eslint-config-digital-scientists

An ESLint Shareable Config for Digital Scientists developers

Installation

Global

Global installation is recommended for Digital Scientists developers. To install or upgrade the config along with its peer dependencies:

npm install -g eslint eslint-config-digital-scientists eslint-plugin-react

In your global ~/.eslintrc.json file:

{
  "extends": "digital-scientists"
}

Note that the eslint-config- portion of the module name is assumed by ESLint.

Local

A specific project can extend this definition by including eslint eslint-config-digital-scientists eslint-plugin-react as saved dev-dependencies, and defining a local .eslintrc.json. Project-level eslintrc files are recommended to be set as root, which prevents users' global configs from producing inconsistent results:

{
	"extends": "digital-scientists",
	"root": true
}

For Babel-Transpiled Projects

This config's peer dependencies (eslint, eslint-plugin-react) enable linting relatively modern files including JSX components. If you find that the linter fails to understand some early-stage ES features, you can enable parsing using Babel instead of ESLint's default parser. Install babel-eslint and set the parser option of your config:

npm install babel-eslint --save-dev

{
	"parser": "babel-eslint",
	"extends": "digital-scientists",
	"root": true
}

Extending

Any rules added to your global or local .eslintrc.json files will override the rules defined by this package. For example:

{
  "extends": "digital-scientists",
  "rules": {
    "semi": [1, "always"]
  }
}

This turns on enforcing the use of semicolons, a rule which is silenced by default in the current version of the eslint-config-digital-scientists package.

Background

The ESLint linting system is a popular one for its support of ES6 syntax, pluggable rules, automatic rule names in warning messages, and shareable / extendable config files.

Because it defaults to supporting multiple environments (e.g. Node, browsers, Jasmine, Mocha, etc.) it is probably not suitable for general production, where one might want a finer-grained and more restrictive config. However it is easy to override and extend this base config with custom rules, as explained above and in the ESLint docs.
