How to opt out of specific rules in package.json ?

[nelsonic]

Hi @Flet,
Since upgrading to the latest version of Semistandard (8.0.0)
we are getting a lot of "Identifier 'variable_name' is not in camel case" ...
But we want to use snake_case for our variables so they are easy to distinguish.
How do we set this in package.json ?
Tried:

  "semistandard": {
    "rules": {
      "camelcase": false
    },
  }

But no luck.
Can you please help and/or point us to the place in the docs where its explained how to ignore a certain rule? thanks!

One of the goals of standard (and semistandard) is to avoid custom configuration to make it a simple, consistent linting tool.

I realize this new rule can cause pain for folks who prefer snake_case that have existing projects using semistandard. With semistandard, the goal is to only deviate from standard regarding semicolons and nothing else.

Its possible to ignore rules via eslint ignore comments at the top of each file, but it sounds this may not be sufficient for your needs.

Its also possible to instead use eslint directly via .eslintrc. Just extend the semistandard shareable config and layer rule changes on top (https://github.com/flet/eslint-config-semistandard).

And finally its very easy to take a shareable config and build a CLI interface that behaves just like semistandard using standard-engine (basically just fork this repo and change the eslintrc.json 😄).

I hope one of these solutions is acceptable!

@Flet thanks for your prompt reply. 👍
We have over a hundred projects using semistandard which now say devDependencies "_out of date_" due to the update. But when we run semistandard on any of them we get errors where we did not have any before... also there's no release/notes (on GitHub) for the latest version (published on NPM) https://github.com/Flet/semistandard/releases

So it was not possible to know up-front that the latest version would "break" our build.
Thanks again for building a great linter and for the advice.
For now we will continue to use semistandard@7.0.5 until we have time to implement our own.

Apologies for that, I forgot to push the tag :/

Here are details on the new rules:

@nelsonic I'm closing this for now. Apologies again for the breakage and the lack of communication.
