@digitalsilk/eslint-plugin v0.9.2
ESLint Plugin
ESLint plugin including configurations and custom rules for WordPress development.
Installation
Install the module
npm install @wordpress/eslint-plugin --save-devNote: This package requires node 12.0.0 or later, and npm 6.9.0 or later. It is not compatible with older versions.
Usage
To opt-in to the default configuration, extend your own project's .eslintrc file:
{
"extends": [ "plugin:@wordpress/eslint-plugin/recommended" ]
}Refer to the ESLint documentation on Shareable Configs for more information.
The recommended preset will include rules governing an ES2015+ environment, and includes rules from the eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y, eslint-plugin-react, and eslint-plugin-prettier projects. It also includes an optional integration with @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin that gets activated when the typescript package is installed in the project.
There is also recommended-with-formatting ruleset for projects that want to opt out from Prettier. It has the native ESLint code formatting rules enabled instead.
Rulesets
Alternatively, you can opt-in to only the more granular rulesets offered by the plugin. These include:
customes5esnextjsdocjsx-a11yreacti18ntest-e2etest-unit
For example, if your project does not use React, you could consider extending including only the ESNext rules in your project using the following extends definition:
{
"extends": [ "plugin:@wordpress/eslint-plugin/esnext" ]
}These rules can be used additively, so you could extend both esnext and custom rulesets, but omit the react and jsx-a11y configurations.
The granular rulesets will not define any environment globals. As such, if they are required for your project, you will need to define them yourself.
