Behind the scenes
How are identified applicable files
- Activated only if one of these files is found:
.eslintrc.json, .eslintrc.yml, .eslintrc.yaml, .eslintrc.js, .eslintrc.cjs, package.json:eslintConfig
- File extensions:
.ts
How the linting is performed
- eslint is called once with the list of files as arguments (
list_of_files
CLI lint mode)
Example calls
eslint myfile.ts
eslint -c .eslintrc.json --no-eslintrc --no-ignore myfile.ts
eslint --fix -c .eslintrc.json --no-eslintrc --no-ignore myfile.ts
