eslint-plugin-extra-rules

Additional rules for eslint

Install

npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-extra-rules

Example Configuration

Add to your .eslintrc:

{
    "plugins": ["extra-rules"],
    "rules": {
        "extra-rules/no-commented-out-code": "warn",
        // Your other rules...
    }
}

Rules

no-commented-out-code

Detects code in the single or multiline comments

/* eslint extra-rules/no-commented-out-code: "warn" */
/*
function foo() {
  return 'foo';
}*/
// this is normal comment
function baz() {
  'use strict';
  // and this is another normal comment
  // var bar = 'bar';
  return 'baz';
}

Produces the following output:

 2:0  warning  commented out code "function foo() {" (4 lines)  no-commented-out-code
10:2  warning  commented out code "var bar = 'bar';" (1 line)   no-commented-out-code

no-long-files

Detect source files with too many lines

first argument: rule severity (0 - no check, 1 - warning, 2 - error)
second argument: max number of allowed lines
"no-long-files": [2, 70]

Prints something like

potential-point-free.js
  0:0  error  file line count 51 exceeded line limit 50  no-long-files

camel_case

ESLint rule for enforcing camelCame names but allowing _ in property names

We want to use camelCase in variable names, but want to still allow
underscores in JSON objects:

var goodObject = {
  property_name: 1,
  another_property: 2
};

jshint has camelcase rule that forces EVERY name
to be camelCased

$ jshint index.js
index.js: line 2, col 0, Identifier 'property_name' is not in camel case.
index.js: line 3, col 0, Identifier 'another_property' is not in camel case.
2 errors

There are manual workarounds:

disable this specific rule using // jshint ignore:lint or // jshint -W106
write property names using quotes, for example 'property_name': 1

Both workarounds are hacky.

I wrote a more flexible rule called camel_case
for eslint. The rule looks one character after
the identifier to see if it is followed by colon : character.
If yes, this is a property name inside an object, and underscore character _ is allowed.

no-for-loops

Warns or errors if you use for loops in your code. I consider for loops harmful for their side effects,
and even consider .forEach dangerous, see Avoid forEach.

no-single-line-objects

Does not allow you to nest objects into single line. Single property object can be single line

// allowed
var foo = { foo: 'foo' };
// not allowed
var foo = { foo: 'foo', bar: 'bar' };
var foo = { foo: { bar: 'bar' } };

potential-point-free

Warns if a function just calls another function passing arguments and can potentially
become point-free. Point-free programming eliminates complexity and superfluous variables.
Only functions with single call expression are considered. The arguments must match exactly.

/* eslint extra-rules/potential-point-free: "warn" */
function print(x) {
  console.log(x);
}
[1, 2, 3].forEach(function printX(x) {
  print(x);
});
// output 7:18  warning  printX   potential-point-free

Note: due to signatures and optional arguments, sometimes functions should not be point free directly.
For example the array iterators pass item, index and the array itself, which causes problems for parseInt

['1', '2', '3'].forEach(parseInt);
// [1, 'NaN', 'NaN']

In this case, you can use unary adaptor or
3rd party iterator with simpler signature, R.forEach.
