eslint-plugin-backbone

Backbone specific linting rules for ESLint

#How to use

Install ESLint either locally or globally

npm install eslint@">=1.0.0"

or

npm install eslint@">=1.0.0" --save-dev

eslint-plugin-backbone requires ESLint with version greater then 1.0.0 if you would like to use your own base models.

Install Backbone plugins.

If you installed ESLint globally, you have to install Backbone plugin globally too. Otherwise, install it locally.

npm install eslint-plugin-backbone

or

npm install eslint-plugin-backbone --save-dev

Default configuration

If you are using ESLint >0.9.0 then this plugin will provide default configuration. If you are fine with defaults, you do not need to update your .eslintrc file.

Defaults are currently set to the following:

    "collection-model": 2,
    "defaults-on-top": 1,
    "event-scope": 1,
    "events-on-top": [1, ["tagName", "className"]],
    "initialize-on-top": [1, { View: ["tagName", "className", "events"], Model: ["defaults", "url", "urlRoot"], Collection: ["model", "url"] }],
    "model-defaults": 2,
    "no-changed-set": 2,
    "no-collection-models": 2,
    "no-constructor": 1,
    "no-el-assign": 2,
    "no-model-attributes": 2,
    "no-native-jquery": [1, "selector"],
    "no-silent": 1,
    "no-view-collection-models": 2,
    "no-view-model-attributes": 2,
    "no-view-onoff-binding": 2,
    "render-return": 2

Modify .eslintrc for your project

Add plugins section and specify eslint-plugin-backbone as a plugin

{
    "plugins": [
        "backbone"
    ]
}

Enable all of the rules that you would like to use

{
    "rules": {
        "backbone/collection-model": 1,
        "backbone/defaults-on-top": 1,
        "backbone/model-defaults": 1,
        "backbone/no-constructor": 1,
        "backbone/no-native-jquery": 1,
        ...
    }
}

If you are using custom models/view/collection bases you also have to specify each on in the settings section

{
    "settings": {
        "backbone": {
            "Collection": ["Backbone.NestedCollection", "MyCollection"],
            "Model": ["MyBaseModel"],
            "View": ["MyBaseView"]
        }
    }
}
