Rules

Native rules ship with the Bazel binary and do not require a load statement. Native rules are available globally in BUILD files. In .bzl files, you can find them in the native module. For non-native Starlark rules that ship separately from Bazel, see the list of recommended rules.

Language-specific native rules

#macro(ruleLink $ruleFamily $rule) ${rule.ruleName} #end #foreach($ruleFamily in $langSpecificRuleFamilies) #if($ruleFamily.size() > 0) #set( $ruleTypes = [$ruleFamily.binaryRules, $ruleFamily.libraryRules, $ruleFamily.testRules, $ruleFamily.otherRules] ) #foreach($ruleType in $ruleTypes) #end #end #end

Language	Binary rules	Library rules	Test rules	Other rules
${ruleFamily.name}	#foreach($rule in $ruleType) #ruleLink($ruleFamily, $rule) #end

Language-agnostic native rules

#foreach($ruleFamily in $genericRuleFamilies) #if($ruleFamily.size() > 0) #end #end

Family	Rules
${ruleFamily.name}	#foreach($rule in $ruleFamily.rules) #ruleLink($ruleFamily, $rule) #end

#if (!$singlePage) #end
