How to include a folder for linting that is not in root folder of eslintrc file?

Question

I have two projects that share common files from the common folder.

Now, I am trying to setup eslint so I can lint both the project folder and the common folder.

Folder structure is like this:

• MyProjectFolder

• .eslintrc.js

•  src

• CommonFolder

• src

I am trying to add an "override: [ files: ["src/**/*.js", "../CommonFolder/src/**/*.js"] }] " to eslint with relative path, but eslint is telling me that it is an invalid override path.

So, does anyone know how I can add CommonFolder into.eslintrc.js file?

Answer 1

If using VS-Code, you can add both directories to the ESLint working directory settings in the VS-Code Workspace Extensions settings.

1. cmd + shift + p / ctrl + shift + p

2. type workspace setting!

3. Select ESLint from the Extensions menu.

4. Look for the working directory configuration and open it in JSON format.

5. Include a directory path.

    { "eslint.workingDirectories": [ "path1/", "path2/" ] }

I hope this is helpful.

I solved this by moving the.eslinrc.js config file to the parent folder which consists of both CommonFolder and ProjectFolder, and gave it a property of root: true .

If builder doesn't find a config file in it's root folder, it will begin searching parent folders until it finds a config file with root option set to true.

This way, both my projects can use only one eslint config file, even if they use different build files.
