Install Update's CLI and updater-eslint:
Installing the CLI
To run updater-eslint from the command line, you'll need to install Update globally first. You can do that now with the following command:
$ npm install --global update
This adds the update command to your system path, allowing it to be run from any directory.
Install updater-eslint
Install this module with the following command:
$ npm install --global updater-eslint
You should now be able to run updater-eslint with the following command:
$ update readme
What will this do?
This updater's default task will replace the .eslintrc.json file in the current working directory with either ~/templates/_eslintrc.json (defined by you in user home), or if a template does not exist in user home the default template will be used.
Tasks on updater-eslint are by run using the syntax eslint:foo, where foo is the task name:
Example
The following will run the bar task from updater foo:
$ update foo:bar
^ ^
updater task
Default task
If a task is not explicitly passed Update's CLI will run the default task.
Update the .eslintrc.json file in the current working directory.
Example
$ update eslint
Adds a new .eslintrc.json file by running generate-eslint. The template is customizable. This task is also aliased as eslint-new to provide a semantic task name for calling this task programmatically.
Example
$ update eslint:new
Delete the eslintrc and jshint files in the current working directory. Also aliased as eslint-del to provide a semantic task name for calling this task programmatically.
Example
$ update eslint:del
Alias to allow running the eslint task with the following command:
Example
$ update eslint
Visit Update's task documentation.
Use updater-eslint as a plugin in your own updater.
Install with npm:
$ npm install --save updater-eslint
Inside your own updater:
module.exports = function(app) {
// register updater-eslint as a plugin
app.use(require('updater-eslint'));
// run the `default` task on updater-eslint
app.task('eslint', function(cb) {
app.update('updater-eslint', cb);
});
// run a specific task on updater-eslint
// (where `foo` is the name of the task to run)
app.task('eslint', function(cb) {
app.update('updater-eslint:foo', cb);
});
};
Visit the updater docs to learn more about creating, installing, using and publishing updaters.
Overriding templates
You can override a template by adding a template of the same name to the templates directory in user home. For example, to override the _eslintrc.json template, add a template at the following path ~/templates/_eslintrc.json.
