will not ignore variables that created using the rest pattern:{"linter": {"rules": {"correctness": {"noUnusedVariables": {"level": "error","options": {"ignoreRestSiblings": false}}}}}}const { lorem, ...test } = bar; // the variable "test" will trigger the ruleconsole.log(lorem); -
Upgraded some unsafe fixes to safe fixes.
The following rules have now a safe fix:
-
Added support for monorepos. The feature will work out of the box for the majority of the users. If your project has nested configuration files, use the command
biome migratefrom the root of the project.Monorepo support in Biome is done in a single way. Create a
biome.jsonat the root of the project. This configuration file is now called the root configuration. Then, each nested configuration file must specify the new field"root": false.We also introduced a new microsyntax for extending a nested configuration from the root configuration, which is
"extends": "//". This new syntax means “this config extends from the root config”. When using this microsyntax, you may omit the"root": falsefield as it is implied.Note that nested configs are not required to extend from the root config, and you can still have independent nested configs, as well as nested configs that extend from other files. In those cases,
"root": falsemust be specified explicitly. -
Added support for formatting
.htmlfiles. The formatting is considered **experimental, ** and it’s only opt-in via configuration:{"html": {"formatter": {"enabled": true}}}Biome formatter attempts to format as Prettier, however some default options might differ.
An option
html.formatter.selfCloseVoidElementsallows to control whether the trailing/of void elements should be printed.By default, Biome formatter will remove the
/:<input /><input>If you come from Prettier and you want to keep the same formatting behaviour, you should set the option to
"always":{"html": {"formatter": {"selfCloseVoidElements": "always"}}}<input><input />Use to the command
biome migrate prettierto apply this change automatically. -
Added an unsafe fix to the rule
useExhaustiveDependencies.For example, this violation will provide the following code fix:
import { useEffect } from "react";function MyComponent() {let a = 1;useEffect(() => {}, [a]);}× This hook specifies more dependencies than necessary: a3 │ function MyComponent() {4 │ let a = 1;> 5 │ useEffect(() => {}, [a]);│ ^^^^^^^^^6 │ }7 │i This dependency can be removed from the list.3 │ function MyComponent() {4 │ let a = 1;> 5 │ useEffect(() => {}, [a]);│ ^6 │ }7 │i Unsafe fix: Remove the extra dependencies from the list.5 │ ··useEffect(()·=>·{},·[a]);│ - -
The rule
useExhaustiveDependenciesnow reports a diagnostic when the dependency list is not an array literal. -
Added the new rule
useIndexOf, based on the unicorn rule prefer-array-index-of -
Added a new rule
useExhaustiveSwitchCases, which detects any missing cases for switch statements. Currently, it supports only literal union types.For example:
type Day =| "Monday"| "Tuesday"| "Wednesday"| "Thursday"| "Friday"| "Saturday"| "Sunday";const day: Day = "Monday";let result = 0;switch (day) {case "Monday": {result = 1;break;}}The switch statement is missing other cases than
'Monday', which will cause a runtime error. To fix this issue, add missing cases or a default case to the statement. -
Fixed #4416: The rules
useExportTypeanduseImportTypenow ignore TypeScript declaration files. -
Added the new rule
useForComponent.This rule enforces usage of Solid’s
<For />component for mapping an array to JSX elements. -
Added new lint rule
noShadow, a port of eslint’sno-shadow.This rule disallows variable declarations from shadowing variables declared in an outer scope. For example:
const foo = 1;function bar() {const foo = 2; // This variable shadows the outer foo} -
Add
styleoption for the useImportType rule.The rule now allows enforcing an import style for importing types. See the rule documentation for more details.
-
Added the new rule
useJsonImportAttributeto enforce the use of import attributes for JSON modules.This rule ensures that all imports of
.jsonfiles include thewith { type: "json" }assertion, which is required to inform the JavaScript runtime that the imported file should be parsed as JSON.import jsonData from './data.json';import jsonData from './data.json' with { type: "json" };import jsonData from './data.json' with { someOtherAttribute: "value" };import jsonData from './data.json' with { type: "json", someOtherAttribute: "value" };This rule is based on the proposal in issue #6043.
