🔧 Configs

This plugin provides three configs:

• plugin:node/recommended condiders both CommonJS and ES Modules. If "type":"module" field existed in package.json then it considers files as ES Modules. Otherwise it considers files as CommonJS. In addition, it considers *.mjs files as ES Modules and *.cjs files as CommonJS.
• plugin:node/recommended-module considers all files as ES Modules.
• plugin:node/recommended-script considers all files as CommonJS.

Those preset config:

• enable no-process-exit rule because the official document does not recommend a use of process.exit().
• enable plugin rules which are given :star: in the above table.
• add {ecmaVersion: 2019} and etc into parserOptions.
• add proper globals into globals.
• add this plugin into plugins.

👫 FAQ

• Q: The no-missing-import / no-missing-require rules don't work with nested folders in SublimeLinter-eslint
• A: See context.getFilename() in rule returns relative path in the SublimeLinter-eslint FAQ.

- A bug fix in a rule that results in it reporting more errors.
- A new rule is created.
- A new option to an existing rule is created.
- An existing rule is deprecated.

• Major release (likely to break your lint build)

- A support for old Node version is dropped.
