This generator is intended to aid development within the [ESLint](https://eslint.org/) project. It is designed to work within the top-level `eslint` directory. ## Installation First and foremost, you must have [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) and npm installed. If you don't have Node.js installed, please download and install the latest version. > **Requirements** > > - Node.js ^20.19.0 || ^22.13.0 || >=24 You must also install Yeoman, if you don't have it installed already. To install Yeoman, you can run this command: ```sh npm i -g yo ``` With Node.js and Yeoman installed, you can run this command: ```sh npm i -g generator-eslint ``` ## Usage The Yeoman generator currently supports the following commands: ### eslint:plugin If you want to create a new ESLint plugin, make sure you're in the top-level directory where you want the plugin to be created and type: ```sh yo eslint:plugin ``` You'll be prompted for information about your plugin and it will generate a `package.json` file, README, and source code for a stub plugin. ### eslint:rule If you want to create a new ESLint rule, make sure you're in the top-level directory of an ESLint repo clone or an ESLint plugin and type: ```sh yo eslint:rule ``` You'll be prompted for some information and then it will generate the files necessary for a new rule, including the source file, a test file, and a documentation file. ## License and Copyright Copyright OpenJS Foundation and other contributors, [MIT License](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License) ## Sponsors The following companies, organizations, and individuals support ESLint's ongoing maintenance and development.
