Why another ESLint action?

The others I tried to use ran ESLint in NodeJS themselves. With this action, I can take an ESLint report generated from the command line and process the results.

This allows for more flexibility on how ESLint is run. This action is agnostic enough to handle different configurations, extensions, etc. across projects without making assumptions on how ESLint should be run.

Inputs

Name Description Required Default Value
repo-token The GITHUB_TOKEN secret Yes N/A
report-json The path to the ESLint report JSON file No eslint_report.json
only-pr-files Only annotate files changed when run on the pull_request event No true
fail-on-warning Fail the GitHub Action when ESLint warnings are detected. Set to true to enable. No false
