+### ignorePattern
+
+A regular expression can be provided to make this rule ignore specific comments.
+
+Examples of **correct** code for the `ignorePattern` option:
+
+```js
+/*eslint no-inline-comments: ["error", { "ignorePattern": "webpackChunkName:\s.+" }]*/
+
+import(/* webpackChunkName: "my-chunk-name" */ './locale/en');
+```
+
+Examples of **incorrect** code for the `ignorePattern` option:
+
+```js
+/*eslint no-inline-comments: ["error", { "ignorePattern": "something" }] */
+
+var foo = 4; // other thing
+```
+
 ### JSX exception
 
 Comments inside the curly braces in JSX are allowed to be on the same line as the braces, but only if they are not on the same line with other code, and the braces do not enclose an actual expression.
