eslint-config-semipretty

An ESLint config combining semistandard and prettier

Installation

• Run npx install-peerdeps --dev eslint-config-semipretty

Setup

1. Create an .eslintrc.js file in the root of your project, with the following contents:

module.exports = {
  extends: ['semipretty']
};

1. Create an .eslintignore file in the root of your project, to exclude all JavaScript files that do not need to be linted, such as generated build files and third party modules. For most projects, the simplest approach is to just copy the contents of your .gitignore file, e.g.:

build/
logs/
node_modules/

1. Add lint and lint-fix scripts to the scripts object in your package.json:

"scripts": {
  "lint": "eslint .",
  "lint-fix": "eslint . --fix"
}

Bonus: Automatically lint files on commit

husky allows you run commands automatically when Git events occur, such as when code is committed. lint-staged ensures that only new and modified files are linted, to that the process is as fast as possible.

1. Install husky: run npm install --save-dev husky lint-staged

2. Add the lint-staged and husky objects to your package.json:

"scripts": {
  "lint": "eslint .",
  "lint-fix": "eslint . --fix"
},
"lint-staged": {
  "*.js": ["eslint --fix", "git add"]
},
"husky": {
  "hooks": {
    "pre-commit": "lint-staged"
  }
}

If you're using React

• Install eslint-plugin-react: run npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-react
• In your .eslintrc.js file, add the plugin and extend the default configuration, e.g.

module.exports = {
  extends: ['semipretty', 'plugin:react/recommended'],
  plugins: ['react']
};

If you're using Jest

• Install eslint-plugin-jest: npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-jest
• In your .eslintrc.js file, add the plugin and extend the default configuration, e.g.

module.exports = {
  extends: ['semipretty', 'plugin:jest/recommended'],
  plugins: ['jest']
};

If you're using experimental JavaScript features

If you are using experimental JavaScript features such as class properties, you may encounter parsing errors which can be fixed by adding babel-eslint.

• Install babel-eslint: Run npm install --save-dev babel-eslint
• Set babel-eslint as the parser in your .eslintrc.js file, for example:

module.exports = {
  extends: ['semipretty'],
  parser: 'babel-eslint'
};
