ESLint v3.8.0 released

by Toru Nagashima - 14 October 2016

We just pushed ESLint v3.8.0, which is a minor release upgrade of ESLint. This release adds a new feature and fixes several bugs found in the previous release.

Highlights

This is a summary of the major changes you need to know about for this version of ESLint.

Additional Property on Linting Results

If you're using the ESLint Node.js API or writing a custom formatter, you'll find that result object for each file now has a source property. This property contains the original source code from the file, allowing formatters to output contextual information along with linting error messages. This new source property on the file results object is intended to replace the source property on the lint message object, which will be removed in a later release. If you have a custom formatter making use of the source property on the lint message object, we recommend updating your formatter to check for the existence of the source property on the file results object and to use it if found. See the documentation for more information.
