Global installation is recommended forFullstack Education Group students. To install or upgrade the config along with its peer dependencies:

npm install -g eslint eslint-config-fullstack eslint-plugin-react babel-eslint

In your global~/.eslintrc.json file:

{"extends":"fullstack"}

Note that theeslint-config- portion of the module name is assumed by ESLint.

A specific project can extend this definition by includingeslint eslint-config-fullstack eslint-plugin-react babel-eslint as saved dev-dependencies, and defining a local.eslintrc.json. Project-level eslintrc files are recommended to be set asroot, which prevents users' global configs from producing inconsistent results:

{"extends":"fullstack","root":true}

This config now usesbabel-eslint as the parser by default. This enables linting some relatively modern code which ESLint's default parser does not handle, and was necessary for this project to lint itself. You still need to installbabel-eslint manually as it is a peer dependency of this config.

Anyrules added to your global or local.eslintrc.json files will override the rules defined by this package. For example:

{"extends":"fullstack","rules": {"semi": [1,"always"]    }}

This turns on enforcing the use of semicolons, a rule which is silenced by default in the current version of theeslint-config-fullstack package.

TheESLint linting system is a popular one for its support of ES6 syntax, pluggablerules, automatic rule names in warning messages, andshareable /extendable config files.

This npm package provides a thorough starting config file. It was developed atFullstack Academy of Code / Grace Hopper Academy to use in an educational setting, helping students to avoid definite errors but also pick up best practices.

Because it defaults to supporting multiple environments (e.g. Node, browsers, Jasmine, Mocha, etc.) it is probably not suitable for general production, where one might want a finer-grained and more restrictive config. However it is easy to override and extend this base config with custom rules,as explained above and in the ESLint docs.
