This is an open source project for linting Solidity code. This project provides both Security and Style Guide validations.

Installation

You can install Solhint using npm:

npm install -g solhint

# verify that it was installed correctly
solhint -V

Usage

First initialize a configuration file, if you don't have one:

solhint init-config

This will create a .solhint.json file some default rules enabled. Then run Solhint with one or more Globs as arguments. For example, to lint all files inside contracts directory, you can do:

solhint "contracts/**/*.sol"

To lint a single file:

solhint contracts/MyToken.sol

Solhint command description:

Usage: solhint [options] <file> [...other_files]

Linter for Solidity programming language


Options:

  -V, --version                              output the version number
  -f, --formatter [name]                     report formatter name (stylish, table, tap, unix)
  -w, --max-warnings [maxWarningsNumber]     number of warnings to trigger nonzero
  -c, --config [file_name]                   file to use as your .solhint.json
  -q, --quiet                                report errors only - default: false
  --ignore-path [file_name]                  file to use as your .solhintignore
  -h, --help                                 output usage information



Commands:

  stdin [options]         put source code to stdin of this utility
  init-config             create sample solhint config in current folder

Configuration

You can use a .solhint.json file to configure Solhint globally.

To generate a new sample .solhint.json file in current folder you can do:

solhint init-config

This file has the following format:

  {
    "extends": "solhint:default",
    "plugins": [],
    "rules": {
      "const-name-snakecase": "off",
      "avoid-suicide": "error",
      "avoid-sha3": "warn",
      "avoid-tx-origin:": "warn",
      "not-rely-on-time": "warn",
      "not-rely-on-block-hash": "warn"
    }
  }

A full list of all supported rules can be found here.

To ignore files / folders that do not require validation you may use .solhintignore file. It supports rules in .gitignore format.

node_modules/
additional-tests.sol

Configure linter with comments

You can use comments in the source code to configure solhint in a given line or file.

For example, to disable all validations in the line following a comment:

  // solhint-disable-next-line
  uint[] a;

You can disable rules on a given line. For example, to disable validation of time and block hash based computations in the next line:

  // solhint-disable-next-line not-rely-on-time, not-rely-on-block-hash
  uint pseudoRand = uint(keccak256(abi.encodePacked(now, blockhash(block.number))));

Disable validation on current line:

  uint pseudoRand = uint(keccak256(abi.encodePacked(now, blockhash(block.number)))); // solhint-disable-line

Disable validation of time and block hash based computations on current line:

   uint pseudoRand = uint(keccak256(abi.encodePacked(now, blockhash(block.number)))); // solhint-disable-line not-rely-on-time, not-rely-on-block-hash 

You can disable a rule for a group of lines:

  /* solhint-disable avoid-tx-origin */
  function transferTo(address to, uint amount) public {
    require(tx.origin == owner);
    to.call.value(amount)();
  }
  /* solhint-enable avoid-tx-origin */

Or disable all validations for a group of lines:

  /* solhint-disable */
  function transferTo(address to, uint amount) public {
    require(tx.origin == owner);
    to.call.value(amount)();
  }
  /* solhint-enable */
