We want to work with beautiful, nicely formatted code, so with the help of eslint we aim to enforce it - as much as we can. In an ideal world everybody would write such high quality code. Until we reach this state to standardise code formatting the eslint plugin can be a great help.
npm install eslint eslint-config-server-shiwaforce --save-dev
If you've installed eslint-config-server-shiwaforce locally within your project create the eslint.config.js file at the root of your node project. (see details on the eslint page)
import eslintConfigServerShiwaforce from 'eslint-config-server-shiwaforce';
export default [
eslintConfigServerShiwaforce,
...
];
Run the linter by executing the command below:
./node_modules/.bin/eslint server/**/*.js
In case of a global installation the start the linter with...
eslint server/**/*.js
If running eslint gives a message indicating that running eslint --init
is necessary then you created the .eslintrc file in the wrong place.
This command does NOT walk the entire dependency tree based on require
-s or import
-s, it only walks the file or files listed here. Of course, wild card characters can be used. For more information please visit the dedicated page at eslint (cli docs)
Add the "rules"
key to your config then add your additional/override rules. For example, if you want to change the "indent"
and "eol-last"
rules from default to your own add this:
import eslintConfigServerShiwaforce from 'eslint-config-server-shiwaforce';
export default [
eslintConfigServerShiwaforce,
{
rules: {
'indent': [2, 'space'],
'eol-last': [0]
}
}
];
