What is ESLint?

ESLint is a tool which allows us to write clean, optimized, organized & valid JavaScript code by following a set of rules or coding guidelines.

ESLint has already been integrated in Visual Studio 2017 by Microsoft. You can enable or disable it as per your project requirement.

ESLint follows rules from a file named .eslintrc which you can find on below location. You can also modify this file and change rules as per your project requirement.
