React specific linting rules for ESLint

Install ESLint either locally or globally.

$ npm install eslint --save-dev

If you installed ESLint globally, you have to install React plugin globally too. Otherwise, install it locally.

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

Use our preset to get reasonable defaults:

 "extends": [
 "eslint:recommended",
 "plugin:react/recommended"
 ]

You should also specify settings that will be shared across all the plugin rules.

{
 "settings": {
 "react": {
 "createClass": "createReactClass", // Regex for Component Factory to use,
 // default to "createReactClass"
 "pragma": "React", // Pragma to use, default to "React"
 "version": "15.0", // React version, default to the latest React stable release
 "flowVersion": "0.53" // Flow version
 },
 "propWrapperFunctions": [ "forbidExtraProps" ] // The names of any functions used to wrap the
 // propTypes object, e.g. `forbidExtraProps`.
 // If this isn't set, any propTypes wrapped in
 // a function will be skipped.
 }
}

If you do not use a preset you will need to specify individual rules and add extra configuration.

Add "react" to the plugins section.

{
 "plugins": [
 "react"
 ]
}

Enable JSX support.

With ESLint 2+

{
 "parserOptions": {
 "ecmaFeatures": {
 "jsx": true
 }
 }
}

Enable the rules that you would like to use.

 "react/jsx-uses-react": "error",
 "react/jsx-uses-vars": "error",

This plugin exports a recommended configuration that enforces React good practices.

To enable this configuration use the extends property in your .eslintrc config file:

{
 "extends": ["eslint:recommended", "plugin:react/recommended"]
}

See ESLint documentation for more information about extending configuration files.

The rules enabled in this configuration are:

• react/display-name
• react/jsx-key
• react/jsx-no-comment-textnodes
• react/jsx-no-duplicate-props
• react/jsx-no-target-blank
• react/jsx-no-undef
• react/jsx-uses-react
• react/jsx-uses-vars
• react/no-children-prop
• react/no-danger-with-children
• react/no-deprecated
• react/no-direct-mutation-state
• react/no-find-dom-node
• react/no-is-mounted
• react/no-render-return-value
• react/no-string-refs
• react/no-unescaped-entities
• react/no-unknown-property
• react/prop-types
• react/react-in-jsx-scope
• react/require-render-return

This plugin also exports an all configuration that includes every available rule. This pairs well with the eslint:all rule.

{
 "plugins": [
 "react"
 ],
 "extends": ["eslint:all", "plugin:react/all"]
}

Note: These configurations will import eslint-plugin-react and enable JSX in parser options.
