  • Renamed the eslint task to eslintrc. This will mostly likely only be used by API, so make sure you update any references to eslint:eslint to be eslint:eslintrc

Getting started

Install

Installing the CLI

To run the readme generator from the command line, you'll need to install [Generate][] globally first. You can do that now with the following command:

$ npm install --global generate

This adds the gen command to your system path, allowing it to be run from any directory.

Install generate-eslint

Install this module with the following command:

$ npm install --global generate-eslint

CLI

Run this generator's default task with the following command:

$ gen readme

What will happen?

Running the default task will add or replace the .eslintrc.json file in the current working directory with a template from one of the following locations, in order of precedence:

  • defined by you, stored at ~/templates/_eslintrc.json (user home on your system), or if not defined
  • the generic template in this project's templates directory.

What you should see in the terminal

If completed successfully, you should see both starting and finished events in the terminal, like the following:

[00:44:21] starting ...
...
[00:44:22] finished ✔

If you do not see one or both of those events, please let us know about it.

Example

$ gen eslint:eslintrc

Generate a .eslintignore file to the current working directory. This task is also aliased as eslintignore to provide a more semantic task name for when this generator is used as a plugin or sub-generator.

Example

$ gen eslint:ignore

Visit Generate's documentation for tasks.

Next steps

$ npm install && test

Publishing your generator

If you're tests are passing and you're ready to publish your generator to npm, you can do that now with the following command:

Are you sure you're ready?!

Let's go!
