eslint-closest-cli (DEPRECATED)

DEPRECATED (already!)

I recommend just using eslint-cli, which updates the eslint command itself to match the most desirable behavior (calling local eslint if available)

Wrapper for ESLint CLI. Finds the closest copy of ESLint to the current working directory and executes it.

This can be useful if you use a monorepo project structure like the following, in which the parent project is responsible for ESLint config (including locally-installed ESLint) and the child project simply inherits it:

PARENT_PROJECT
  \
  package.json [package.json with "eslint"]
  .eslintrc
  CHILD_PROJECT
    \
    package.json [package.json without "eslint"]

In such a case, tools that check for $(npm-bin)/eslint, or that add $(pwd)/node_modules/.bin to the PATH, can't find the local ESLint CLI and end up falling back to a global install.

Installation

npm install -g eslint-closest-cli

Usage

Pass along any options that you would ordinarily pass directly to eslint, e.g.:

eslint-closest-cli --help

eslint-closest-cli *.js
