eslint-config-ignw

This package provides IGNW's .eslintrc as an extensible shared config for standarized linting of Javascript, NodeJS and Typescript projects.

How to consume this package in your project

Install peer dependencies for this package as dev dependencies for your project. Note that installing prettier isn't strictly neccessary but will allow your editor to autoformat your code based off configured eslint rules.

Create an .eslintrc or .eslintrc.js file in your project and inherit this packages configs using the extends property:

{
    "extends": "eslint-config-ignw"
}

If you only want a specific subset of linter rules you can do so like:

 "extends": [
    "eslint-config-ignw/react",
  ],

Finally add an npm run script for running the linter and automatically fixing auto fixable issues

"scripts": {
    "lint": "eslint . --ext .js,.jsx,.ts,.tsx",
    "lint:fix": "eslint . --ext .js,.jsx,.ts,.tsx . --fix"
  },

How to develop this package

Development

Install package development dependencies

npm install

Update the rules in base.js or add another subset of rules by creating a file (e.g. react.js) and extending that in index.js to export those new rules by default.

Testing / Self Linting

When developing you can lint the package itself by linking and consuming the local version of the package and then running the linter command for the package:

npm link
npm link eslint-config-ignw
npm run lint:fix

Similary to test out the changes to the linting package from another package, first run

npm link

from the eslint-config-ignw directory, and then in the consuming package

npm link eslint-config-ignw

Finally run the consuming packages lint command to test out your changes.

Publishing

Checkout a branch, code and commit changes, get code reviewed and approved.

Once the code is approved update the packages version (using semver style) by running

npm version X.Y.Z

Log into to your npm account

npm login

Then publish the package to npm for public consumpation:

npm publish

How this package works

The folks at ESLint were kind enough to provide developer docs for shared eslint configs.

For an example of a mature eslint config see the AirBnB eslint config package.
