Enable it in your `package.json` with the `extends` option: ```json { "name": "my-awesome-project", "eslintConfig": { "extends": "plugin:unicorn/recommended" } } ``` See the [ESLint docs](https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring#extending-configuration-files) for more information about extending config files. **Note**: This config will also enable the correct [parser options](https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring#specifying-parser-options) and [environment](https://eslint.org/docs/user-guide/configuring#specifying-environments). ## Maintainers - [Sindre Sorhus](https://github.com/sindresorhus) - [Adam Babcock](https://github.com/MrHen) - [futpib](https://github.com/futpib) - [Fisker Cheung](https://github.com/fisker) ###### Former - [Jeroen Engels](https://github.com/jfmengels) - [Sam Verschueren](https://github.com/SamVerschueren)
