Configuration

Flint config is where you can define the settings of processes run during Flint hooks. Config options define settings that apply to every file located in the repository.

Overview

Flint uses a JSON file to manage processes.

Below is an example configuration file formatting Javascript files with ESLint. It formats locally based on eslint.local.config.js file and remotely based on eslint.remote.config.js.

{
  "linters" :
  [
    {
      "extensions" : [ "js" ],
      "binary" : "node_modules/.bin/eslint",
      "commands" : {
        "local" : "--fix --config eslint.local.config.js --quiet",
        "remote" : "--fix --config eslint.remote.config.js --quiet"
      }
    }
  ]
}
