Help Request: eslint_d

[DennisTheMenace780]

Hey folks,

I am trying to get eslint_d set up and I have two questions:

1. Is there a way that null-ls can source a pre-existing .eslintrc.js file in a project root?
2. Assuming the answer to 1 is "no", how could you go about extending the rules from null-ls to add something like sort-imports as an option to specify and sort imports?
3. Is it possible to add different plugins, such as eslint-plugin-simple-import-sort?

Getting a formatter configured is a bit tricky for someone doing this for the first time, so any direction or guidance would be great while I continue my searching.

To answer your first question: yes, but this should theoretically work out-of-the-box. null-ls will use this list of patterns to find the nearest config file, then use that as the cwd for the ESLint process (which should allow it to pick up the config file). That'll allow full use of configuration / plugins, just as if you spawned eslint from the command line yourself.

I'm not sure why it's not working (there's an infinite variety of project structures out there) but you may want to consider just using the ESLint language server instead.

Just curious, but is there a way to echo what the file is that is being used? I'd be interested to test if the right file is being picked up.

You can use debug mode to see where null-ls is spawning eslint. ESLint itself may also have some sort of debug mode.
