eslint-plugin-babel

An eslint plugin companion to babel-eslint. babel-eslint does a great job at adapting eslint for use with Babel, but it can't change the built in rules to support experimental features. eslint-plugin-babel re-implements problematic rules so they do not give false positives or negatives.

Install

npm install eslint-plugin-babel --save-dev

Load the plugin in your .eslintrc file:

{
  "plugins": [
    "babel"
  ]
}

Finally enable all the rules you would like to use (remember to disable the original ones as well!).

{
  "rules": {
    "babel/generator-star-spacing": 1,
    "babel/new-cap": 1,
    "babel/array-bracket-spacing": 1,
    "babel/object-curly-spacing": 1,
    "babel/object-shorthand": 1,
    "babel/arrow-parens": 1,
    "babel/no-await-in-loop": 1,
    "babel/flow-object-type": 1,
    "babel/func-params-comma-dangle": 1,
    "babel/no-invalid-this": 1
  }
}

Rules

Each rule corresponds to a core eslint rule, and has the same options.

🛠 : means it's autofixable with --fix.

• babel/generator-star-spacing: Handles async/await functions correctly
• babel/new-cap: Ignores capitalized decorators (@Decorator)
• babel/array-bracket-spacing: Handles destructuring arrays with flow type in function parameters (🛠 )
• babel/object-curly-spacing: doesn't complain about export x from "mod"; or export * as x from "mod"; (🛠 )
• babel/object-shorthand: doesn't fail when using object spread (...obj)
• babel/arrow-parens: Handles async functions correctly (🛠 )
• babel/no-invalid-this: doesn't fail when inside class properties (class A { a = this.b; })

The following rules are not in eslint, but are relevant only to syntax that is not specified by the current JavaScript standard or supported by eslint.

• babel/no-await-in-loop: guard against awaiting async functions inside of a loop
• babel/flow-object-type: Require a particular separator between properties in Flow object types. (🛠 )
  • Use the option semicolon to require semicolons (e.g. type Foo = { bar: number; baz: string }).
  • Use the option comma to require commas (e.g. type Foo = { bar: number, baz: string }).
• babel/func-params-comma-dangle: Require or forbid trailing commas for function paramater lists. Behaves like, and takes the same options as, eslint's comma-dangle. (🛠 )
