ESLintESLint Formatters
ESLint comes with several built-in formatters to control the appearance of the linting results, and supports third-party formatters as well.
You can specify a formatter using the --format or -f flag on the command line. For example, --format codeframe uses the codeframe formatter.
The built-in formatter options are:
Example Source
Examples of each formatter were created from linting fullOfProblems.js using the .eslintrc configuration shown below.
fullOfProblems.js
function addOne(i) {
if (i != NaN) {
return i ++
} else {
return
}
};
.eslintrc:
{
"extends": "eslint:recommended",
"rules": {
"consistent-return": 2,
"indent" : [1, 4],
"no-else-return" : 1,
"semi" : [1, "always"],
"space-unary-ops" : 2
}
}
