In my last few PRs I have noticed that there are many unused variables across the code. This can lead to issues as we saw in #745. This PR adds eslint to catch these sorts of errors. The eslint configuration is based on the standard "eslint:recommended" rule set. I have disabled:
no-prototype-builtins
no-empty
no-regex-spaces
no-useless-escape
I have disabled these so that this PR has minimal impact on the code. I recommend someone who knows both the code and the regular expressions to re-enable the
no-regex-spaces
andno-useless-escape
rules and fixing the code accordingly.
