Based on the number of rules you want to ignore (All, or Some), and the scope of disabling it (Line(s), File(s), Everywhere), we have 2 × 3 = 6 cases.

1) Disabling “All rules”

Case 1.1: You want to disable “All Rules” for “One or more Lines”

Put /* eslint-disable-line */ at the end of the line(s) , or /* eslint-disable-next-line */ right before the line .

Case 1.2: You want to disable “All Rules” for “One File”

Put the comment of /* eslint-disable */ at the top of the file.

Case 1.3: You want to disable “All rules” for “Some Files”

There are 3 ways you can do this:

  1. You can go with 1.2 and add /* eslint-disable */ on top of the files, one by one.
  2. You can put the file name(s) in .eslintignore . This works well especially if you have a path that you want to be ignored. (e.g. apidoc/** )
  3. Alternatively, if you don’t want to have a separate .eslintignore file, you can add "eslintIgnore": ["file1.js", "file2.js"] in package.json as instructed here.

2) Disabling “Some Rules”

Case 2.1: You want to disable “Some Rules” for “One or more Lines”

You can put /* eslint-disable-line quotes */ (replace quotes with your rules) at the end of the line(s), or /* eslint-disable-next-line no-alert, quotes, semi */ before the line.

Case 2.2: You want to disable “Some Rules” for “One File”

Put the /* eslint-disable no-use-before-define */ comment at the top of the file. More examples here.

Case 2.3: You want to disable “Some Rules” for “Some files”

This is less straight-forward. You should put them in "excludedFiles" object of "overrides" section of your .eslintrc as instructed here.
