- Requires ESLint >=5.16.0
Note: It recommends a use of the "engines" field of package.json. The "engines" field is used by node/no-unsupported-features/* rules.

This plugin provides three configs:
- plugin:node/recommendedconsiders both CommonJS and ES Modules. If- "type":"module"field existed in package.json then it considers files as ES Modules. Otherwise it considers files as CommonJS. In addition, it considers- *.mjsfiles as ES Modules and- *.cjsfiles as CommonJS.
- plugin:node/recommended-moduleconsiders all files as ES Modules.
- plugin:node/recommended-scriptconsiders all files as CommonJS.
Those preset config:
- enable no-process-exit rule because the official document does not recommend a use of process.exit().
- enable plugin rules which are given ⭐ in the above table.
- add {ecmaVersion: 2019}and etc intoparserOptions.
- add proper globals into globals.
- add this plugin into plugins.
- Q: The no-missing-import/no-missing-requirerules don't work with nested folders in SublimeLinter-eslint
- A: See context.getFilename() in rule returns relative path in the SublimeLinter-eslint FAQ.
eslint-plugin-node follows semantic versioning and ESLint's Semantic Versioning Policy.
- Patch release (intended to not break your lint build)
- A bug fix in a rule that results in it reporting fewer errors.
- Improvements to documentation.
- Non-user-facing changes such as refactoring code, adding, deleting, or modifying tests, and increasing test coverage.
- Re-releasing after a failed release (i.e., publishing a release that doesn't work for anyone).
 
- Minor release (might break your lint build)
- A bug fix in a rule that results in it reporting more errors.
- A new rule is created.
- A new option to an existing rule is created.
- An existing rule is deprecated.
 
- Major release (likely to break your lint build)
- A support for old Node version is dropped.
- A support for old ESLint version is dropped.
- An existing rule is changed in it reporting more errors.
- An existing rule is removed.
