Linters 📝

Writing AsyncAPI specifications isn’t just about describing messages and channels - it’s about following the rules your company or team has agreed on. Consistency, correctness, and compliance matter. A lot.

That’s why the plugin now integrates seamlessly with the most popular AsyncAPI/API linters:

• Redocly CLI
• Spectral CLI

Both use a simple, powerful workflow: Install the CLI → configure rules → lint automatically while editing or manually on demand.

You can even decide which files should be validated using familiar ignore files:

• .spectralignore
• .redoclyignore

Both follow the same syntax as .gitignore, giving you precise control over what gets validated and what gets skipped.

With built-in validation, you ensure every spec stays clean, consistent, and aligned with your team’s best practices.
