[Feature]: Configure when linting runs

[hudochenkov]

What problem does this feature solve?

While typing most of the times file has invalid syntax until developer finishes typing or editing. Running linting on invalid file shows errors, which doesn't help, because editing process is not finished by developer.

ESLint extension has this option:

• eslint.run - run the linter onSave or onType, default is onType.

I would like to see similar option for this extension.

How does this feature solve the problem?

When linting is configured to run only onSave, then developer would see less useless errors about invalid syntax. Because usually, when we save file it has valid syntax.

What are some alternatives to this feature?

I see no other alternatives.

+1, files will typically fail multiple lint rules while being worked on. For example, block-no-empty:

.new-class {

}

This displays three lines with bright red error (or warning) squiggles, which is extremely visually distracting while working.

It would be great if Stylelint provided an option to run only on save instead of while typing.
