Option to force lint by file extension or scope

[augustobmoura]

There's a chance of adding a option forcing the linter to lint all files ending with .js? I want to use it with the package language-babel (primarily because of the es6 grammar), but it forces all JavaScript files to source.js.jsx. Maybe force to lint only certain scopes.

This is a bug with language-babel that they marked as invalid, so it's highly unlikely to ever be fixed: gandm/language-babel#266

JSHint has no support for JSX so unfortunately that scope can't be added to the list of allowed scopes here.

Closing as a duplicate of #348, I wish there was more that could be done here. I would just recommend using the built in language-javascript as it works perfectly fine.

It's not a duplicate, I'm asking for a field in the settings for force scopes to be linted, configurable by the user. I already do that editing the main.js of the apm package, but it's just a workaround, every update breaks it. I can work on a PR adding the option if I have the time, I think it's quite simple.

I use language-babel with plain js most of the time, and JSHint can handle that. JSX projects generally don't have a .jshintrc (because, as already said, jshint doesn't supports JSX) so enabling Disable When No Jshintrc File In Path option and forcing source.js.jsx scope works in most of the cases.

I'd definitely be open to that, we have something similar in linter-eslint since it actually can support many different scopes.
