ESLint

ESLint is an open source project originally created by Nicholas C. Zakas in June 2013. Its goal is to provide a pluggable linting utility for JavaScript. Adding it to all your projects and setting up a linter plugin in your code editor may help you write more maintainable code.

Installation

• Install the Atom Linter plugin

• Install the Atom ES-Lint Plugin

• In your project add the linter plugins to your package.json file.

"devDependencies": {
    "babel-eslint": "^7.1.1",
    "eslint": "^3.15.0",
    "eslint-config-airbnb": "^14.1.0",
    "eslint-plugin-import": "^2.2.0",
    "eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y": "^2.2.3",
    "eslint-plugin-react": "^6.9.0"
}

• Install the dependencies:

npm install

• In your project folder create a .eslintrc file. It is recommended that you follow the AirBnB style guide. When writing ES5 Javascript add the following:

{
  "extends": "airbnb/legacy",
  "rules": {
    "no-plusplus": 0
  }
}
