How To Install eslint on Kali Linux

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install eslint on Kali Linux.

What is eslint

eslint is:

ESLint is a tool for identifying and reporting on patterns found in ECMAScript/JavaScript code. In many ways, it is similar to JSLint and JSHint with a few exceptions:

• ESLint uses Espree for JavaScript parsing
• ESLint uses an AST to evaluate patterns in code
• ESLint is completely pluggable, every single rule is a plugin and you can add more at runtime

Some uses of ESLint require additional packages:

• Use of parsers other than the default (Espree) require that parser, e.g. node-babel-eslint, node-esprima, or node-esprima-fb.
• Output format “code-frame” requires node-babel-code-frame.
• Output format “table” requires node-table and node-pluralize.
