noConsole

Flags console.* usage.

• Category: Core
• Default: warn

Config:

rules: { noConsole: 'warn' } // 'off' | 'warn' | 'error'

Example:

console.log('debug')

Tip: Use a project logger or wrap console calls behind an environment check.

Examples

Violation:

console.warn('deprecated')

Not a violation (rule off):

// pickier.config.*
export default { rules: { noConsole: 'off' } }

Best practices

• Consider allowing console.error in CLI tools while warning on other calls
• Wrap logging behind a utility to centralize behavior and enable silencing in production
• Keep the rule at warn during adoption to avoid blocking merges
• Use environment flags to silence logs in production builds
• In libraries, forward logs to consumer-provided hooks instead of writing directly

Troubleshooting

• “I need logs in tests” — turn the rule off in test-specific configs or filter allowed methods in a follow-up custom plugin
