Rule Details

Validates that node classes define an icon property in their description object. Icons are required for nodes to display correctly in the n8n editor.

Examples

❌ Incorrect

export class MyNode implements INodeType {
  description: INodeTypeDescription = {
    displayName: 'My Node',

  };
}

✅ Correct

export class MyNode implements INodeType {
  description: INodeTypeDescription = {
    displayName: 'My Node',
    name: 'myNode',
    icon: 'file:myNode.svg',
    // ...
  };
}

export class MyNode implements INodeType {
  description: INodeTypeDescription = {
    displayName: 'My Node',
    name: 'myNode',
    icon: {
      light: 'file:myNode.svg',
      dark: 'file:myNode.dark.svg',
