## Installation

You'll first need to install [ESLint](http://eslint.org):

```
$ npm install eslint --save-dev
```

Next, install `eslint-plugin-promise`:

```
$ npm install eslint-plugin-promise --save-dev
```

**Note:** If you installed ESLint globally (using the `-g` flag) then you must
also install `eslint-plugin-promise` globally.

## Usage

Add `promise` to the plugins section of your `.eslintrc.json` configuration
file. You can omit the `eslint-plugin-` prefix:

```json
{
  "plugins": ["promise"]
}
```

Then configure the rules you want to use under the rules section.

```json
{
  "rules": {
    "promise/always-return": "error",
    "promise/no-return-wrap": "error",
    "promise/param-names": "error",
    "promise/catch-or-return": "error",
    "promise/no-native": "off",
    "promise/no-nesting": "warn",
    "promise/no-promise-in-callback": "warn",
    "promise/no-callback-in-promise": "warn",
    "promise/avoid-new": "warn",
    "promise/no-new-statics": "error",
    "promise/no-return-in-finally": "warn",
    "promise/valid-params": "warn"
  }
}
```

or start with the recommended rule set:

```json
{
  "extends": ["plugin:promise/recommended"]
}
```

## Rules

| [`avoid-new`][avoid-new]                                 | Avoid creating `new` promises outside of utility libs (use [pify][] instead)     |             |          |
| [`no-new-statics`][no-new-statics]                       | Avoid calling `new` on a Promise static method                                   | :bangbang:  | :wrench: |

| [`valid-params`][valid-params]                           | Ensures the proper number of arguments are passed to Promise functions           | :warning:   |          |
| [`prefer-await-to-then`][prefer-await-to-then]           | Prefer `await` to `then()` for reading Promise values                            | :seven:     |          |
