Overview

ESLint statically analyzes JavaScript code to quickly find problems, and it is built into most text editors and can be run as part of a continuous integration pipeline. It is a tool for identifying and reporting on patterns found in ECMAScript/JavaScript code, with the goal of making code more consistent and avoiding bugs. ESLint is completely pluggable: every single rule is a plugin and more can be added at runtime, along with community plugins, configurations, and parsers. Many problems ESLint finds can be automatically fixed, and its fixes are syntax-aware. ESLint is designed to be flexible and configurable, allowing users to turn off every rule and run only basic syntax validation or to mix and match bundled and custom rules.

History

ESLint statically analyzes code to quickly find problems and is built into most text editors, and it can be run as part of a continuous integration pipeline. It is a tool for identifying and reporting on patterns found in ECMAScript/JavaScript code, with the goal of making code more consistent and avoiding bugs. ESLint is completely pluggable, with every single rule being a plugin and the ability to add more at runtime, as well as community plugins, configurations, and parsers. Many problems ESLint finds can be automatically fixed, and its fixes are syntax-aware so users do not experience errors introduced by traditional find-and-replace algorithms. ESLint is designed to be flexible and configurable, allowing users to turn off every rule and run only with basic syntax validation or to mix and match bundled rules and custom rules. Configuration can be done through configuration comments embedded in a file or through configuration files such as eslint.config.js. ESLint requires Node.js for installation and use.
