Installation

You'll first need to install ESLint:

npm i eslint --save-dev

Next, install eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin:

npm install eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin --save-dev

Usage

Add eslint-plugin to the plugins section of your .eslintrc configuration file. You can omit the eslint-plugin- prefix:

{
    "plugins": [
        "eslint-plugin"
    ]
}

Then configure the rules you want to use under the rules section.

{
    "rules": {
        "eslint-plugin/no-deprecated-report-api": "error"
    }
}

Rules

• ✔️ if the rule belongs to the recommended configuration

Semantic versioning policy

The list of recommended rules will only change in a major release of this plugin. However, new non-recommended rules might be added in a minor release of this plugin. Therefore, the using the all, rules, and tests presets is not recommended for production use, because the addition of new rules in a minor release could break your build.

Preset usage

Presets are enabled by adding a line to the extends list in your config file. For example, to enable the recommended preset, use:

{
    "extends": [
        "plugin:eslint-plugin/recommended"
    ]
}

Or to apply linting only to the appropriate rule or test files:

{
    "overrides": [
        {
            "files": ["lib/rules/*.{js,ts}"],
            "extends": ["plugin:eslint-plugin/rules-recommended"]
        },
        {
            "files": ["tests/lib/rules/*.{js,ts}"],
            "extends": ["plugin:eslint-plugin/tests-recommended"]
        },
    ]
}
