Other tools
List of other tools used in the project.
It's my personal opinion to use every tool available that can help standardize the codebase and improve code quality.
While it may seem a bit daunting at first, (many tools, strict rules) this is aimed at reducing developers cognitive load.
Once the tools are setup, the developer can focus on writing code and let the tools handle the rest: formatting, default styles and linting.
No more fighting about code style.
pre-commit
Add hooks to the git repository to run linters, formatters, nx commands and other scripts before every phase.
syncpack
keep package.jsons in sync across multiple projects and organized.
commitlint
ensure commits are following the conventional commit format. Attached to pre-commit hook.
cz-git
provide an easy to use CLI interface to create conventional commits.
Linters / formatters
java
- spotless
- openrewrite
- checkstyle
- google-java-format
ts
- prettier
- eslint
- biome (experimental, hopefully can replace eslint + prettier in 2025)
css/scss
html
note: vscode extension and browser microsoft-edge have builtin functionalities to provide additional lints and suggestions for accessibility
vitepress
serve with pnpm docs:dev
pnpm
pnpm is used to speed up the installation of the dependencies and save time in CI.
the file {root}/pnpm-workspace.yaml is used to define the packages.
TIP
while pnpm workspaces is not required for nx to work, it's needed by some tools like changesets which depend on it to provide intellisense when adding packages