-
useLiteralKeys now handles numeric keys and is declared as being the same rule as the ESLint no-useless-computed-key rule.
-
useNamingConmventionnow ignores unused variables prefixed with an underscore_.This avoids conflicts with the unsafe fix of
noUnusedVariables. The following code is now accepted because the variable is unused and prefixed with an underscore.const _Unknown_Style = 0; -
The package now requires
v2of the WebAssembly packages. The internal APIs of Workspace are nowcamelCase. -
The rule useArrayLiterals now provides a code fix.
const xs = new Array();const xs = [];The code fix is currently marked as unsafe. We plan to make it safe in a future release of Biome.
-
The command
migrateis now able to migrate nested configuration files. -
Added the new rule
noRestrictedElements, which prevents use of the specified HTML elements and components. -
Added the new lint rule
noAwaitInLoop.
Patch Changes
-
Fix #5001, where the CSS formatter removes whitespace from selector preceded by a comment

Add @vitest/eslint-plugin to list of Biome rule sources
-
Fixed
useHookAtTopLevelrule to properly detect React components wrapped inmemoandforwardRef, and correctly handle property accessors in control flow analysis.The rule now correctly identifies hooks in components like:

Fixed a bug with the
--verboseCLI flag. Now the printed paths are relative to the working directory. -
Fixed
noNoninteractiveElementToInteractiveRolemistakenly flagging<li role="treeitem">, -
Fixed #4622: Our JavaScript parser can now gracefully handle situations where we detect the parser to have stalled.
This means we don’t fail with an assertion anymore, but invalid code can trigger a regular diagnostic in such cases.
-
Fixed #342: The JavaScript parser now correctly handles invalid object member names, such as:
({params: { [paramName: string]: number } = {}}) -
Fixed #6211: previously the import organizer emitted broken code when it merged an import at the start of the file with another import and placed the merged result after a third import.

-
Fixed a bug where passing
--max-diagnostics=0would return a zero code even when errors were emitted. -
Fixed a bug where Biome didn’t report any error when
--stdin-file-pathdidn’t have any extension. Now Biome returns an error if--stdin-file-pathdoesn’t have an extension. -
Fixed #5601: The
useSortedClassesrule now properly preserves the original JSX quote style when sorting utility classes, preventing syntax errors. -
The fix for
useSelfClosingElementswas marked as safe and the error message was improved. -
Fixed overrides that include language-specific settings from having an effect for some languages
-
Fixed #6144: noUnusedImports reported incorrectly imports that were used as the type of parameters with the same name. In the following code, the import
namewas reported as unused.import name from "mod";function f(name: name.Readable): void {} -
The lint rules
useNamingConventionanduseFilenamingConventionnow accept character escapes at the start of a regex group.Both these rules provide options that allow matching names against a regular expression. Previously, an escaped character at the start of a regex group reported an error. They are now accepted.
For example, the following configuration is now valid doesn’t emit an error anymore.
{"linter": {"rules": {"style": {"useNamingConvention": {"level": "on","options": {"conventions": [{"selector": {"kind": "let"},"match": "(\\n.*)"}]}}}}}} -
Fixed #5617: noDuplicateObjectKeys now transfers the leading comments of the removed member.

-
Fixed #4950: Resolved a false positive of character class range operators in regular expressions.
-
Fixed handling of top-level variables by
useExplicitTyperule (#5932). Biome now allows all variables with explicit annotations, as well as variables with trivial RHS. Biome no longer emits duplicated errors when an untyped function is assigned to an untyped variable. -
Fixed #4947: The
useTemplatelint rule now ignores concatenated literals folded to multiple lines. -
Fixed #4568: Broken import statements no longer can cause a panic in
useExhaustiveDependencies. -
Fixed #6042:
noUselessEscapeInStringnow reports useless escapes after skipping ${ in template literals. -
Fixed #6229 where the fix of
noUnusedImportsemitted an invalid syntax. Now the following case emits a code fix that is syntactically correct:import Used, { NotUsed } from "foo";Used(); -
Fix #5682: Object patterns with a nested assignment pattern no longer break properties.
