Overview

ast-grep-essentials is a community-led collection of ast-grep rules to help developers mitigate security vulnerabilities and enforce best practices in their codebases.

Tip

Please read the CodeRabbit documentation to understand how to use ast-grep in CodeRabbit reviews.

The package is organized into three main directories:

  • rules: Contains ast-grep rules categorized by language and security category.
  • utils: Houses utility configs to support rule management.
  • tests: Includes test cases for validating the effectiveness of the rules across different languages.

Rules Structure

Within the rules directory, you'll find the following structure:

  • language: Each language supported by ast-grep (e.g., Python, JavaScript).
  • category: Rules categorized based on security concerns (e.g., Input Validation, Authentication).

Rule file structure

Tip

Read the ast-grep > documentation to understand the rule configuration and the rule object properties.

Each rule file should have the following structure:

# Unique across the package, not just the language
id: rule-id
# The language property that the rule is going to get matched against
language: "language" # e.g., javaScript, go
# A short description of the rule
message: "Rule message"
# A more detailed explanation of the rule
note: "Rule note"
# Severity level of the rule (e.g., hint, warning)
severity: "severity"
# ast-grep rule property, check documentation for more information
rule: ...

Tests Structure

Inside the tests directory, tests are organized by language:

  • language: Test cases specific to the corresponding language's rules.
  • rule-file: each test rule file should have by convention the rule-file-name-test.yml format.

Note

Tests should follow the ast-grep testing rules format. Please refer to the ast-grep documentation
