Hello everyone, i've been working on Kotlin server application for a while now and i am thinking of adding automated linting checks on future PRs. I've searched a bit on the internet what linting plugins are available for Kotlin. I could not find anything that is official Jetbrains developed. So the question is: 1. Are there any plans of developing an official linting library for Kotlin? 2. Are there any recommendations from Kotlin team what linting library developers should use?

Detekt is a popular one, #detekt. Another one is KtLint, but it doesn’t really do a lot of automated linting checks more auto-formatting. For auto-formatting there is also KtFmt. All 3 can work nicely together. There is also support for Detekt to automatically make comments for code smells etc on Git platforms.

JetBrains recently announced Qodana: https://www.jetbrains.com/qodana/jvm/

That works specifically for JVM, no? Or doesn’t it also offer help for Kotlin specific linting ?

@edrd It is perfect for my use-case since i am developing on jvm.
