Node.js API should allow fixing a list of files in-place

[jeff-held-aiven]

What is the problem you're trying to solve?

I'm trying to use Stylelint's Node.js API to format my SCSS files programmatically. I can see that I can specify the fix option when calling lint, but this seems to be useful only if you pass code to lint (as shown in the docs). What I instead want to do is the following:

import Stylelint from 'stylelint';

await Stylelint.lint({
  files: 'src/**/*.scss',
  fix: true,
});
// Nothing else to be done; all files should be formatted and overwritten with the fixes

What solution would you like to see?

I would like to be able to do what I described, similar to what ESLint allows.

@jeff-held-aiven The combination of files and fix works now, doesn't it?

Demo

test.mjs:

import stylelint from 'stylelint';

await stylelint.lint({
	files: ['test.css'],
	config: { rules: { 'hue-degree-notation': 'angle' } },
	fix: true,
});

Run:

$ cat test.css
a {
  color: hsl(198 28% 50%);
}

$ node test.mjs

$ cat test.css
a {
  color: hsl(198deg 28% 50%);
}

$ npx stylelint -v
16.5.0

Hm, that seems to work now, and I don't know what I was doing wrong. Thanks for the help!
