ESLint Snippets To Disable Linting

I love a good bit of linting. ESlint is a pluggable linter tool for JavaScript frameworks.

This short bit of content is about how to disable eslint, in the chance that you don’t need linting in a specific file, line or project. They help you selectively disable ESlint.

These eslint snippets always slip my mind. Hopefully they help!

ESLint Disable in a File

Sometimes you need to ignore a whole file. You can do that with the following comment. Add this at the very top of the page and it will stop the file file being checked.

/* eslint-disable */

 

This method is also great if you need to disable a chunk of code. All you need to do it re-enabled it after the section.

/* eslint-disable */
console.log('console log is bad lol');
/* eslint-enable */

 

ESLint Disable a Specific Line

Wanting to turn off eslint rule for a specific line? You can use the following ESLint command to disable one line.

Console.log(‘console log is bad lol); // eslint-disable-line

 

On top of that, you can focus the disable on a specific line for a specific rule. This means that if anything goes wrong, you are able to see the errors or warnings.

console.log('console log is bad lol'); // eslint-disable-line no-console

 

ESLint Disable the Next Line

You can use the following ESLint commant to disable the next line.

// eslint-disable-next-line
console.log('console log is bad lol');

 

You can use the specific rule here as well.

// eslint-disable-next-line no-console
console.log('console log is bad lol');

 

These three rules always slip my mind. Hopefully they help you out as well.
