And for anyone who might want the config that I'm using for ESLINT - this is the current one (and hopefully the last since I've seriously lost track of how many different versions I've tried over the last few years.
Please note that this config ONLY works for the runtime of your custom nodes. It will not play nicely with the html file that is loaded into the Editor. I now have my editor panel source code in a separate src folder in 4 parts to make it a lot easier to code. That folder has a different eslint config.
Also note that this config assumes node.js v12 LTS right now which matches the current Node-RED v2 minimum version. When Node-RED v3 comes out, I'll be updating my configs to use Node.js v14 LTS. As you can see, that will open up a bunch of new JavaScript capabilities, some of which are really useful such as private class methods and others will make code shorter such as optional chaining. Node.js v14 will also finally start to bring together node.js's full support for ECMA Modules which should make migration a tiny bit easier.
/** JavaScript Versions
* 5 is minimum -> Last IE11
* 6 = 2015 -> Node >8.10, iOS12+
* 7 = 2016 -> FF78+,
* 8 = 2017 -> Node 10.9+
* 9 = 2018 -> Node 12.11+
* 10 = 2019 -> Node 12.20 LTS
* 11 = 2020 -> Node 14 LTS
* 12 = 2021 -> Node 16
*/
