About the project

Eslint is static analysis tool that finds common JavaScript problems. The maintainers own the project, choose releases, and publish their own documentation. This page records a few things worth knowing before you begin.

The project is run by its own contributors rather than by a company. Release cadence, supported platforms and documentation are all decided by the team behind it.

Typical distribution routes

There is no single universal route here. Maintainers usually describe the supported options themselves, and the choice varies between platforms and between releases.

Before you start

Look at the supported versions before anything else. Projects narrow their platform range over time, and older systems can be dropped without much warning.

Afterwards

If the outcome differs from what you expected, the cause is nearly always resolution rather than the project itself — an older copy, a different channel, or a stale cache.
