eslint-plugin-array-plural

ESLint plugin to force usage of plural nouns to name array variables.

Installation

You'll first need to install ESLint:

npm i eslint --save-dev
yarn add eslint --dev

Next, install eslint-plugin-array-plural:

npm i eslint-plugin-array-plural --save-dev
yarn add eslint-plugin-array-plural --dev

Note: If you installed ESLint globally (using the -g flag) then you must also install eslint-plugin-array-plural globally.

Usage

Add array-plural to the plugins section of your .eslintrc configuration file. You can omit the eslint-plugin- prefix:

{
    "plugins": [
        "array-plural"
    ]
}

Then configure the rules you want to use under the rules section.

{
    "rules": {
        "array-plural/array-plural": 2
    }
}
