Error Message: No eslint configuration found
Explanation: The error message “No eslint configuration found” indicates that ESLint is not able to find a configuration file. ESLint requires a configuration file in order to know which rules to apply and how to lint your code.
Solution: To fix this error, you will need to create an ESLint configuration file in your project. The configuration file can be named either “.eslintrc.json” or “.eslintrc.js”. Here is an example of an ESLint configuration file:
{
"env": {
"browser": true,
"es2021": true
},
"extends": [
"eslint:recommended"
],
"parserOptions": {
"ecmaVersion": 12,
"sourceType": "module"
},
"rules": {
"semi": "error",
"quotes": ["error", "single"]
}
}
In the above example, the configuration file specifies that the code is intended to run in a browser environment and uses ECMAScript 2021 features. It extends the “eslint:recommended” set of rules, which are commonly used rules that help enforce good coding practices. It also sets a couple of specific rules, such as requiring semicolons and using single quotes for strings.
Once you have created the ESLint configuration file, make sure it is placed in the root directory of your project. ESLint will automatically detect the configuration file and apply the specified rules to your code during linting.
