I've installed eslint-config-airbnb that is supposed to pre configure ESLINT for React:
Our default export contains all of our ESLint rules, including
ECMAScript 6+ and React. It requires eslint, eslint-plugin-import,
eslint-plugin-react, and eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y.
My .eslintrc
extending its configuration:
{ "extends": "eslint-config-airbnb",
"env": {
"browser": true,
"node": true,
"mocha": true
},
"rules": {
"new-cap": [2, { "capIsNewExceptions": ["List", "Map", "Set"] }],
"react/no-multi-comp": 0,

"import/no-duplicates": 0,
"import/named": 0,

"import/no-unresolved": 0,
"import/no-named-as-default": 2,
"comma-dangle": 0, // not sure why airbnb turned this on. gross!
"indent": [2, 2, {"SwitchCase": 1}],
"no-console": 0,
"no-alert": 0,

},
"plugins": [

],
"settings": {
"import/parser": "babel-eslint",
"import/resolve": {
"moduleDirectory": ["node_modules", "src"]
}
},
"globals": {
"__DEVELOPMENT__": true,
"__CLIENT__": true,

"__DISABLE_SSR__": true,
"__DEVTOOLS__": true,
"socket": true,
"webpackIsomorphicTools": true
}
}
Unfortunatelly I'm getting the following error when linting a .js file with React JSX code inside it:
error JSX not allowed in files with extension '.js' react/jsx-filename-extension
Wasn't eslint-config-airbnb configured react to support JSX already, as stated ?
What should be done to remove that error ?
Either change your file extensions to .jsx
as mentioned or disable the jsx-filename-extension rule. You can add the following to your config to allow .js
extensions for JSX.
"rules": {
"react/jsx-filename-extension": [1, { "extensions": [".js", ".jsx"] }],
}
It's work for me. hope to help you.
disable jsx-filename-extension in .eslintrc
:
"rules": {
"react/jsx-filename-extension": [0]
}
in webpack.config.js
:
resolve: {
extensions: ['.js', '.jsx']
},
If you don't want to change your file extension, you can export a function that returns jsx, and then import and call that function in your js file.
// greeter.jsx
import React from 'react';
export default name => (
<div>
{`Hello, ${name}!`}
</div>
);
and then
// index.js
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import greeter from './components/greeter';
const main = document.getElementsByTagName('main')[0];
ReactDOM.render(greeter('World'), main);
Call me a dummy if it does not work for you
"rules": {
"react/jsx-filename-extension": [0],
"import/extensions": "off"
}
To expound on Martin's answer, it seems that it is not possible, currently, to use JSX
in React Native. A PR was created but reverted due to concerns about fragmentation and unknown consequences of having things like index.ios.jsx
. I'm not sure how AirBnb works around this or if they do, but I have used basically the same rules
block as Martin.
Following React documentation:
Each JSX element is just syntactic sugar for calling React.createElement(component, props, ...children).
Following Airbnb's style guide:
Do not use React.createElement unless you’re initializing the app from a file that is not JSX.
You could do this:
//index.js
const app = React.createElement(App);
ReactDOM.render(app, document.getElementById('root'));
"rules": {
"react/jsx-filename-extension":{"extensions": ".js"},
}
