--filter

The --filter option allows you to report an arbitrary subset of your .vale.ini configuration.

A filter is an expression targeting one of the following keys defined in the rule definition: .Name, .Level, .Scope, .Message, .Description, .Extends, or .Link.

You can pass filters through the CLI as a string:

vale --filter='"heading" in .Scope' test.md

Or a local file:

vale --filter='some/path/filter.expr' test.md

Examples ##

# Filter by `.Level` and `.Name`
.Level in ["error", "suggestion"] and .Name != "demo.Cap"

# Filter by `.Extends`
.Extends=="existence"

# Filter by `.Scope`
"heading" in .Scope
