Tools Used

• eslint
• eslint plugin

Setup

Local / Per Project Install

1. If you don't already have a package.json file, create one with npm init.

2. Then we need to install everything needed by the config:

npx install-peerdeps --dev eslint-config-mikebruns

3. You can see in your package.json there are now a big list of devDependencies.

4. Create a .eslintrc file in the root of your project's directory (it should live where package.json does). Your .eslintrc file should look like this:

{
  "extends": [
    "mikebruns"
  ]
}

Tip: You can alternatively put this object in your package.json under the property "eslintConfig":. This makes one less file in your project.

5. You can add two scripts to your package.json to lint and/or fix:

"scripts": {
  "lint": "eslint .",
  "lint:fix": "eslint . --fix"
},

6. Now you can manually lint your code by running npm run lint and fix all fixable issues with npm run lint:fix. You probably want your editor to do this though.

7. Add the eslint plugin to vscode. Then add to vscode's JSON settings

"editor.formatOnSave": true,
// turn it off for JS and JSX, we will do this via eslint
"[javascript]": {
  "editor.formatOnSave": false
},
"[javascriptreact]": {
  "editor.formatOnSave": false
},
// tell the ESLint plugin to run on save
"eslint.autoFixOnSave": true,

This will automatically update files upon save based on eslint rules defined.
