Disable a specific linter rule in Atom (for js-standard)

Question

How do I tell an Atom linter, specifically js-standard, to ignore a rule? I want it ignored project-wide, and I thought that I could achieve this with a package.json or a .e

Answer 1

Using the default install, there is no way to do this in linter-js-standard. (I believe this was a conscious decision on the part of the module authors who believe that standard is a hard target rather than an ideal.)

If you wish to use eslint-style comments to disable linting for certain lines or code sections, install babel-eslint via npm i --save-dev babel-eslint and add

{
  ...
  "standard": {
    "parser": "babel-eslint"
  }
  ...
}

to your package.json file which will allow you to annotate your source as needed.

Example

Assuming foo is defined but not used elsewhere in your file, linter will warn: 'foo is assigned a value but never used. (no-unused-vars)'

const foo = 1

After installing babel-eslint, configuring standard in your package.json file, and adding this comment, linter will ignore the line.

const foo = 1 // eslint-disable-line

See Configuring ESLint for other configuration annotations.
