feature request: use .eslintrc to simplify configure

[septs]

I want to detect that the .eslintrc file exists by reusing the .eslintrc configuration
This avoids repeating the .eslintrc configuration once again in package.json

see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don't_repeat_yourself

There is no configuration of standard, that is the point of it. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding what you are trying to do?

But with standard you don't need an .eslintrc config at all, so it isn't repeating?

[feross]

Standard doesn't recognize .eslintrc files, intentionally. This is to ensure that standard rules can't be modified unexpectedly by random .eslintrc files on your filesystem.

@septs Here's the configurable standard for you:

Git it a try if you like :D.

Stuffing more things into package.json is annoying. Also the CLI tool standard doesn't seem to do much that theeslint CLI doesn't alreay do. Ideally the README would strongly discourage using standard globally, but instead it seems to encourage it: https://github.com/feross/standard#install

standard-own seems cool, but I'd rather not have an underlying dependency on a project which doesn't make it easy to customize. That runs contrary to the customizable philosophy of eslint. So I'm switching to eslint-config-airbnb.

I did see that there's another option to extend the underlying eslintrc: https://github.com/feross/standard#i-disagree-with-rule-x-can-you-change-it

[LinusU]

You can use eslint-config-standard the same way you would use eslint-config-airbnb 👍

[feross]

@jcrben If you want to use standard as your starting point and add/remove/change some of the rules, take a look at eslint-config-standard.

The standard cli is for users who want to use that ESLint configuration without knowing anything about ESLint and without allowing rules to be customized. For many teams, the mere option to customize the tool can lead to endless bike-shedding and wasted time, so this is a feature, not a bug.

For those who want customizability, we offer eslint-config-standard which I hope you'll take a look at! Cheers!
