I just wrote a PR that didn’t pass the Travis tests due to linting issues. I couldn’t find any entries in meta that discussed eslinting/prettier, so I went digging around the code and found out how to improve my code to fit with the styling and listing standards of Discourse. This may be useful for …

I personally use prettier-atom which automatically fix the errors on save and linter-eslint which provides JIT notifications on whether I broke any eslint rules.

Rubocop is related but not the same thing, we should definitely add nice links to the op pointing at each other

I recommend installing overcommit which adds hooks to your git repository and runs the linters (Rubocop and EsLint) on changed files before each commit.

It doesn’t run prettier though :frowning:

It could be added: https://github.com/juriewessels/overcommit-prettier But I haven’t looked into it, because my IDE is running prettier. :wink:
