eslint-plugin-promise

Enforce best practices for JavaScript promises.

travis-ci npm version code style: prettier

Installation

You'll first need to install ESLint:

$ npm install eslint --save-dev 

Next, install eslint-plugin-promise:

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

Note: If you installed ESLint globally (using the -g flag) then you must also install eslint-plugin-promise globally.

Usage

Add promise to the plugins section of your .eslintrc.json configuration file. You can omit the eslint-plugin- prefix:

{ "plugins": ["promise"] }

Then configure the rules you want to use under the rules section.

{ "rules": { "promise/always-return": "error", "promise/no-return-wrap": "error", "promise/param-names": "error", "promise/catch-or-return": "error", "promise/no-native": "off", "promise/no-nesting": "warn", "promise/no-promise-in-callback": "warn", "promise/no-callback-in-promise": "warn", "promise/avoid-new": "warn", "promise/no-new-statics": "error", "promise/no-return-in-finally": "warn", "promise/valid-params": "warn" } }

or start with the recommended rule set:

{ "extends": ["plugin:promise/recommended"] }
