eslint-format

This format plugin for Atom IDE provides an interface to eslint. It will be used with files that have the "JavaScript" syntax.

Installation

apm install eslint-format

eslint-format will look for a version of eslint local to your project and use it if it's available. If none is found it will fall back to the version it ships with.

Lets say you depend on a specific version of eslint, maybe it has unreleased features, maybe it's just newer than what eslint-format ships with. If your-project/node_modules/eslint exists eslint-format will be used. This package requires an eslint of at least v1.0.0.

Note that you must have the atom-ide-ui package, or any package that consumes the code-format.range Service API, installed for this to work.

Use with plugins

You have two options:

• Install locally to your project eslint and the plugin

  • $ npm i --save-dev eslint [eslint-plugins]

• Install globally eslint and plugins

  • $ npm i -g eslint [eslint-plugins]
  • Activate Use Global Eslint package option
  • (Optional) Set Global Node Path with $ npm config get prefix

Using ESLint

Note that recent versions of ESLint do not use any rules by-default. This means you have to specify a configuration file for your project!

To do this in a straightforward way run this:

eslint --init

Alternatively you can create the .eslintrc.json file by yourself. It is a good idea to have a look at the ESLint documentation, including the list of rules.

A Note About Settings

Atom will try to find a local installation in the project folder, look if there's ESLint in ${PROJECT_ROOT}/node_modules and use it if found.

The path to the local node_modules folder can be a path relative to the project or an absolute path and should end in /node_modules/. This path is used if the other methods of discovery have failed.

If there is no local installation Atom will use the built-in ESLint in the eslint-format package itself.
