## Install

npm install --save-dev eslint-formatter-pretty
```

*Please note that to use version 6 of this package you will HAVE to use ESLint v9+. If you're using ESLint v8 or below, install with `npm install --save-dev eslint-formatter-pretty@5` instead.*

## Usage

### [XO](https://github.com/xojs/xo)

Nothing to do. It's the default formatter.

### ESLint CLI

```sh
eslint --format=pretty file.js
```

### [grunt-eslint](https://github.com/sindresorhus/grunt-eslint)

```js
grunt.initConfig({
	eslint: {
		target: ['file.js'],
		options: {
			format: 'pretty'
		}
	}
});

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-eslint');
grunt.registerTask('default', ['eslint']);
```

### [gulp-eslint](https://github.com/adametry/gulp-eslint)

```js
import gulp from 'gulp';
import eslint from 'gulp-eslint';

export const lint = (
	gulp.src('file.js')
		.pipe(eslint())
		.pipe(eslint.format('pretty'))
);
```

### [eslint-loader](https://github.com/MoOx/eslint-loader) *(webpack)*

```js
import eslintFormatterPretty from 'eslint-formatter-pretty';

export default {
	entry: ['file.js'],
	module: {
		rules: [
			{
				test: /\.js$/,
				exclude: /node_modules/,
				loader: 'eslint-loader',
				options: {
					formatter: eslintFormatterPretty
				}
			}
		]
	}
};
```

## Tips

In terminals with [hyperlink support](https://gist.github.com/egmontkob/eb114294efbcd5adb1944c9f3cb5feda#supporting-apps), click the filename header to open the file in your editor, or click a rule ID to open its documentation.

In iTerm, <kbd>Command</kbd>-click the filename headers (like `index.js`) to open files at the specific line and column.