For example, the following code:
const { foo: { bar } = { bar: false } } = props;is used to be formatted into:
const { foo: { bar } = { bar: false } } = props;, while Prettier does not expand properties in this case.
-
Fixed #5620, noConsole rule now correctly handles indirect
console.logcalls and references. -
When pulling code actions from the LSP, now the first choice suggested by the client will be the safe fix.
-
Fixed #6022, now the rule
noDuplicatePropertiesdoesn’t trigger properties defined inside the@keyframesat rule -
Enhanced the error message of the diagnostics emitted when Biome can’t parse a suppression comment.

noUnknownFunctionwhere thetechfunction was incorrectly flagged as an unknown function. -
Fixed #4511: noLabelWithoutControl now detects
<button>tags as input. -
Fixed #6039:
noUselessEscapeInStringno longer reports\${escape in template literals. -
Fixed #5985, which caused the import organizer to fail the merging of a default import with a named import. The following code is now correctly organized:
import moment from 'moment';import { Moment } from 'moment';import moment, { Moment } from 'moment'; -
Fixed an issue where the
explaincommand didn’t the diagnostic category when a rule was explained. -
Improved the diagnostic of the rule
noUnusedVariables. The rule message now provides the name of the unused binding. -

JsxAttributeInitializerClause, ensuring that fragments inside expressions like<A b=<></> />are preserved. -
Fixed #4533:
noUnknownPseudoClassno longer reports pseudo classes after a webkit scrollbar pseudo element.The following code will no longer report a diagnostic:
::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb:hover {} -
Updates the
useJsxKeyInIterablerule to more closely match the behavior of the ESLint plugin (e.g. mark the whole fragment as incorrect when no key is present). This also adds the option to check shorthand fragments (<></>) -
Renamed the rule
noDuplicatedFieldstonoDuplicateFields. Run the commandbiome migrateto update your configuration. -
Fixed an issue where ignored files were incorrectly tracked by the Daemon.
-
Fixed #5116: noUnknownPseudoElement now supports
::slotted. -
Fixed #5979:
biome searchnow correctly skips files that don’t match the pattern’s target language. -
Fixed #4323: Fixed the case where
useSemanticElementaccidentally showed recommendations forrole="searchbox"instead ofrole="search". -
Support setting
indent_sizetotabin.editorconfig, the following config will not cause error:root = true[*]indent_size = tab -
Fixed #4565: noControlCharactersInRegex no longer panics when it encounters an unterminated unicode escape sequence.
-
Fixed #5770, Biome’s configuration file is now respected by the
migratecommand during migration -
Fixed an issue where the lexer didn’t report errors for unterminated regex or string literals, such as the following cases:
"string'str/\\217483 -
The
useKeyWithClickEventsrule has been improved with better support for ARIA roles.Key improvements:
-
Accessibility checks:
Now the rule correctly handles the following cases:
- If an element is hidden from screen readers
- If an element has the presentation role
- If an element is interactive
// No errors<div aria-hidden="true" onClick={() => {}} /> // hidden from screen reader<div role="presentation" onClick={() => {}} /> // presentation role<button onClick={() => {}} /> // interactive roleThis change ensures the rule is more accurate and helpful.
-
Checks spread syntax:
Spread syntax used to be ignored, but has been changed to be pointed out for more stringent checking.
// Errors<div {...props} onClick={() => {}} />// No errors<div {...props} onClick={() => {}} onKeyDown={foo} />; -
Refactor:
Now the rule uses the aria roles to determine if an element is interactive.
The changes shown here are meant to be closer to the original jsx-eslint’s
click-events-have-key-eventsrule.
-
-
Fixed #6029: A new line before the semicolon in the previous statement is now kept after formatting.
