ESLint v3.7.0 released

Highlights

This is a summary of the major changes you need to know about for this version of ESLint. Though it’s a smaller release, it does include the ability to autofix a number of rules!

Autofixing

In addition to linting code, many of the rules can automatically fix errors using the --fix flag. This can be a huge time saver for developers using ESLint on a pre-existing codebase! The following rules can now be autofixed:

• prefer-numeric-literals
• no-undef-init
• no-useless-computed-key
• lines-around-directive
• wrap-iife
• dot-location
• yoda
• no-extra-parens
