eslint-plugin-wordpress

A collection of custom ESLint rules that help enforce JavaScript coding standard in the WordPress project.

Deprecated

This package has been deprecated, please use @wordpress/eslint-plugin or @wordpress/scripts

Installation

You'll first need to install ESLint:

$ npm i eslint --save-dev

Next, install eslint-plugin-wordpress:

$ npm install eslint-plugin-wordpress --save-dev

Note: If you installed ESLint globally (using the -g flag) then you must also install eslint-plugin-wordpress globally.

Usage

This plugin exports a recommended config that enforces WordPress JavaScript coding standards.

Note: This config will also add the Backbone, jQuery, JSON, Underscore, and the global wp as allowed globals.

Enable it in your package.json with the extends option:

{
	"name": "my-wordpress-project",
	"eslintConfig": {
		"extends": "plugin:wordpress/recommended",
		"plugins": [
			"wordpress"
		]
	}
}

Or create your own .eslintrc.json configuration file:

{
	"extends": "plugin:wordpress/recommended",
	"plugins": [
		"wordpress"
	]
}

Or create your own .eslintrc.js configuration file:

{
	"extends": "plugin:wordpress/recommended",
	"plugins": [
		"wordpress"
	]
}

Or create your own .eslintrc.yaml or .eslintrc.yml configuration file:

extends:
	- "plugin:wordpress/recommended"

plugins:
	- "wordpress"

See the ESLint docs for more information about configuration file formats.

You can also stack any of the extra shared configs on top of the "recommended" config by extending an array of linting configs. For example, this package provides a Node.js linting config, which can be added to the recommended config with the following configuration file:

{
	"extends": [
		"plugin:wordpress/recommended",
		"plugin:wordpress/node"
	]
}