For example, the following code:
const foo = 3;[1, 2, 3].map((x) => x * 2);when
javascript.formatter.semicolonsisalways, it becomes:const foo = 3;[1, 2, 3].map((x) => x * 2);when
javascript.formatter.semicolonsisasNeeded, the original code is considered as already formatted. -
useArrayLiterals now reports all expressions using the
Arrayconstructors.Previously, the rule reported only use of the
Arrayconstructor in expressions statements.// This was reportednew Array();// This was not reportedconst xs = new Array(); -
Improved error handling for the container at-rule.
-
Fixed #4665: the LSP previously identified
.cjsfiles as ESM files, making rules likenoRedundantUseStrictreports incorrectly valid"use strict"directives. -
Fixed #5382:
useExportTypeno longer reports an identifier that bound by both a variable and a type. -
Fixed #5826:
useNumericSeparatorsno longer reports single-digit0. -
Fixed #5307, where CSS value lists were wrapped in a way that did not preserve semantic structure.
Biome now ensures that CSS value lists follow a more readable format, aligning with Prettier’s behavior.
Before:
* {box-shadow:0 0 0 1px #fff,0 0 0 3.2px rgba(89, 89, 235, 0.25),0 0 0 3.2px rgba(89, 89, 235, 0.25),0 0 0 3.2px red,0 0 0 3.2px rgba(89, 89, 235, 0.25);}After:
* {box-shadow:0 0 0 1px #fff,0 0 0 3.2px rgba(89, 89, 235, 0.25),0 0 0 3.2px rgba(89, 89, 235, 0.25),0 0 0 3.2px red,0 0 0 3.2px rgba(89, 89, 235, 0.25);} -
tsconfig.*.jsonfiles will now be treated the same astsconfig.jsonfiles. -
The
summaryreporter now prints the files processed and the files fixed when passing the--verboseflag. -
Fixed #5693:
useRegexLiteralsnow correctly handle useless escaped character in string literals. -
useRegexLiterals now suggests a correct fix when the pattern contains an escaped anti-slash
\/.Previously the rule suggested the following fix that led to a syntax error:
new RegExp("\/");/\\//The rule now suggests a correct fix:
new RegExp("\/");/\//Fixed #5487.
-
Fixed
useConsistentCurlyBraces breaks react/no-unescaped-entities ruleAdded a check for forbidden characters:
>,",'and}. If any of these characters are detected, curly braces will be preserved.Example:
function MyComponent() {return <Foo>Jupiter {">"} Venus</Foo>;} -
The rule
useNamingConventionnow suggests a rename that preserves uppercase if possible.For instance, Biome suggested renaming
HTMLWrapperashtmlWrapper:import HTMLWrapper from "HTMLWrapper.tsx";import htmlWrapper from "HTMLWrapper.tsx";function component() {return <HTMLWrapper> </HTMLWrapper>;return <htmlWrapper> </HTMLWrapper>;}Since both
PascalCaseandCamelCaseare accepted, Biome now suggests renamingHTMLWrapperasHtmlWrapper:import HTMLWrapper from "HTMLWrapper.tsx";import HtmlWrapper from "HTMLWrapper.tsx";function component() {return <HTMLWrapper> </HTMLWrapper>;return <HtmlWrapper> </HTMLWrapper>;} -
Fix a parsing error when a
JsxElementNameisJsxMemberExpression, and aJsLogicalExpressionbefore it without a semicolon.The following case will now not throw error:
import React from "react";let b = 0;function A() {const a = b > 0 && b < 1;return <React.Fragment>{a}</React.Fragment>;} -
Fixed Biome being unable to parse
insert_final_newline = unsetin EditorConfig files. -
Fixed #4530: useArrowFunction now preserves directives.
Previously the rule removed the directives when a function expression was turned into an arrow function. The rule now correctly keeps the directives.
const withDirective = function () {const withDirective = () => {"use server";return 0;} -
Fixed #4855: useSortedClasses now suggests code fixes that match the JSX quote style of the formatter.
