README

⚠️ This package for internal development of Cypress. Here's the Official Cypress ESLint Plugin meant for users of Cypress.

Installation

npm install --save-dev @cypress/eslint-plugin-dev

Usage

⚠️ Currently does not support ESLint version 9

For Eslint 8, use version 6.x.x

For Eslint 7 and below, use version 5.x.x

1. install the following devDependencies:

@cypress/eslint-plugin-dev
eslint-plugin-json-format
@typescript-eslint/parser
@typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin
eslint-plugin-mocha
eslint-plugin-import

# if you have react/jsx files
eslint-plugin-react
@babel/eslint-parser

2. add the following to your root level .eslintrc.json:

{
  "plugins": [
    "@cypress/dev"
  ],
  "extends": [
    "plugin:@cypress/dev/general"
  ]
}

Note: also add "plugin:@cypress/dev/react", if you are using React

Note: if you have a test/ directory, you should create a .eslintrc.json file inside of it, and add:

{
  "extends": [
    "plugin:@cypress/dev/tests"
  ]
}

3. add the following to your .eslintignore:

# don't ignore hidden files, useful for formatting json config files
!.*

4. (optional) Install and configure your text editor's ESLint Plugin Extension to lint and auto-fix files using ESLint, detailed below

5. (optional) Install husky and enable the lint pre-commit hook:

package.json:

  "husky": {
    "hooks": {
      "pre-commit": "lint-pre-commit"
    }
  },

Note: the lint-pre-commit hook will automatically lint your staged files, and only --fix and git add them if there are no unstaged changes existing in that file (this protects partially staged files from being added in the hook).
To auto-fix all staged & unstaged files, run ./node_modules/.bin/lint-changed --fix
