Inline ignore comments

Ignore comments provide an escape hatch for exceptional cases where a rule is correct in general but needs to be suppressed in a small, well scoped section of code. Inline comments override configuration files.

Oxlint supports line comments (//) and block comments (/* */). Comments must start with one of the keywords below.

oxlint-disable

Disable one or more rules until the end of the file, or until they are re enabled.

// Disable Oxlint for the rest of the file
/* oxlint-disable */

// Disable a single rule in this file
/* oxlint-disable no-console */

// Disable multiple rules in this file
/* oxlint-disable no-console, no-alert */

oxlint-enable

Enable one or more rules until the end of the file, or until they are disabled again.

/* oxlint-enable no-console */

/* oxlint-enable no-console, no-alert */

oxlint-disable-line

Disable one or more rules on the current line.

console.log("Hello, world!"); // oxlint-disable-line no-console

console.log(x++); // oxlint-disable-line no-console, no-plusplus

oxlint-enable-line

Enable one or more rules on the current line.

// oxlint-enable-line no-console

oxlint-disable-next-line

Disable one or more rules on the line following the comment, then re enable them automatically.

// oxlint-disable-next-line no-console
console.log("Hello, world!"); // allowed because of the previous comment
console.log(x++); // not allowed because the previous comment only applied to the previous line

// oxlint-disable-next-line no-console, no-plusplus
console.log("Hello, world!"); // allowed

oxlint-enable-next-line

Enable one or more rules on the line following the comment, then re enable automatically.

// oxlint-enable-next-line no-console

ESLint compatibility

For compatibility with existing ESLint codebases, the same keywords are supported with oxlint replaced by eslint, such as /* eslint-disable */ and // eslint-disable-next-line.

The oxlint-* form is recommended. The eslint-* form is useful during migration for rules that Oxlint does not support yet.

Rule options cannot be changed inline

Ignore comments can enable or disable rules, but they cannot change rule options. Rule options belong in configuration files.

Report unused ignore comments

Reporting unused ignore comments is disabled by default. When enabled, Oxlint reports comments such as // oxlint-disable-line when no diagnostics would have been reported on that line.

Enable reporting:

oxlint --report-unused-disable-directives

Specify the severity:

oxlint --report-unused-disable-directives-severity error

Only one of these options can be used at a time.
