Configuration to use a formatter

[bartocc]

In our codebase, we use [email protected] and https://github.com/lint-todo/eslint-formatter-todo to create a .lint-todo file that will keep track of all the places where we have eslint errors. The codebase is large, and this is very handy to plan the fixes and never loose track of them.

In the CLI, eslint . --format @lint-todo/eslint-formatter-todo is the command we use, and all the TODOs are silenced until they hit their error date.

But in VSCode, we still see the errors because the formatter is not used by vscode-eslint.

I am looking for a way to do so, and did not find any extension option for this.

Is that possible?

This is currently not possible since the ESLint extension doesn't print any detected problems to the console.

What I can think of is using a task and run ESLint as a normal OS process. Task are very flexible and I am pretty sure you can configure one that does the work. The only downside is that for task there aren't any automatic triggers. So you need to run / trigger them from time to time yourself.

Let me know if that helps.

Thk @dbaeumer for the ideas about tasks. I'll see if this can fit our dev process…
