Global variables options in command line.

[LeiZeng]

Hi, @feross ,

I know we can set options in package.json or put some comments in the head of the files.
But we still met some troubles when use some plugins in our Editors(like Atom), the cwd is no longer the root path of our project, so if we could have some options to config the global variables in the command line like the ignores, it will be perfect!!

+1,

Was looking to add this feature on linter-js-standard but it seems like this isn't supported on standard CLI.

@dcousens Yeah it could be very slippery since we need to pass a serialised array on CLI args
@feross What are your thoughts on this?

[feross]

@ricardofbarros

The simple argument parser we use (minimist) returns an array when a command line flag is used twice:

standard --global React --global OtherGlobal

So no worries there.

@dcousens

I'm fine adding a command line flag for anything that's configurable in package.json. You can already set the parser in package.json and on the command line. But, more generally, your point is taken :)

Cool 😄

Released as 5.0.0-3. This is a prerelease version, so beware that breaking changes may be added before 5.0.0 is released.

[ricardofbarros]

I couldn't make the CLI to accept --global arg, can anyone test to see if it's working?

[feross]

Published 5.0.0-4 and confirmed that it works.

@feross 👍 happy with that.
