library1.0.0jsnpmunverified

An ESLint formatter that outputs a simple list of files containing lint errors, suitable for piping into editors like vim or nvim. Version 1.0.0 is stable but not actively developed. It is a minimal alternative to default formatters like stylish or compact, focusing on machine-parseable output. No recent updates; works with ESLint 1.x to 8.x on Node >=4.

Verified usage

Verified import paths — ran on the pinned version, not inferred.

formatter
✓ import formatter from 'eslint-formatter-list'
✗ const formatter = require('eslint-formatter-list')
Package exports a single function. ESM import works if Node >=13.2 or with bundler. CommonJS require also works as package is dual CJS/ESM? Actually only CJS module, but import works via default interop.
output
✓ const result = formatter(results);
✗ const result = formatter(results, config);
The formatter function takes only results array as argument. ESLint's formatter API expects (results, config) but config is ignored.
eslint --format
✓ eslint --format=eslint-formatter-list file.js
✗ eslint --format eslint-formatter-list file.js
The --format flag expects a module name, not a path. Using equals sign is required on some shells to avoid argument ambiguity.

Shows installation and basic CLI usage to list files with errors.

// Install: npm install --save-dev eslint eslint-formatter-list // Use via ESLint CLI: eslint --format=node_modules/eslint-formatter-list src/
