Code Quality

Code Quality Skill

This Skill helps maintain code quality using Biome for linting and formatting in the IsLeapYear project.

When to Use

• Fixing linting errors
• Formatting code
• Configuring Biome rules
• Organizing imports
• Resolving code style issues
• Understanding git hooks (Husky + lint-staged)
• Pre-commit quality checks

Code Quality Stack

Primary Tools:

• Biome 2.3.7 - Linting and formatting (replaces ESLint + Prettier)
• Husky 9.1.7 - Git hooks
• lint-staged 16.2.7 - Run linters on staged files
• commitlint - Enforce conventional commits

NOT Used:

• ❌ ESLint
• ❌ Prettier

Biome Commands

# Check all files for errors
bun biome check .

# Check and auto-fix issues
bun biome check --write .

# Format all files
bun biome format --write .

# Lint only (no formatting)
bun lint

Biome Configuration

Located in biome.json at project root:

Key Settings

{
  "formatter": {
    "enabled": true,
    "indentStyle": "space",
    "indentWidth": 2
  },
  "javascript": {
    "formatter": {
      "quoteStyle": "double",
      "semicolons": "always"
    }
  },
  "linter": {
    "enabled": true,
    "rules": {
      "recommended": true
    }
  },
  "organizeImports": {
    "enabled": true
  }
}

Important Rules

Disabled Rules:

{
  "style": {
    "noUnknownProperty": "off"  // Allows Tailwind @plugin syntax
  }
}

Custom Rules:

{
  "nursery": {
    "useSortedClasses": "error"  // Enforces sorted Tailwind classes
  }
}

Git Hooks (Husky)

Configured in .husky/ directory:

Pre-commit Hook

Runs lint-staged on all staged files:

#!/usr/bin/env sh
. "$(dirname -- "$0")/_/husky.sh"

bunx lint-staged

What it does:

1. Detects staged files
2. Runs Biome formatting on them
3. Blocks commit if errors found
4. Auto-fixes and stages changes

Commit Message Hook

Validates commit messages using commitlint:

#!/usr/bin/env sh
. "$(dirname -- "$0")/_/husky.sh"

bunx --no -- commitlint --edit ${1}

Valid commit format:

type(scope): subject

# Examples:
feat(api): add batch year validation endpoint
fix(ui): correct mobile navigation layout
docs(readme): update installation instructions

Commitlint Configuration

Located in .commitlintrc.json:

Valid Types

• feat - New feature
• fix - Bug fix
• docs - Documentation changes
• style - Code style (formatting, whitespace)
• refactor - Code refactoring
• perf - Performance improvements
• test - Adding tests
• build - Build system changes
• ci - CI/CD changes
• chore - Maintenance tasks
• revert - Revert previous commit

Rules

{
  "extends": ["@commitlint/config-conventional"],
  "rules": {
    "header-max-length": [2, "always", 100]
  }
}

lint-staged Configuration

Located in package.json:

{
  "lint-staged": {
    "**/*": "biome check --write --no-errors-on-unmatched"
  }
}

What it does:

• Runs on all staged files
• Auto-fixes with --write
• Ignores unmatched files
• Organizes imports
• Formats code
• Fixes linting issues

Common Tasks

1. Fix All Linting Errors

# Check for issues
bun biome check .

# Auto-fix everything
bun biome check --write .

2. Format Specific Files

# Format a single file
bunx biome format --write src/app/page.tsx

# Format a directory
bunx biome format --write src/components/

3. Organize Imports

Biome automatically organizes imports when running:

bun biome check --write .

Import order:

1. External packages
2. Internal modules (using @/ alias)
3. Relative imports
4. Type imports (if separate)

4. Skip Git Hooks (Emergency Only)

# Skip pre-commit hook
git commit --no-verify -m "emergency fix"

# Skip commit-msg validation
git commit -n -m "quick fix"

⚠️ Use sparingly - Hooks ensure code quality

5. Fix Tailwind Class Order

Biome enforces sorted Tailwind classes:

// ❌ Wrong order
<div className="text-white bg-blue-500 p-4 rounded">

// ✅ Correct order (Biome will auto-fix)
<div className="rounded bg-blue-500 p-4 text-white">

Biome vs ESLint/Prettier

Why Biome?

• ⚡ 25x faster than ESLint
• 🔧 Single tool for linting + formatting
• 📦 Zero config required
• 🎯 Built-in import organization
• 🔒 Type-safe configuration

Not Available in Biome:

• Some custom ESLint rules
• Plugin ecosystem (smaller than ESLint)

IDE Integration

VS Code

Install the official Biome extension:

{
  "editor.defaultFormatter": "biomejs.biome",
  "editor.formatOnSave": true,
  "editor.codeActionsOnSave": {
    "quickfix.biome": "explicit",
    "source.organizeImports.biome": "explicit"
  }
}

Troubleshooting

"Biome check failed"

1. Run bun biome check . to see errors
2. Run bun biome check --write . to auto-fix
3. Check biome.json for rule configuration
4. Review error messages for manual fixes

"Commit message doesn't follow convention"

Format: type(scope): subject

Example:

# ❌ Wrong
git commit -m "fixed bug"

# ✅ Correct
git commit -m "fix(api): handle invalid year parameters"

"lint-staged failed"

1. Check which files failed: bunx lint-staged
2. Run Biome directly: bun biome check --write .
3. Stage fixed files: git add .
4. Retry commit

Best Practices

1. Run checks before committing:

   bun biome check --write .
   

2. Let hooks work: Don't bypass with --no-verify unless emergency

3. Write conventional commits: Follow the type(scope): subject format

4. Fix issues immediately: Don't accumulate linting errors

5. Use auto-fix: Biome handles most issues automatically

6. Keep config minimal: Rely on Biome's recommended rules

CI/CD Integration

GitHub Actions runs checks on all PRs:

# .github/workflows/checks.yml
- name: Lint
  run: bun lint

- name: Build
  run: bun build

All PRs must:

• ✅ Pass Biome linting
• ✅ Build successfully
• ✅ Use conventional commits

Important Notes

• This project uses Bun, not npm/yarn/pnpm
• Biome configuration is in biome.json
• Git hooks are in .husky/ directory
• Commitlint config is in .commitlintrc.json
• All hooks run automatically on commit
• Biome is faster and simpler than ESLint + Prettier combined
• The project maintains strict code quality standards
