grunt-eslintignore

Latest version Dependency status Coverage

Loads .eslintignore for being used in the options of grunt-eslint. Helps keeping the configuration at a single place.

See grunt-eslint-config for reusing the whole eslint configuration.

How It Works

Let's say that you let all JavaScript files in your project checked as simply as possible by eslint '**/*.js'. You'll use .eslintignore to exclude generated files and build tools. This setup allows using IDE extensions with eslint. However, if you use grunt for building your project, you'll find that grunt-eslint doesn't use .eslintignore. You'd have to duplicate the ignored patterns in the Gruntfile, when specifying the file patterns to check. You'll be able to reuse .eslintignore , when configuring the eslint task:

const { readEslintIgnoreFileSync } = require('grunt-eslintignore')

module.exports = grunt => {
  grunt.initConfig({
    eslint: {
      options: { overrideConfigFile: '.eslintrc.cjs' },
      validate: ['**/*.js'].concat(readEslintIgnoreFileSync())
    }
  })

  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-eslint')
  grunt.registerTask('default', ['eslint'])
}

The contents of .eslintignore, for example:

dist/
node_modules/

The array of ignore patterns returned by readEslintIgnoreFile is ready to be used as grunt exclusion file patterns, for example:

[
  "!dist/**/*",
  "!node_modules/**/*"
]

Installation

This module can be installed in your project using NPM, PNPM or Yarn. Make sure, that you use Node.js version 16 or newer.

$ npm i grunt grunt-eslint@^24 grunt-eslintignore
$ pnpm i grunt grunt-eslint@^24 grunt-eslintignore
$ yarn add grunt grunt-eslint@^24 grunt-eslintignore

Files .eslintignore were deprecated in eslint 9. If you use them, you probably pin eslint to ^8 and grunt-eslint to ^24.

API

interface ReadEslintIgnoreOptions {
  // Override the default file name (`.eslintignore`).
  ignoreFileName?: string

  // Override the default current working directory (returned by `process.cwd()`).
  currentWorkingDir?: string

  // The root directory of the current project. It's the directory with `package.json`,
  // where `.eslintignore` is expected. It can be an absolute path or a path relative
  // to `currentWorkingDir`.
  //
  // If this property isn't set, the project directory will be looked by traversing
  // the current working directory and its ancestors until `package.json` is found.
  // The check for `package.json` and going up wil be repeated on `maxDepthToRoot` times.
  projectRootDir?: string

  // How many times will `package.json` be looked up and if not found,
  // go up to the parent directory. The default value is `10`.
  maxDepthToRoot?: number
}

// Reads the contents of `.eslintignore` and returns an array of exclusion patterns
// for grunt tasks. If no `.eslintignore` file is found, an empty array will be returned.
// 
// options: see `ReadEslintIgnoreOptions`
function readEslintIgnoreFile(options?: ReadEslintIgnoreOptions): Promise<string[]>

// Reads the contents of `.eslintignore` and returns an array of exclusion patterns
// for grunt tasks. If no `.eslintignore` file is found, an empty array will be returned.
// 
// options: see `ReadEslintIgnoreOptions`
function readEslintIgnoreFileSync(options?: ReadEslintIgnoreOptions): string[]
