Neutrino StandardJS Preset

@neutrinojs/standardjs is a Neutrino preset that supports linting JavaScript projects with the StandardJS ESLint config.

Features

• Zero upfront configuration necessary to start linting your project with StandardJS
• Modern Babel knowledge supporting ES modules, Web and Node.js apps
• Highly visible during development, fails compilation when building for production
• Easily extensible to customize your project as needed

Requirements

• Node.js 10+
• Yarn v1.2.1+, or npm v5.4+
• Neutrino 9 and one of the Neutrino build presets
• webpack 4
• ESLint 6 or 7

Quickstart

The fastest way to get started is by using the create-project scaffolding tool. See the Create new project docs for more details.

Don’t want to use the CLI helper? No worries, we have you covered with the manual installation.

Manual Installation

First follow the manual installation instructions for your chosen build preset.

@neutrinojs/standardjs can be installed via the Yarn or npm clients. Inside your project, make sure @neutrinojs/standardjs and eslint are development dependencies. You will also be using another Neutrino preset for building your application source code.

Yarn

❯ yarn add --dev @neutrinojs/standardjs eslint

npm

❯ npm install --save-dev @neutrinojs/standardjs eslint

After that, edit your project's .neutrinorc.js to add the preset for linting before your build preset. For example, when building your project using @neutrinojs/web:

const standardjs = require('@neutrinojs/standardjs');
const web = require('@neutrinojs/web');
 
module.exports = {
  options: {
    root: __dirname,
  },
  use: [standardjs(), web()],
};

Start the app, then check your console for any linting errors. If everything is successful, you should see no errors in the console. ESLint errors visible during development are reported, but will still continue to build and serve your project. ESLint errors during build will not build the project, and will cause the command to fail.

Yarn

❯ yarn start
 
ERROR in ./src/index.js
Module Error (from ./node_modules/eslint-loader/index.js):
 
error: Missing semicolon (semi) at src/index.js:35:51:

1 error found.
1 error potentially fixable with the `--fix` option.

npm

❯ npm start

1 error found.
1 error potentially fixable with the `--fix` option.

Project Layout

@neutrinojs/standardjs follows the standard project layout specified by Neutrino. This means that by default all project source code should live in a directory named src in the root of the project.

Building

@neutrinojs/standardjs will cause errors to fail your build when NODE_ENV is not 'development'. If you want to ease introduction of this linting preset to your project, consider only adding it to your use list during development until all linting errors have been resolved.

❯ yarn build
 
ERROR in ./src/index.js
Module Error (from ./node_modules/eslint-loader/index.js):
 
error: Missing semicolon (semi) at src/index.js:35:51:
  33 |
  34 |
> 35 | const MOUNT_NODE = document.getElementById("root")
     |                                                   ^
  36 |
  37 |
  38 |
 
1 error found.
1 error potentially fixable with the `--fix` option.

Example: ease linting into project by only enabling when NODE_ENV=development (ie: --mode development):

const standardjs = require('@neutrinojs/standardjs');
const web = require('@neutrinojs/web');
 
module.exports = {
  options: {
    root: __dirname,
  },
  use: [process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development' ? standardjs() : false, web()],
};

Middleware options

This preset uses the same middleware options as @neutrinojs/eslint. If you wish to customize what is included, excluded, or any ESLint options, you can provide an options object with the middleware and this will be merged with our internal defaults for this preset.

By default the preset configures eslint-plugin-react to target the latest version of React. If using an older version, you must explicitly pass it as in the example below.

Example: Extend from a custom configuration (it will be applied after StandardJS), turn on semicolons as being required, and set a specific React version.

const standardjs = require('@neutrinojs/standardjs');
 
module.exports = {
  options: {
    root: __dirname,
  },
  use: [
    standardjs({
      eslint: {
        // For supported options, see:
        // https://github.com/webpack-contrib/eslint-loader#options
        // https://eslint.org/docs/developer-guide/nodejs-api#cliengine
        // The options under `baseConfig` correspond to those
        // that can be used in an `.eslintrc.*` file.
        baseConfig: {
          extends: ['my-custom-config'],
          rules: {
            'babel/semi': ['error', 'always'],
          },
          settings: {
            react: {
              version: '16.5',
            },
          },
        },
      },
    }),
  ],
};

Exposing generated lint configuration via .eslintrc.js

@neutrinojs/eslint, from which this preset inherits, provides an .eslintrc() output handler for generating the ESLint configuration in a format suitable for use in an .eslintrc.js file. This allows the ESLint CLI to be used outside of building the project, and for IDEs and text editors to provide linting hints/fixes.

Create a .eslintrc.js file in the root of the project, containing:

// .eslintrc.js
const neutrino = require('neutrino');
 
module.exports = neutrino().eslintrc();

This .eslintrc.js configuration will be automatically used when running the ESLint CLI. For convenience a lint script alias can be added to your package.json, allowing linting to be run via yarn lint or npm run lint:

{
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "eslint --cache --format codeframe --ext mjs,jsx,js src"
  }
}

Projects may face a problem when their editor or IDE lints all files and highlights errors that were normally excluded from source, i.e. Neutrino's include and exclude options. This is because the ESLint CLI does not have a way to specify included and excluded files from the .eslintrc.js configuration. Instead you will need to create an .eslintignore file that controls which files should be excluded from linting.

Using your own .eslintrc.*

If instead you would prefer to use your own non-generated .eslintrc.* file, set useEslintrc to true. This will cause @neutrinojs/standardjs to only set the loader-specific configuration defaults, and leave all other linting configuration to be managed by the standalone .eslintrc.* file.

See the @neutrinojs/eslint documentation for more details.

Customizing

To override the lint configuration, start with the documentation on customization. @neutrinojs/standardjs creates some conventions to make overriding the configuration easier once you are ready to make changes.
