Eslint configuration steps

• How would you like to use Eslint?
  To check syntax, find problems, and enforce code style.
• Typpes of modules your project use?
  CommonJs
• JS framework? (React? vue?)
  None
• Typescript?
  No
• Where does your code run?
  Node
• Define styles for you project:
  Answer questions about you style
• What format do you want your config file to be in?
  Json
• What style of indentation do you use?
  Space
• What quotes do you use for strings?
  single
• What line endings do you use?
  windows
• Would you like to install them now?
  Yes
• Which package manager do you want to use?
  npm

Note about getting rid of semicolon (;): Javascript has this ability. Without an extra syntax, code will be cleaner (think about the cleanness of Python code). Only use it, where it is necessary; unless we can start to omit it from now.

Notes

To run a npm package command directly from command. For example

node_modules\\.bin\\eslint .

But when added in npm script, full path is not needed.
N.b. if full path command is not working, check your command line application, try using simple command line/shell application.

Frequently shooted troubles (troubleshooting)

Trouble: eslint error Require statement not part of import statement.

On code require('something').

Shoot: add rules to your .eslintrc.json (or whatever file type you are using).

"rules": {
 "@typescript-eslint/no-var-requires": "off"
}

Trouble: Eslist error: Failed to load plugin '@typescript-eslint' declared in '.eslintrc.json': Cannot find module 'typescript'

Shoot: Install typescript globally or as a dev-dependency. Not sure why typescript was not included as a dependency in typescript-eslint!
