# ESLint Processor
## Purpose
Lints JavaScript and TypeScript files using [ESLint](https://eslint.org/).
## How It Works
Discovers `.js`, `.jsx`, `.ts`, `.tsx`, `.mjs`, and `.cjs` files in the project
(excluding common build tool directories), runs `eslint` on each file, and records
success in the cache. A non-zero exit code from eslint fails the product.
This processor supports batch mode, allowing multiple files to be checked in a
single eslint invocation for better performance.
If an ESLint config file exists (`.eslintrc*` or `eslint.config.*`), it is
automatically added as an extra input so that configuration changes trigger rebuilds.
## Source Files
- Input: `**/*.js`, `**/*.jsx`, `**/*.ts`, `**/*.tsx`, `**/*.mjs`, `**/*.cjs`
- Output: none (checker)
## Configuration
```toml
[processor.eslint]
command = "eslint"
args = []
dep_inputs = []
```
| `command` | string | `"eslint"` | The eslint executable to run |
| `args` | string[] | `[]` | Extra arguments passed to eslint |
| `dep_inputs` | string[] | `[]` | Extra files whose changes trigger rebuilds |
## Batch support
The tool accepts multiple files on the command line. When batching is enabled (default), rsconstruct passes all files in a single invocation for better performance.
## Clean behavior
This processor is a Checker — `rsconstruct clean outputs` is a no-op for it (checkers produce no outputs). See [Clean behavior](../processors.md#clean-behavior) and [`rsconstruct clean`](../commands.md#rsconstruct-clean).
