Installation

You'll first need to install ESLint:

npm i eslint --save-dev

Next, install eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin:

npm install eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin --save-dev

Usage

Here's an example ESLint configuration that:

Sets sourceType to script for CJS plugins (most users) (use module for ESM/TypeScript)
Enables the recommended configuration
Enables an optional/non-recommended rule

.eslintrc.json

{
  "extends": ["plugin:eslint-plugin/recommended"],
  "rules": {
    "eslint-plugin/require-meta-docs-description": "error"
  }
}

`eslint.config.js` (requires eslint>=v8.23.0)

const eslintPlugin = require('eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin');
module.exports = [
  eslintPlugin.configs['flat/recommended'],
  {
    rules: {
      'eslint-plugin/require-meta-docs-description': 'error',
    },
  },
];

Semantic versioning policy

The list of recommended rules will only change in a major release of this plugin. However, new non-recommended rules might be added in a minor release of this plugin. Therefore, using the all, rules, and tests presets is not recommended for production use, because the addition of new rules in a minor release could break your build.

Preset usage

Both flat and eslintrc configs are supported. For example, to enable the recommended preset, use:

eslint.config.js

const eslintPlugin = require('eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin');
module.exports = [eslintPlugin.configs['flat/recommended']];

.eslintrc.json

{
  "extends": ["plugin:eslint-plugin/recommended"]
}

Or to apply linting only to the appropriate rule or test files:

eslint.config.js

const eslintPlugin = require('eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin');
module.exports = [
  {
    files: ['lib/rules/*.{js,ts}'],
    ...eslintPlugin.configs['flat/rules-recommended'],
  },
  {
    files: ['tests/lib/rules/*.{js,ts}'],
    ...eslintPlugin.configs['flat/tests-recommended'],
  },
];

.eslintrc.js

{
  "overrides": [
    {
      "files": ["lib/rules/*.{js,ts}"],
      "extends": ["plugin:eslint-plugin/rules-recommended"]
    },
    {
      "files": ["tests/lib/rules/*.{js,ts}"],
      "extends": ["plugin:eslint-plugin/tests-recommended"]
    }
  ]
}
