Feature Request: Ability to configure different indenting on template literals

The version of ESLint you are using. 5.4.0 The problem you want to solve. Ability to configure indent rule for template literals

Your take on the correct solution to problem.

Right now, the following code:

const example = `This is a nice template literal ${1 + 1
  }. Like it?`;

module.exports = example;

throws this error:

/home/luis/tmp/index.js
  2:1  error  Expected indentation of 0 spaces but found 2  indent

I would like to be able to specify, for text literals, that I want to indent it to 2 (or any other configurable number of spaces) after the previous line.

I didn’t find a way to set in the documentation.

@kaicataldo I think the behavior you’re observing is a result of the indent rule never enforcing any indentation for the operator/RHS of binary expressions. It’s not related to template literals in particular.

Unfortunately, it looks like there wasn’t enough interest from the team or community to implement this change. While we wish we’d be able to accommodate everyone’s requests, we do need to prioritize. We’ve found that issues failing to reach accepted status after 21 days tend to never be accepted, and as such, we close those issues. This doesn’t mean the idea isn’t interesting or useful, just that it’s not something the team can commit to.

Thanks for contributing to ESLint and we appreciate your understanding.
