You'll first need to install ESLint:
$ npm i eslint --save-dev
Next, install eslint-plugin-only-warn
:
$ npm install eslint-plugin-only-warn --save-dev
Note: If you installed ESLint globally (using the -g
flag) then you must also install eslint-plugin-only-warn
globally.
Add only-warn
to the plugins section of your .eslintrc
configuration file:
{
"plugins": ["only-warn"]
}
Add --max-warnings=0
to the lint script in your package.json.
"lint": "eslint --max-warnings=0 ...",
This will make eslint cli report an errorcode which can be detected in git hook or CI pipeline.
Tip: Use husky and lint-staged te prevent committing eslint warnings.
- Don't waste time thinking or discussing about if it should be an error or a warning, focus on enabling of disabling a rule
- Warnings look different in editors, this allows you to quickly see that some tweaking is required, but your code still runs (eslint rules generally don't block the code from executing)
- Prevents noise, disallowing warnings to be committed in a codebase prevents clutter in the output of eslint (and use special eslint comments for the instances when you need an exception to the rule)
