Lint JavaScript within BBEdit using ESLint. Resulting errors and warnings are opened in a results window within BBEdit using the BBEdit command line tool bbresults (introduced in BBEdit 11.6).
The ESLint.bbpackage packages a single script for passing the frontmost document open in BBEdit to ESLint command line interface.

- ESLint CLI installed and configured
- Download and unzip the package: ESLint.bbpackage_v3.0.0.zip.
- Double–click the ESLint.bbpackage, BBEdit will prompt you to install (or update), and restart.
The package file will be copied to the Packages directory in BBEdit’s Application Support directory. Delete it from here should you wish uninstall later.
As noted in the requirements, this package does not install ESLint itself. The contained script presumes eslint is installed and configured with a configuration file (such as .eslintrc.js or a eslintConfig field in a package.json).
