Code Linting

TalkCody integrates Biome for code linting, providing real-time code quality detection similar to VSCode.

Requirements

The Lint feature requires one of the following:

bun (recommended) - Faster execution speed
Node.js - Falls back to npx if bun is unavailable

Make sure bun or Node.js is installed on your system and accessible from the terminal.

Supported Languages

Extension	Language
`.js`	JavaScript
`.jsx`	JSX
`.ts`	TypeScript
`.tsx`	TSX
`.json`	JSON
`.jsonc`	JSON with Comments
`.css`	CSS
`.html`	HTML

Note: Biome does not currently support SCSS, Less, Markdown, and other file types.

Basic Usage

Automatic Detection

The editor automatically runs code checks at the following times:

On file open - Initial check runs automatically
On file save - Checks immediately after saving
On content change - Delayed check after editing stops (default 1 second)

Detected issues are displayed with squiggly lines in the editor:

Red squiggly lines - Errors
Yellow squiggly lines - Warnings

Problems Panel

Click the diagnostic badge in the editor header (showing error/warning counts) to open the problems panel:

View all diagnostic information
Filter issues by severity level
Click on an issue to jump to the corresponding code location

Settings

Open TalkCody Settings, find the "Code Linting" tab to configure:

Option	Description
Enable Code Linting	Global toggle
Show Errors	Whether to display error-level diagnostics
Show Warnings	Whether to display warning-level diagnostics
Show Info	Whether to display info-level diagnostics

Custom Rules

Lint automatically reads the biome.json configuration file in the project root directory (if it exists).

You can create this file to customize linting rules, for example:

{
  "$schema": "https://biomejs.dev/schemas/1.9.4/schema.json",
  "linter": {
    "enabled": true,
    "rules": {
      "recommended": true,
      "suspicious": {
        "noExplicitAny": "warn"
      },
      "style": {
        "useConst": "error"
      }
    }
  }
}

For more configuration options, refer to the Biome official documentation.
