Clarification of config in package.json

[dthree]

I use spaces, so runnign xo --space works fine.

However, when trying to throw this into my package.json, this doesn't seem to accept args like ESLINT would:

  "xo": {
    "envs": ["node", "mocha"],
    "rules": {
      "indent": [2, 2, {"SwitchCase": 1}],
    }
  }  

This isn't applying two-space indentation.

Am I missing something?

NVM. Had a trailing comma in package.json, and so XO just up and ignored it.

It would be really cool if XO could catch that it isn't reading package.json due to malformed JSON and warn the user!

I'd recommend you to install a JSON plugin in your editor, it should detect and highlight malformed JSON. If you're using atom, that should work by default.
Although adding an error message to notify the user of error in package.json wouldn't be very difficult.

[dthree]

I'll do that for sure. But adding the error would be the kind of one-up that makes packages like XO awesome.

Sure. Btw, use the space: true option instead of "rules": {"indent": [2, 2, {"SwitchCase": 1}]}.

Thanks and will do :)
