Can't change ESlint eqeqeq option to "smart"

Question

There is errors in my code:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error eqeqeq (ESLint) Expected '!==' and instead saw '!='.

I can't find where to disable ONLY the eqeqeq option.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

To turn off the eqeqeq rule everywhere:

1. Open Windows Explorer with Windows Key + E
2. Paste exactly this into your URL bar: %USERPROFILE% and hit Enter
3. Find the file .eslintrc
4. Right-click
5. open with..., Notepad (or your favorite text editor)
6. Find:

"rules": {
    "eqeqeq": "always",

and change it to "off" to disable, or "smart" (see below):

"rules": {
    "eqeqeq": "off",

---

smart

The "smart" option enforces the use of === and !== except for these cases:

Comparing two literal values
Evaluating the value of typeof
Comparing against null

7. Then, Restart Visual Studio for it to take effect.

To turn off the eqeqeq rule on a per file basis, paste this at the top of your .js file:

/*eslint eqeqeq: "off"*/

To turn off the all ESLint functionality on a per-project basis, create a file named .eslintrc.json in your project's root folder, (or any folder you want ESLint turned off), with the following contents:

{ }
