Auto-fix and format your JavaScript with ESLint

Auto-fix and format your JavaScript with ESLint

When it comes to analyzing JavaScript program errors, ESLint is one of the best linting tools available. ESLint provides checks for a large set of potential errors and style violations. Its pluggable architecture also enables anyone to write their own rules and custom configurations.

One of my favorite features is the ability to auto-fix using the –fix flag. Integrating auto-fix provides constant feedback by cleaning up mistakes and keeping code clean before you check it in to a repository. This saves time for you and your team when reviewing code by ensuring that the code contributed doesn’t require little clean ups.

I like to do this cleanup right away whenever I save a file in my editor. It provides a quick feedback loop and persists the fixed changes to disk. In this article, I am going to show you how to do that as well for some popular editors.
