Eslint Watch
Don't want to import Webpack, Grunt, or some other task package into your project? Then this is the tool for you. Eslint Watch is a simple command line tool that wraps Eslint. Eslint Watch provides file watching and command line improvements to the currently existing Eslint command line interface. All commands that Eslint offers can be used with the addition of a watch command and a couple new templating views. Don't believe me? Checkout the code or some of the features below!
Requirements
To use this tool we require eslint to be installed on your project. The versions supported are:
"eslint": ">=8 <9.0.0"
node >= 12.0.0 <= LTS
Non LTS versions will have limited support.
Getting started
To run eslint-watch without the global install, make an npm script.
Installing
npm i -g eslint eslint-watch
ornpm i -D eslint eslint-watch
yarn global add eslint eslint-watch
oryarn add -D eslint eslint-watch
Features added
- Watching
- Multi-directory watching
- Runs a full directory lint before the watch
- Press
enter
to rerun directory lint while watching - Include directories to ignore on watch
- Eslint Overrides
- Default directory linting. A directory is no longer required.
