Stylelint is designed for CSS - the language has come a long way in the last few years and extensions like SCSS and Less are often not needed.
However, Stylelint can - through community custom syntaxes and plugins - be extended to support SCSS. The easiest way to do this is by extending the stylelint-config-standard-scss
shared config. This config, created by the SCSS community, includes the postcss-scss syntax and stylelint-scss plugin - a collection of rules specific to SCSS - and configures Stylelint's built-in rules for SCSS.
You should first install the config as a dependency:
npm i --save-dev stylelint-config-standard-scss
And then set your configuration object (e.g. your .stylelintrc.json
file) to:
{
"extends": "stylelint-config-standard-scss"
}
The problem is that when I use // for comments, it throws Unknown word (CssSyntaxError)Stylelint(CssSyntaxError).
Double slash comments (//
) are not standard CSS and can't be parsed by the CSS parser built into Stylelint, hence the syntax error. The SCSS parser included in the stylelint-config-standard-scss
shared config can parser double slash comments correctly.
