3. Add the plugin and the rule to the ESLint config

  }
}

📦 Rules

🧾 no-line-comments

The no-line-comments rule of the @garvae/eslint-plugin-comments plugin can help you to enforce special style for Line (double slash) type comments. This rule returns an error for all comments of type Line (double slash) unless the special options of this rule (ingore*) are specified. The format of this rule can be applied if both --fix option of ESLint and fixable = true option of this rule are specified.

💪 Benefits

✔️ Automatically fixable by the --fix CLI option
✔️ Flexible settings

⚙ Options

option	description	type	default
fixable	Enables auto-fix by the --fix ESLint CLI option. Disabled by default because you may want to check all comments first	boolean	false
ignore	Defines the conditions under which a comment will be ignored by the rule	Object	undefined
ignore.startsWith	A comment will be ignored by the rule if it starts with one of the strings defined in the array of strings passed to this rule parameter.	Array<string>	undefined
ignore.includes	A comment will be ignored by the rule if it includes one of the strings defined in the array of strings passed to this rule parameter.	Array<string>	undefined
singleLineToSingleLineBlock	If this option is false (default), a 'Line' type (not 'Block' type / starred) comment will be formatted into a multi-line 'Block' type (starred) comment, otherwise the comment will be formatted into a valid single-line 'Block' type (starred) comment	boolean	false

Example (all options):

{
  "@garvae/comments/no-line-comments": [
    "error",
    {
      "fixable": true,
      "ignore": {

        "includes": ["keyword", "key-phrase"]
      },
      "singleLineToSingleLineBlock": true
    }
  ]
