ESLint-plugin-React
React specific linting rules for ESLint
Installation
Install ESLint either locally or globally.
$ npm install eslint
If you installed ESLint
globally, you have to install React plugin globally too. Otherwise, install it locally.
$ npm install eslint-plugin-react
Configuration
Add plugins
section and specify ESLint-plugin-React as a plugin.
{
"plugins": [
"react"
]
}
You can also specify some settings that will be shared across all the plugin rules.
{
"settings": {
"react": {
"createClass": "createClass", // Regex for Component Factory to use, default to "createClass"
"pragma": "React", // Pragma to use, default to "React"
"version": "15.0" // React version, default to the latest React stable release
}
}
}
If it is not already the case you must also configure ESLint
to support JSX.
With ESLint 1.x.x:
{
"ecmaFeatures": {
"jsx": true
}
}
With ESLint 2.x.x or 3.x.x:
{
"parserOptions": {
"ecmaFeatures": {
"jsx": true
}
}
}
Finally, enable all of the rules that you would like to use. Use our preset to get reasonable defaults quickly, and/or choose your own:
"rules": {
"react/jsx-uses-react": "error",
"react/jsx-uses-vars": "error",
}
