I want to add custom validation rules to SonarLint JS in the Visual Studio Code plugin is this possible?

Hi Omar,

Adding custom rules in SonarLint is not supported for the JS language. If you can think of interesting rules that are missing in SonarLint, please suggest, and we could possibly add them.

Hi @11136,

Still no support for custom rules for JS. Instead, don’t hesitate to suggest your rule ideas.

Hi,

What you are talking about is not what we call “custom rules”. Custom rules are extending SonarSource analyzers (reusing the same parsing/AST) to produce new issues. It requires the SonarSource analyzer to expose an API.

In addition to custom rules, SonarQube offers a way to import external issues that have been detected by other tools (like ESLint in your example) as a convenient way to browse all issues in the same UI.
In VSCode (and IDE in general) this doesn’t apply because SonarLint can not “orchestrate” the execution on the third party analyzer anyway.

If you have custom ESLint rules, why not simply using the VSCode ESLint extension?

I suggest you start a new thread, after reading the existing documentation:
