| ## <a name='Installation'></a>Installation |
| |
| You'll first need to install [ESLint](https://eslint.org): |
| |
| ```sh |
| npm i eslint --save-dev |
| ``` |
| |
| Next, install `eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin`: |
| |
| ```sh |
| npm install eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin --save-dev |
| ``` |
| |
| ## <a name='Usage'></a>Usage |
| |
| Here's an example ESLint configuration that: |
| |
| - Enables the `recommended` configuration |
| - Enables an optional/non-recommended rule |
| |
| Note: you might need to set `sourceType` to `module` or `script` depending on your codebase. |
| |
| ```js |
| // eslint.config.js |
| import eslintPlugin from 'eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin'; |
| |
| export default [ |
| eslintPlugin.configs.recommended, |
| { |
| rules: { |
| 'eslint-plugin/require-meta-docs-description': 'error', |
| }, |
| }, |
| ]; |
| ``` |

| ### <a name='Semanticversioningpolicy'></a>Semantic versioning policy |
| |
| The list of recommended rules will only change in a major release of this plugin. However, new non-recommended rules might be added in a minor release of this plugin. Therefore, using the `all`, `rules`, and `tests` presets is **not recommended for production use**, because the addition of new rules in a minor release could break your build. |
| |
| ### <a name='Presetusage'></a>Preset usage |
| |
| Example of applying the `recommended` config to all files. |
| |
| ```js |
| // eslint.config.js |
| import eslintPlugin from 'eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin'; |
| |
| export default [eslintPlugin.configs.recommended]; |
| ``` |
| |
| Or to apply linting only to the appropriate rule or test files: |
| |
| ```js |
| // eslint.config.js |
| import eslintPlugin from 'eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin'; |
| |
| export default [ |
| { |
| files: ['lib/rules/*.{js,ts}'], |
| ...eslintPlugin.configs['rules-recommended'], |
| }, |
| { |
| files: ['tests/lib/rules/*.{js,ts}'], |
| ...eslintPlugin.configs['tests-recommended'], |
| }, |
| ]; |
| ``` |
