SonarJS

SonarJS

SonarJS inspects JavaScript, TypeScript, and CSS for bugs, vulnerabilities, and maintainability issues. Findings appear in SonarQube for IDE and in project analysis on SonarQube Server or SonarQube Cloud.

SonarJS analyzes developer-written and AI-generated code, giving teams a consistent way to verify changes before they reach production.

Contributing

Prerequisites

To work on this project, it is required to have the following tools installed:

• JDK 21
• Node.js >= 22
• npm >= 8
• Maven >= 3.8

How-to

Build the project

Install Node.js dependencies with npm ci first.

For normal local development, build with the tracked rule metadata already present in the checkout:

npm ci
mvn install

To refresh RSPEC rule data before a clean rebuild, run:

npm run rspec:refresh
mvn clean install

package.json intentionally keeps only Node-oriented workflows plus the explicit rspec:refresh entrypoint. Maven builds are meant to be invoked directly.

Request a new feature

To request a new feature, create a new thread in SonarSource Community Forum. Even if you plan to implement it yourself and submit it back to the community, please create a thread to be sure that we can follow up on it.
