eslint-config-eversports

Code Style

This configuration is based on the JavaScript Standard Style.

Please have a look at the rules for detailed information on the Standard Style rules.

Maybe the "no semicolons" rule jumps out the most, but the code looks really much more clean without them and one gets used to it very quickly.

See also the Additional Rules below.

Usage

Add this package to the devDependencies of your package.json. Choose the version you want to use (e.g. v1.0.0).

npm install --save-dev eslint-config-eversports

Then create a .eslintrc.json file with the following content:

{
  "extends": "eversports"
}

Now you can check if your project fulfills the defined rules:

eslint --ignore-path .gitignore .

Add this command as a script to your package.json and use the pre-commit package to add a git pre commit hook to your package.json.

Additional Rules

Require let or const instead of var

Examples

Prefer const

Use let only for variables which should be explicitly reassigned.

Examples

Maximum line length of 160 character

Do not write code lines that exceed 160 characters (which is very generous anyways).

Trailing comments or urls may exceed this limit.

Examples

Newline per chained call for chains deeper than three calls

Examples

Explicit return for multiline arrow functions

(no ESLint rule available yet)

Arrow functions allow two different forms:

param => expression

In this case, the value of the expression is returned implicitly.

param => {
  statements
}

For arrow functions with a block body, you need an explicit return statement.

Please avoid multiline arrow functions without a block body.

Examples:

// ✓ ok
promise.then(result => result.x)

// ✗ avoid
promise.then(result =>
  complexMethodCall(
    param1,
    somethingMoreComplex,
    result))

// ✓ ok
promise.then(result => {
  const param2 = somethingMoreComplex
  return complexMethodCall(
    param1,
    param2,
    result)
})

Prefer arrow functions over anonymous functions

(no ESLint rule available yet)

Arrow functions do not bind the this variable so you can use the this variable of the upper scope. You should always prefer arrow functions over anonymous functions except for cases where you explicitly need the bound this variable.
