You'll first need to install ESLint:
``sh`
npm i eslint --save-dev
Next, install eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin:
`sh`
npm install eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin --save-dev
Here's an example ESLint configuration that:
- Enables the recommended configuration
- Enables an optional/non-recommended rule
Note: you might need to set sourceType to module or script depending on your codebase.
`js
// eslint.config.js
import eslintPlugin from 'eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin';
export default [
eslintPlugin.configs.recommended,
{
rules: {
'eslint-plugin/require-meta-docs-description': 'error',
},
},
];
`

The list of recommended rules will only change in a major release of this plugin. However, new non-recommended rules might be added in a minor release of this plugin. Therefore, using the all, rules, and tests presets is not recommended for production use, because the addition of new rules in a minor release could break your build.
Example of applying the recommended config to all files.
`js
// eslint.config.js
import eslintPlugin from 'eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin';
export default [eslintPlugin.configs.recommended];
`
Or to apply linting only to the appropriate rule or test files:
`js
// eslint.config.js
import eslintPlugin from 'eslint-plugin-eslint-plugin';
export default [
{
files: ['lib/rules/*.{js,ts}'],
...eslintPlugin.configs['rules-recommended'],
},
{
files: ['tests/lib/rules/*.{js,ts}'],
...eslintPlugin.configs['tests-recommended'],
},
];
