Linting files

CLI

Linting every file as you save it is nice, but we can also format all source files at once using ESLint CLI.

In the package.json, add a lint script to lint files matching the mask, and to write them back to disk. Also add lint:ci script to check for existing issues in CI.

{
  "scripts": {
    "lint": "eslint '**/*' --fix",
    "lint:ci": "yarn lint --output-file tmp/eslint/report.json --format json"
  }
}

Staged files on commit

Whenever we work with files locally, we might accidentally commit them without proper linting.

That's where Git hooks and linting staged files comes in handy. To consistently lint all files before committing and then commit changes, we recommend using husky + lint-staged combination of tools.

yarn add -D husky lint-staged

Now configure pre-commit hook to run Prettier against staged JavaScript files.

Create .huskyrc.json with the following content.

{
  "hooks": {
    "pre-commit": "lint-staged"
  }
}

Create .lintstagedrc.json with the following content.

{
  "**/*": ["eslint --fix", "git add"]
}

See lint-staged code formatting documentation.

You can skip the Git pre-commit hook by committing with -n flag.

VSCode

Install ESLint VSCode extension called dbaeumer.vscode-eslint.

1. Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P)
2. Run the following command

ext install dbaeumer.vscode-eslint

Because you might have global settings related to code formatting, we suggest having in each repository a file with local workspace VSCode settings. Commit this file .vscode/settings.json to source control to make sure everyone uses the same extension to format the code.

.vscode/settings.json

{
  "editor.defaultFormatter": "dbaeumer.vscode-eslint",
  "editor.formatOnSave": true,
  "eslint.enable": true,
  "eslint.alwaysShowStatus": true,
  "eslint.autoFixOnSave": true
}

Tips

Ignoring files

Sometimes you have files that should not be formatted, use .eslintignore to ignore files.
