npm install eslint --save-dev
npm install eslint-plugin-sql --save-dev

Configuration

1. Add plugins section and specify eslint-plugin-sql as a plugin.
2. Enable rules.

    "sql"

  "rules": {
    "sql/format": [
      2,

    ]
  }
}

Settings

placeholderRule

A regex used to ignore placeholders or other fragments of the query that'd make it invalid SQL query, e.g.

If you are using ? placeholders in your queries, you must ignore \? pattern as otherwise the string is not going to be recognized as a valid SQL query.

This configuration is relevant for sql/no-unsafe-query to match queries containing placeholders as well as for sql/format when used with {ignoreTagless: false} configuration.

Rules

format

The --fix option on the command line automatically fixes problems reported by this rule.

Matches queries in template literals. Warns when query formatting does not match the configured format (see Options).

This rule is used to format the queries using sql-formatter.

Options

The first option is an object with the following configuration.

configuration	format	default	description
ignoreExpressions	boolean	false	Does not format template literals that contain expressions.
ignoreInline	boolean	true	Does not format queries that are written on a single line.
ignoreStartWithNewLine	boolean	true	Does not remove \n at the beginning of queries.
ignoreTagless	boolean	true	Does not format queries that are written without using sql tag.
retainBaseIndent	boolean	true	Uses the first line of the query as the base indent.
sqlTag	string	sql	Template tag name for SQL.

The second option is an object with the sql-formatter configuration.

configuration	default	description
useTabs	false	Use tabs for indentation.
tabSize	2	Number of spaces per indentation.
language	sql	Language of the query.
keywordCase	preserve	Determines the case of keywords (preserve, upper, lower).
dataTypeCase	preserve	Determines the case of data types (preserve, upper, lower).
denseOperators	false	Decides whitespace around operators.
identifierCase	preserve	Determines the case of identifiers (preserve, upper, lower).
functionCase	preserve	Determines the case of functions (preserve, upper, lower).

The following patterns are considered problems:

no-unsafe-query

Disallows use of SQL inside of template literals without the sql tag.

The sql tag can be anything, e.g.

• https://github.com/seegno/sql-tag
• https://github.com/gajus/mightyql#tagged-template-literals

Options

The first option is an object with the following configuration.

configuration	format	default	description
allowLiteral	boolean	false	Controls whether sql tag is required for template literals containing literal queries, i.e. template literals without expressions.
sqlTag	string	sql	Template tag name for SQL.

The following patterns are considered problems:

`SELECT 1`
// Message: undefined

`SELECT ${'foo'}`
// Message: undefined

foo`SELECT ${'bar'}`
// Message: undefined

`SELECT ?`
// Message: undefined

foo`SELECT ${'bar'}`
// Options: [{"sqlTag":"SQL"}]
// Message: undefined

The following patterns are not considered problems:

sql.unsafe`SELECT 3`

`SELECT 1`
// Options: [{"allowLiteral":true}]

sql`SELECT 1`

sql`SELECT ${'foo'}`

SQL`SELECT ${'bar'}`
// Options: [{"sqlTag":"SQL"}]
