Docs: ESLint
So, to use this I need to check for node -v and npm -v-- make sure they are current and all that jazz.
npm install -g eslint to install ESLint globally.
Check version with eslint --version
ESLint gives the ability to disable things on a file basis or even just a few lines within the a particular file.
Example: disables for full file
/* eslint-disable no-extend-native*/
code begins
Example: disables part of a file
whatever code here
/* eslint-disable */
code giving error, but I want to ignore it.
/* eslint-enable */
whatever code resumes
"plugins": ["html", "markdown"] is something that can be added to .eslintrc file. I haven't checked myself yet, but it may not be possible to use --fix on any errors that come up. --fix works JS-only files.
A little something I was wondering about and actually spent quite a bit of time on was looking for a way to parse .erb files. I actually have some JS with ENV variables in Rails and it seems I can use eslint . --ext js.erb in the command line, but nothing within the config file itself.
Install:
- Go to Sublime Text > Preferences > Package Control
- Package Control: Install Package (dropdown menu)
- Sublime Linter (dropdown menu)
Then, repeat for SublimeLinter-eslint
If all went well, you should have gotten a message that says it has been installed/upgraded and to restart Sublime.
If nothing happened, it is possible you may have it or you gotta get package control squared away. I had to look into it, I believe to put in jade a few months back-- Package Control
You can check for packages: - Go to Sublime Text > Preferences > Package Control
- Package Control: List Packages (dropdown menu)
NOTE: gotta have ESLint globally installed, these plugins use your system-- you can double check with eslint --version
cmd + shift + p brings up the dropdown where you can adj settings.
NOTE: I was getting ERROR: eslint cannot locate 'eslint', the fix: run which eslint in the command line/terminal, the path it shoots out is the path you want to include in your Sublime ESLint Settings. Should look something like this:
"paths": {
"osx": [
"/Users/jO/.nvm/versions/node/v9.11.1/bin"
],
},

Reminder: the .eslinrc file may have to be written a certain way-- in my case, I'm in rails so I had to edit my file to look like this...
env:
browser: true
es6: true
jquery: true
extends: 'eslint:recommended'
instead of something like this...
{
"env": {
"browser": true,
"es6": true,
"jquery": true
},
"extends": "eslint:recommended"
}
So everything (my ESLint in Sublime) was working until... well, it wasn't.
Behold! ERROR: env: node: No such file or directory -- off I went to duck duck go.
The following seemed the most helpful/useful, maybe:
There were a few suggestions, but a simple solution (to me) seemed to set up a connection between the command line and Sublime. A user mentioned that was a way of avoiding that error so I figured it was worth the shot because I would not only gain convenience, but ALSO get this thing to work.
Off I went. imagine lute type tunes playing at this very moment
Resource: https://olivierlacan.com/posts/launch-sublime-text-3-from-the-command-line/
echo $PATH and ln -s "/Applications/Sublime Text.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl" /usr/local/bin/sublime
The path is pretty straight forward, but what is ln and -s? I asked myself this very Q and because I will forget, I'm making a note of it for my future self below.
ln is link/symbolic link of an exisiting file ln-s print the allocated size of each file, in blocks. -sMy ERROR: env: node: No such file or directory error seems to have vanished, seems all is well.
checks sublime console Or... not. Hmmmmm...
Welcome, - Unexpected top-level property "browser". error.
I thought perhaps editing my eslintrc file from this:
env:
browser: true,
es6: true,
jquery: true
extends: 'eslint:recommended'
to this:
extends: 'eslint:recommended'
env:
browser: true
es6: true
jquery: true
But, that wouldn't make much sense since in another project I had a file that looked the exact same way and it had worked just fine so maybe...
Maybe I need the symbolic link from within my vagrant command line?
failed to create symbolic link - from what I read it seems this cant be done this way, security risk type jazz.
Ok, so maybe...
I hit up my duck duck go and started my search once more. I mean, I haven't used ESLint much so maybe I missed something that I had done in the previous project where I first set up ESLint & Sublime.
Hello, eslint --init
I decided to scrap the eslintrc file I had and ran eslint --init some Qs pop up to get your config file started (which can be edited after the fact) annnnnndddd drum roll I finally got my little dots!
My eslintrc file atm:
env:
browser: true
es6: true
jquery: true
extends: 'eslint:recommended'
rules:
indent:
- error
- 2
linebreak-style:
- error
- unix
quotes:
- error
- single
semi:
- error
- always
no-unused-vars: 1
Sidebar: I've discovered the lute calms the aggro of hours troubleshooting :D
I remember using Rubocop which is pretty much ESLint, but for Ruby code. Like ESLint it catches any errors in code which is great especially when on a team and you want everyone's code looking uniform and tidy. I was using Travis, for the first time, and remember it would tell you if your build passed or failed depending. If it failed, your push wasn't going anywhere.
Apparently, there's a .git/ folder with a hooks subfolder that does something similar. You can put certain code to run before certain things happen and it doesnt allow you to move forward (ex: commit) until those errors are resolved. ya learn something new every day
where's the .git folder?
Well, since there's a . that precedes it, if you don't see it, it's probably hidden. I'm sure there's a few ways to hide and unhide stuff, but the one I've used a few times has been running the following in the command line [press enter after each line]:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
To revert: repeat, but switch out 'TRUE' for 'FALSE'
