Requirements

This library requires Node.js 4+.

Usage

Pa11y Lint Config provides some linter config files which can be included in your project.

ESLint

To use the ESLint config files, first install this module and ESLint, saving them to development dependencies:

npm install --save-dev eslint pa11y-lint-config

Now you should create .eslintrc.js and .eslintignore files in your project root. The command below provides some defaults which should be enough for most new Pa11y projects:

printf "coverage\n" > .eslintignore
printf "'use strict';\n\nmodule.exports = require('pa11y-lint-config/eslint/2015');\n" > .eslintrc.js

If your project uses ES5 syntax (should mostly be browser or legacy projects), then you'll need to include eslint/legacy instead of eslint/2015:

printf "'use strict';\n\nmodule.exports = require('pa11y-lint-config/eslint/legacy');\n" > .eslintrc.js

If your project uses more modern syntax (including async/await), then you'll need to include eslint/2017 instead of eslint/2015:

printf "'use strict';\n\nmodule.exports = require('pa11y-lint-config/eslint/2017');\n" > .eslintrc.js

If your project contains a mix of ES6 and ES5 (e.g. Node.js and browser) then you can include different config files in each directory.
