Turning off eslint rule for a specific line

Question

In order to turn off linting rule for a particular line in JSHint we use the following rule:

/* jshint ignore:start*/ $scope.someVar = ConstructorFunction(); /* jshint ignore:end */ 

I have been trying to locate the equivalent of the above for eslint.

Answer 1

To disable next line:

// eslint-disable-next-line no-use-before-define var thing = new Thing(); 

Or use the single line syntax:

var thing = new Thing(); // eslint-disable-line no-use-before-define 

See the eslint docs

Answer 2

Update

ESlint has now been updated with a better way disable a single line, see @goofballLogic's excellent answer.

Old answer:

You can use the following

/*eslint-disable */  //suppress all warnings between comments alert('foo');  /*eslint-enable */ 

Which is slightly buried in the "configuring rules" section of the docs;

To disable a warning for an entire file, you can include a comment at the top of the file e.g.

/*eslint eqeqeq:0*/
