# svelte/sort-attributes

enforce order of attributes

• 🔧 The --fix option on the command line can automatically fix some of the problems reported by this rule.

# 📖 Rule Details

This rule aims to enforce ordering of attributes.
The default order is:

• this property.
• bind:this directive.
• id attribute.
• name attribute.
• slot attribute.
• --style-props (Alphabetical order within the same group.)
• style attribute, and style: directives.
• class attribute.
• class: directives. (Alphabetical order within the same group.)
• other attributes. (Alphabetical order within the same group.)
• bind: directives (other then bind:this), and on: directives.
• use: directives. (Alphabetical order within the same group.)
• transition: directive.
• in: directive.
• out: directive.
• animate: directive.
• let: directives. (Alphabetical order within the same group.)

<!-- ✓ GOOD -->
<svelte:component
  this={component}
  --style-props={color}
  bind:value={componentValue}
  on:changeValue={handleChange}
  bind:metaData
/>
<input
  bind:this={foo}
  id="foo"
  style="width: 150px;"
  style:color
  class="my-input"
  class:disable
  class:enable={!disable}
  bind:value={inputValue}
  use:action={parameters}
  transition:fn
  in:fn
  out:fn
  animate:name
/>
<slot name="content" {abc} {def} />

<!-- ✗ BAD -->
<svelte:component
  bind:value={componentValue}
  
Attribute 'this' should go before 'bind:value'. (svelte/sort-attributes)this={component}
  on:changeValue={handleChange}
  
Attribute 'def' should go before 'bind:value'. (svelte/sort-attributes){def}
  
Attribute 'data-foo' should go before 'bind:value'. (svelte/sort-attributes)data-foo
  
Attribute 'abc' should go before 'bind:value'. (svelte/sort-attributes){abc}
  bind:metaData
  
Attribute '--style-props' should go before 'bind:value'. (svelte/sort-attributes)--style-props={color}
/>
<input
  id="foo"
  
Attribute 'bind:this' should go before 'id'. (svelte/sort-attributes)bind:this={foo}
  style:color
  style="width: 150px;"
  class="my-input"
  class:enable={!disable}
  
Attribute 'class:disable' should go before 'class:enable'. (svelte/sort-attributes)class:disable
  animate:name
  
Attribute 'use:action' should go before 'animate:name'. (svelte/sort-attributes)use:action
  
Attribute 'transition:fn' should go before 'animate:name'. (svelte/sort-attributes)transition:fn
  
Attribute 'bind:value' should go before 'animate:name'. (svelte/sort-attributes)bind:value={inputValue}
  
Attribute 'in:fn' should go before 'animate:name'. (svelte/sort-attributes)in:fn
  
Attribute 'out:fn' should go before 'animate:name'. (svelte/sort-attributes)out:fn
/>
<slot name="content" {def} 
Attribute 'abc' should go before 'def'. (svelte/sort-attributes){abc}
Attribute 'data-foo' should go before 'def'. (svelte/sort-attributes) data-foo />

If there is a spread attribute between the attributes, it will not be reported as changing the order can change the behavior.

<script>
  /* eslint svelte/sort-attributes: "error" */
</script>

<!-- ✓ GOOD -->
<div c d {...attrs} a b />

<!-- ✗ BAD -->
<div d 
Attribute 'c' should go before 'd'. (svelte/sort-attributes)c
Attribute 'a' should go before 'b'. (svelte/sort-attributes) {...attrs} b a />

}

• order … Specify an array of your preferred attribute order. Array elements accept strings, string arrays, and objects.
  • String … Specify the name or pattern of the attribute.
  • String array … Specifies an array of the names or patterns of the attributes to be grouped. It will not be sorted within this same group.
  • Object … Specifies an object with a definition for sorting within the same group.
    • match … Specifies an array or string of the name or pattern of the attributes to be grouped.
    • sort … Specify the sorting method. Currently, only "alphabetical" is supported.
      • "alphabetical" … Sorts the attributes of the same group in alphabetical order.
      • "ignore" … Attributes in the same group are not sorted.

Note that the behavior may change depending on how you specify the order setting.
For example, bind:value and on:input={() => console.log(value)} behave differently depending on the order. See https://svelte.dev/docs#template-syntax-element-directives-bind-property for details.
By default it is designed to be sorted safely.

You can use the following formats for names or patterns:

• "foo" … Matches only the foo attribute name.
• "/foo/" … Matches attribute names that match the /foo/ regex. That is, it matches the attribute name including foo.
• "!foo" … Exclude foo attribute from the matched attribute names. When used first in the array or alone, matches other than the foo attribute name.
• "!/foo/" … Excludes attributes that match the /foo/ regex from the matched attribute names. When used first in the array or alone, matches an attribute name that does not match the /foo/ regex.
• ["style", "/^style:/u"] … Matches the style attribute or the attribute name that matches the /^style:/u regex.
• ["/^bind:/u", "!bind:this", "/^on:/u"] … Matches an attribute name that matches /^bind:/u and other than bind:this, or an attribute name that matches /^on:/u.
