eslint-config

Linting ESLint

Use ESLint to lint your es6 code.

Setup

npm init @open-wc
# Upgrade > Linting

::: tip This is part of the default open-wc recommendation :::

Manual

• Install @open-wc/eslint-config

  npm add --save-dev @open-wc/eslint-config

• Adjust your package.json with the following

  {
    "scripts": {
      "lint:eslint": "eslint --ext .js,.html . --ignore-path .gitignore",
      "format:eslint": "eslint --ext .js,.html . --fix --ignore-path .gitignore"
    },
    "eslintConfig": {
      "extends": [
        "@open-wc/eslint-config"
      ]
    }
  }

What you get

This will install @open-wc/eslint-config, a config based on airbnb but allows for some specialities needed for Web Components.

• Apply linting to js and html files
• Apply linting for best practices
• Allow dynamic module imports
• Allow imports in test/demos from devDependencies
• Allow underscore dangle
• Do not prefer default exports
• Do not prefer no file extension

Usage

Run:

• npm run lint:eslint to check if any file is not correctly formatted
• npm run format:eslint to auto format your files

Running with Prettier

If you also are using Prettier, in order for your ESLint to play nicely with Prettier, you should also include eslint-config-prettier. This way, the Prettier formatting will take into account your linting rules, so you don't need to add your own overrides for Prettier if it clashes with your linting rules.

npm add --save-dev eslint-config-prettier

{
  "eslintConfig": {
    "extends": ["@open-wc/eslint-config", "eslint-config-prettier"]
  }
}

And if you want the same formatting rules as the deprecated @open-wc/prettier-config, you can add some prettier overrides in your package.json:

{
  "prettier": {
    "singleQuote": true,
    "arrowParens": "avoid"
  }
}

This combination of Prettier 2 and @open-wc/eslint-config represents the outcome if you add both linting and formatting while scaffolding with:

npm init @open-wc

<script> export default { mounted() { const editLink = document.querySelector('.edit-link a'); if (editLink) { const url = editLink.href; editLink.href = url.substr(0, url.indexOf('/master/')) + '/master/packages/eslint-config/README.md'; } } } </script>
