How to set options.rulePaths or --rulesdir

[markholland]

Our project has some rules we created and they are stored in a specific location.

I need a way to provide this path through either the options object or eslint arguments.

Can this be accomplished using this plugin?

You can go to Project > Project Settings…, find ESLint in the Extensions section on the side, then set the "Path to ESLint configuration".

If you'd prefer a global setting, look in Extensions > Extension Library…, find ESLint, then go to the Preferences tab to find a global version of the same setting.

I might be misunderstanding but I still want ESLint to use the project .eslintrc.js configuration file which is where the custom rules are enabled. I haven't seen a way to set additional rules directories in a configuration file, we have to pass it as a cli argument like so eslint . --rulesdir=.eslint/rules

Ah sorry, my misunderstanding. I assumed you were talking about configuration files 🤦🏻‍♂️

Nova 4 has a new feature I've been hoping for that might help with this. I can now add preferences that are arrays of paths. I'm thinking about adding a preference for "Additional eslint arguments" that you can use to set things like this.

Alternatively, this could be supported in the same way a custom config file is supported -

nova-eslint/ESLint.novaextension/extension.json

Lines 60 to 64 in 6a2955d

	{
	"key": "apexskier.eslint.config.eslintConfigPath",
	"title": "Path to ESLint configuration",
	"type": "path"
	}

, which aligns with how a custom binary is supported. A downside to that is that it doesn't support multiple values.

The only downside to using a string array is that you don't get the nice directory picker UI

#75 adds a config option for adding custom rules dirs. It appears there's a Nova bug preventing the preference from appearing globally when I restrict it to folders, but the workspace preference seems to work file. I'd appreciate someone trying it out locally before I merge and publish, since I don't usually use custom rules directories.
