How do you disable indent checking on esLint?

Question

The indent rule seems impossible to disable; how (in config settings) do I disable this rule? thanks.

Answer 1

For indentation, I usually let it activated in config and disable it only in some files where I need a fancy indentation, hence I use the comment

/* eslint-disable indent */

It is worth to note that this works also with standardjs that I use a lot, as well as on any other linter powered by eslint. For example I created a lighter version of standardjs, that is called standa that is standardjs minus the React part (yes this is the auto promotion part but I hope sharing this can be useful to many others than me :) that uses the great standard engine which relies on eslint, so everything just work with no extra line of code from me.

Answer 2

Set the rule to "off" in your config like this:

"rules": {
  "indent": "off"
}

You can read more in the docs here.

Answer 3

I had to add more rules. To turn off linting for react and jsx-indent

"rules": {
    "indent": "off",
    "react/jsx-indent": "off",
    "react/jsx-indent-props": "off"
}
