This package checks that table rows have initial and final delimiters. Tables are a GFM feature enabled with [`remark-gfm`][github-remark-gfm]. ## When should I use this? You can use this package to check that tables are consistent. ## Presets This plugin is included in the following presets: | Preset | Options | | - | - | | [`remark-preset-lint-markdown-style-guide`](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-lint/tree/main/packages/remark-preset-lint-markdown-style-guide) | | ## Install This package is [ESM only][github-gist-esm]. In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][npm-install]: ```sh npm install remark-lint-table-pipes ``` In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esm-sh]: ```js import remarkLintTablePipes from 'https://esm.sh/remark-lint-table-pipes@5' ``` In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esm-sh]: ```html ``` ## Use On the API: ```js import remarkLint from 'remark-lint' import remarkLintTablePipes from 'remark-lint-table-pipes' import remarkParse from 'remark-parse' import remarkStringify from 'remark-stringify' import {read} from 'to-vfile' import {unified} from 'unified' import {reporter} from 'vfile-reporter' const file = await read('example.md') await unified() .use(remarkParse) .use(remarkLint) .use(remarkLintTablePipes) .use(remarkStringify) .process(file) console.error(reporter(file)) ``` On the CLI: ```sh remark --frail --use remark-lint --use remark-lint-table-pipes . ``` On the CLI in a config file (here a `package.json`): ```diff … "remarkConfig": { "plugins": [ … "remark-lint", + "remark-lint-table-pipes", … ] } … ``` ## API This package exports no identifiers. It exports no additional [TypeScript][typescript] types. The default export is [`remarkLintTablePipes`][api-remark-lint-table-pipes]. ### `unified().use(remarkLintTablePipes)` Warn when GFM table rows have no initial or final cell delimiter. ###### Parameters There are no options. ###### Returns Transform ([`Transformer` from `unified`][github-unified-transformer]). ## Recommendation While tables don’t require initial or final delimiters (the pipes before the first and after the last cells in a row), it arguably does look weird without. ## Fix [`remark-stringify`][github-remark-stringify] with [`remark-gfm`][github-remark-gfm] formats all tables with initial and final delimiters. ## Examples ##### `ok.md` ###### In > 👉 **Note**: this example uses > GFM ([`remark-gfm`][github-remark-gfm]). ```markdown Small table: | Planet | Mean anomaly (°) | | :- | -: | | Mercury | 174 796 | ``` ###### Out No messages. ##### `not-ok.md` ###### In > 👉 **Note**: this example uses > GFM ([`remark-gfm`][github-remark-gfm]). ```markdown Planet | Mean anomaly (°) :- | -: Mercury | 174 796 ``` ###### Out ```text 1:1: Unexpected missing closing pipe in row, expected `|` 1:26: Unexpected missing opening pipe in row, expected `|` 2:1: Unexpected missing closing pipe in row, expected `|` 2:8: Unexpected missing opening pipe in row, expected `|` 3:1: Unexpected missing closing pipe in row, expected `|` 3:18: Unexpected missing opening pipe in row, expected `|` ``` ##### `missing-cells.md` ###### In > 👉 **Note**: this example uses > GFM ([`remark-gfm`][github-remark-gfm]). ```markdown Planet | Symbol | Satellites :- | - | - Mercury Venus | ♀ Earth | ♁ | 1 Mars | ♂ | 2 | 19 412 ``` ###### Out ```text 1:1: Unexpected missing closing pipe in row, expected `|` 1:29: Unexpected missing opening pipe in row, expected `|` 2:1: Unexpected missing closing pipe in row, expected `|` 2:11: Unexpected missing opening pipe in row, expected `|` 3:1: Unexpected missing closing pipe in row, expected `|` 3:8: Unexpected missing opening pipe in row, expected `|` 4:1: Unexpected missing closing pipe in row, expected `|` 4:10: Unexpected missing opening pipe in row, expected `|` 5:1: Unexpected missing closing pipe in row, expected `|` 5:14: Unexpected missing opening pipe in row, expected `|` 6:1: Unexpected missing closing pipe in row, expected `|` 6:22: Unexpected missing opening pipe in row, expected `|` ``` ##### `trailing-spaces.md` ###### In > 👉 **Note**: this example uses > GFM ([`remark-gfm`][github-remark-gfm]). ```markdown ␠␠Planet␠␠ ␠-:␠ ␠␠| Planet |␠␠ ␠| -: |␠ ``` ###### Out ```text 1:3: Unexpected missing closing pipe in row, expected `|` 1:11: Unexpected missing opening pipe in row, expected `|` 2:2: Unexpected missing closing pipe in row, expected `|` 2:5: Unexpected missing opening pipe in row, expected `|` ``` ##### `windows.md` ###### In > 👉 **Note**: this example uses > GFM ([`remark-gfm`][github-remark-gfm]). ```markdown Mercury␍␊:-␍␊None ``` ###### Out ```text 1:1: Unexpected missing closing pipe in row, expected `|` 1:8: Unexpected missing opening pipe in row, expected `|` 2:1: Unexpected missing closing pipe in row, expected `|` 2:3: Unexpected missing opening pipe in row, expected `|` 3:1: Unexpected missing closing pipe in row, expected `|` 3:5: Unexpected missing opening pipe in row, expected `|` ``` ## Compatibility Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained versions of Node.js. When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of Node. This means we try to keep the current release line, `remark-lint-table-pipes@5`, compatible with Node.js 16. ## Contribute See [`contributing.md`][github-dotfiles-contributing] in [`remarkjs/.github`][github-dotfiles-health] for ways to get started.
