Pluggable ESLint config for ECMAScript Next that you can import, extend and override

ESNext: Safety Checks and Best Practices with a bias toward code concision / brevity

Usage

In your js project directory:

npm install --save-dev eslint-config-esnext

And in your .eslintrc.yaml:

extends:
  - esnext

Alternatively, in your .eslintrc.js or .eslintrc.json:

{
  "extends": ["esnext"]
}

To add a git-hook to your commits, consider using husky

npm install --save-dev husky

And in your package.json:

  "scripts": {
    "precommit": "eslint ."
  }

Config

This config is biased and opinionated, and errs on the side of too many rules instead of too few. Think of this as a superset of your repo's lint config, and discard what you don't like in it. It's easy to override and disable the rules you find inconvenient.

env:
  es6: true
  commonjs: true

enables ES6 features and CommonJS modules

parser: babel-eslint

enables parsing all babel supported code

parserOptions:
  ecmaVersion: 7
  sourceType: module
  ecmaFeatures:
    impliedStrict: true
    modules: true
    experimentalObjectRestSpread: true

allows es2015 modules and es2016 object rest and spread to be parsed, and applies strict mode to all js code

  - eslint:recommended
  - plugin:import/errors
  - plugin:import/warnings
