| 1 | +# ESLint Multi-Format Formatter |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +The ESLint plugin uses a custom formatter that supports multiple output formats and destinations simultaneously. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Configuration |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +Use the `ESLINT_FORMATTER_CONFIG` environment variable to configure the formatter with JSON. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +### Configuration Schema |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +```json |
| 12 | +{ |
| 13 | + "outputDir": "./reports", // Optional: Output directory (default: cwd/.eslint) |
| 14 | + "filename": "eslint-report", // Optional: Base filename without extension (default: 'eslint-report') |
| 15 | + "formats": ["json", "html"], // Optional: Array of format names for file output (default: ['json']) |
| 16 | + "terminal": "stylish", // Optional: Format for terminal output (default: 'stylish') |
| 17 | + "verbose": true // Optional: Enable verbose logging (default: false) |
| 18 | +} |
| 19 | +``` |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +### Supported Formats |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +All standard ESLint formatters are supported: |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +- `stylish` (default terminal output) |
| 26 | +- `json` (default file output) |
| 27 | +- `json-with-metadata` |
| 28 | +- `html` |
| 29 | +- `xml` |
| 30 | +- `checkstyle` |
| 31 | +- `junit` |
| 32 | +- `tap` |
| 33 | +- `unix` |
| 34 | +- `compact` |
| 35 | +- `codeframe` |
| 36 | +- `table` |
| 37 | +- Custom formatters (any string) |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +## Usage Examples |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +### Basic Usage |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +```bash |
| 44 | +# Default behavior - JSON file output + stylish console output |
| 45 | +npx eslint . |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +# Custom output directory and filename |
| 48 | +ESLINT_FORMATTER_CONFIG='{"outputDir":"./ci-reports","filename":"lint-results"}' npx eslint . |
| 49 | +# Creates: ci-reports/lint-results.json + terminal output |
| 50 | +``` |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +### Multiple Output Formats |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +```bash |
| 55 | +# Generate multiple file formats |
| 56 | +ESLINT_FORMATTER_CONFIG='{"formats":["json","html","xml"],"terminal":"stylish"}' npx eslint . |
| 57 | +# Creates: .eslint/eslint-report.json, .eslint/eslint-report.html, .eslint/eslint-report.xml + terminal output |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +# Custom directory with multiple formats |
| 60 | +ESLINT_FORMATTER_CONFIG='{"outputDir":"./reports","filename":"eslint-results","formats":["json","html","checkstyle"]}' npx eslint . |
| 61 | +# Creates: reports/eslint-results.json, reports/eslint-results.html, reports/eslint-results.xml |
| 62 | +``` |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +### Terminal Output Only |
| 65 | + |
| 66 | +```bash |
| 67 | +# Only show terminal output, no files |
| 68 | +ESLINT_FORMATTER_CONFIG='{"formats":[],"terminal":"compact"}' npx eslint . |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +# Different terminal format |
| 71 | +ESLINT_FORMATTER_CONFIG='{"formats":[],"terminal":"unix"}' npx eslint . |
| 72 | +``` |
| 73 | + |
| 74 | +### Configuration from File |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +```bash |
| 77 | +# Create a configuration file |
| 78 | +cat > eslint-config.json << 'EOF' |
| 79 | +{ |
| 80 | + "outputDir": "./ci-reports", |
| 81 | + "filename": "eslint-report", |
| 82 | + "formats": ["json", "junit"], |
| 83 | + "terminal": "stylish", |
| 84 | + "verbose": true |
| 85 | +} |
| 86 | +EOF |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +# Use the configuration file |
| 89 | +ESLINT_FORMATTER_CONFIG="$(cat eslint-config.json)" npx eslint . |
| 90 | +``` |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +## Default Behavior |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +When no `ESLINT_FORMATTER_CONFIG` is provided, the formatter uses these defaults: |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +- **outputDir**: `./.eslint` (relative to current working directory) |
| 97 | +- **filename**: `eslint-report` |
| 98 | +- **formats**: `["json"]` |
| 99 | +- **terminal**: `stylish` |
| 100 | +- **verbose**: `false` |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +This means by default you get: |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +- A JSON file at `./.eslint/eslint-report.json` |
| 105 | +- Stylish terminal output |
