React specific linting rules for ESLint
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
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",
}

property in your .eslintrc
config file:
{
"plugins": [
"react"
],
"extends": ["eslint:recommended", "plugin:react/recommended"]
}
See ESLint documentation for more information about extending configuration files.
The rules enabled in this configuration are:
- react/display-name
- react/jsx-no-duplicate-props
- react/jsx-no-undef
- react/jsx-uses-react
- react/jsx-uses-vars
- react/no-deprecated
- react/no-direct-mutation-state
- react/no-find-dom-node
- react/no-is-mounted
- react/no-unknown-property
- react/prop-types
- react/react-in-jsx-scope
- react/require-render-return
Note: This configuration will also enable JSX in parser options.
This plugin also exports an all
configuration that includes every available rule.
This pairs well with the eslint:all
rule.
