API Linter

API linter checks APIs defined in protobuf files. It follows Google API Design Guide.

Requirements

Installation

  • Install api-linter using go get:
go get -u github.com/googleapis/api-linter/cmd/api-linter

This installs api-linter into your local Go binary folder $HOME/go/bin. Ensure that your operating system's PATH contains the folder.

Usage

Run api-linter help to see the usage. Or run api-linter help checkproto to see how to check API protobuf files:

NAME:
   api-linter checkproto - Check protobuf files that define an API

USAGE:
   api-linter checkproto [command options] files...

OPTIONS:
   --cfg value          configuration file path
   --out value          output file path (default: stdout)
   --fmt value          output format (default: "yaml")
   --protoc value       protocol compiler path (default: "protoc")
   --proto_path value   the directory in which for protoc to search for imports (default: ".")

See this example.

Rule Configuration

The linter contains a list of core rules, and by default, they are all enabled. However, one can disable a rule by using a configuration file or in-file(line) comments.

Disable a rule using a configuration file

Example:

Disable rule core::proto_version for any .proto files.

[
   {
      "included_paths": ["**/*.proto"],
      "rule_configs": {
         "core::proto_version": {"status": "disabled"}
      }
   }
]

Disable a rule using in-file(line) comments

Example:

  • Disable rule core::naming_formats::field_names entirely for a file in the file comments.
// file comments
// (-- api-linter: core::naming_formats::field_names=disabled --)

syntax = "proto3";

package google.api.linter.examples;

message Example {
    string badFieldName = 1;
    string anotherBadFieldName = 2;
}
  • Disable rule core::naming_formats::field_names only for a field in its leading or trailing comments.
syntax = "proto3";

package google.api.linter.examples;

message Example {
    string badFieldName = 1;
    // leading comments for field `anotherBadFieldName`
    // (-- api-linter: core::naming_formats::field_names=disabled --)
    string anotherBadFieldName = 2; // trailing comments (-- api-linter: core::naming_formats::field_names=disabled --)
}
