Leverage eslint-plugin-compat with `this.project.targets`

[cibernox]

Some context: https://github.com/amilajack/eslint-plugin-compat

This eslint plugin is gaining popularity. The idea is to customize the rules based on the target browsers, warning when the user attempts to use a feature that is not present across the board for the entire support matrix, unless it has been polyfilled.

Examples of those include:

• fetch
• MutationObservers
• WebAssembly

This issue intends to be a placeholder to discuss wether we want to bake this into this plugin or develop it as a separate addon, and track its implementation if needed.

I'm generally in favor, but I think the extent of things here would be to update the default .eslintrc.js file in the blueprint.

We should experiment with the config required, but I suspect something like this should suffice:

const targets = require('config/targets');

module.exports = {
  root: true,
  parserOptions: {
    ecmaVersion: 6,
    sourceType: 'module'
  },
  extends: 'eslint:recommended',
  env: {
    browser: true
  },
  plugins: ['compat'],
  rules: {
    'compat/compat': [2, targets.browsers]
  }
};

Can someone test / confirm this?

[cibernox]

I'll try to teste it once the first ember-cli 2.13-beta with support for targets goes out

The beauty of this is that all you have to have is a config/targets.js file for the above to work, no need to wait 😺

We should confirm the above works properly now...

in my case I got such error:

Configuration for rule "compat/compat" is invalid:
    Value "ie 11,last 2 Edge versions,last 2 Chrome versions,last 2 Firefox versions,last 1 Safari versions" has more items than allowed.

though if I omitted targets.browsers, e.g.: 'compat/compat': 2 it was ok ...

Ditto on the above. Getting this error with latest ember-cli, eslint, etc.

Actually I guess it's slightly different:

Configuration for rule "compat/compat" is invalid:
    Value "last 2 Edge versions,last 2 Chrome versions,last 2 Firefox versions,last 2 Safari versions,last 2 iOS versions,last 2 ChromeAndroid versions" should NOT have more than 0 items.

Couldn't get eslint-plugin-compat to accept the browser targets via the rule and I'm not sure it currently supports that option. However, it does support specifying the targets in eslintrc using settings! Also had to provide a relative path for the require too.

Working config:

const targets = require('./config/targets');

module.exports = {
  root: true,
  parserOptions: {
    ecmaVersion: 6,
    sourceType: 'module'
  },
  extends: 'eslint:recommended',
  env: {
    browser: true
  },
  settings: {
    targets: targets.browsers
  },
  plugins: ['compat'],
  rules: {
    'compat/compat': 2
  }
};

Tested with:

ember-cli-eslint@4.2.0
eslint-plugin-compat@1.0.4

Passing targets through settings: {..} also worked for me.

Actually eslint-plugin-compat does not currently support everything, for example Object.assign will pass through without a notice. So use with caution.
