Generator-eslint-init NPM

generator-eslint-init

Yeoman generator to get eslint up and running in your project with your favorite preset (and with plugins if you want)

Install

npm install --global yo generator-eslint-init

Usage

# nope, it will do nothing, just install eslint and babel-eslint into your project
yo eslint-init

# install eslint with your favorite preset
yo eslint-init airbnb

# another one
yo eslint-init airbnb/legacy

# even with plugins
yo eslint-init airbnb --plugins react
yo eslint-init airbnb --plugins react,require-path-exists

# and short notation
yo eslint-init airbnb -p react,require-path-exists

Composability

Composability is a way to combine smaller parts to make one large thing. Sort of like Voltron®
— Yeoman docs

Just plug in eslint-init into your generator and let it setup your .eslintrc.json and install required devDependencies for you. Everybody wins.

Install

npm install --save generator-eslint-init

Compose

The whole options.config will be saved into .eslintrc.json. Items from extends and plugins fields will be installed as devDependencies into your project with proper package names.

this.composeWith('eslint-init', { options: {
  'skip-install': this.options['skip-install'],
  config: {
    extends: 'airbnb',
    plugins: ['require-path-exists']
  }
}}, {
  local: require.resolve('generator-eslint-init')
});

Improvements / Contributing

extend existing eslint config, and do not overwrite it
ability to specify versions to not depend on network to extend package.json devDependencies section
let to save in different locations: package.json, .eslintrc.yml or .eslintrc.js, not only in .eslintrc.json
