ESLint

In the Settings dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S) , go to Languages & Frameworks | JavaScript | Code Quality Tools | ESLint, and select Manual ESLint configuration.

In the ESLint package field, specify the location of the eslint or standard package.

In the Working directories field, specify the working directories for the ESLint process.

By default, the field is empty, and RustRover detects the working directory automatically. First, it looks for a directory closest to the linted file which contains a configuration file.

If the auto-detected working directory doesn't match your project configuration, you need to specify the working directory (directories) manually. Use semicolons as separators. The acceptable values are:

• Absolute paths.

• Paths relative to the project base directory (the parent folder of the .idea folder where RustRover-specific project metadata is stored). For example:

  1. ./: use the project base directory as the ESLint process working directory.

  2. client;server: use <project_base_dir>/client and <project_base_dir>/server as working directories. For files that are neither under the client not under the server folder, the working directory will be auto-detected as described above.

  3. packages/*: each subfolder of the <project_base_dir>/packages directory will be used as the working directory for the corresponding linted files.

• Paths relative to content roots can be used if some linted files are not under the project base directory in the folder hierarchy.

• Glob patterns that define relative paths to the working directories. For example, with **/foo -* each directory with the name starting with foo- will be used as the working directory for the corresponding linted files.

Choose the configuration to use.

• Automatic search: select this option if ESLint rules are configured in a configuration file of a supported format.

  RustRover looks for such file starting from the folder where the file to be checked is stored, then searches in its parent folder, and so on until the project root is reached.

• Configuration File - select this option to use a custom file and specify the file location in the Path field.

Learn more about configuring ESLint from the ESLint official website.

Optionally:

• In the Extra eslint options field, specify additional command-line options to run ESLint with, use spaces as separators. For example, to use configuration files written in TypeScript, type --flag unstable_ts_config.

  Learn more about ESLint CLI options from the ESLint official website.

• In the Additional rules directory field, specify the location of the files with additional code verification rules. These rules will be applied after the rules from the default configuration file or from a custom configuration file and accordingly will override them.

  See the ESLint official website for more information about ESLint configuration files and adding rules.

Open the Settings dialog (Ctrl+Alt+S) , go to Languages & Frameworks | JavaScript | Code Quality Tools | ESLint, and select Automatic ESLint configuration or Manual ESLint configuration.

In the Run for files field, specify the pattern that defines the set of files to be linted. You can accept the default pattern or type a custom one.

With the default pattern, **/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,cjs,cts,mjs,mts,html,vue}, ESLint will wake up and process any updated JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, TSX, HTML, or Vue file. To lint files of other types or files stored in specific folders, use glob patterns to update the default pattern.

• For example, to automatically lint CoffeeScript files as well, add coffee to the default pattern as follows:

  **/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,cjs,cts,mjs,mts,html,vue,coffee}

• To lint files from a specific folder, including subfolders, replace **/* with <path to the folder>/**/*.

  Suppose, you have a project with the following structure:

  

  To lint only the files in the coffee folder, update the pattern as follows:

  coffee/*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,cjs,cts,mjs,mts,html,vue,coffee}

  As a result, the file linting.coffee is linted while no_linting .coffee is not.
