Feature Request: re-enable global installs

Just upgraded from ESLint 6.x to 7.8.1 and I’ve noticed that it no longer allows for global installs.

I know we should be installing this for every project, and I am, but I really liked the ability to have my code linted if I just created a quick .js file anywhere on my computer.

Previously I had it setup that most of my projects would have a local ESLint, but if I wanted to whip up a quick demo (several times a day for me), it would still lint my code.

So - maybe I’m not finding how to do this with 7, but from this thread it seems that feature was removed.

Could we have this added back in? Or is there another way we can get the benefit without having to do the whole install song-and-dance when I’m editing a 20 line .js file?

Thanks a lot 😃

Closing as we don’t plan on making a change for this issue.

Is it possible to have that dynamically look it up? The way I use it is via the eslint vs code plugin, it looks for a local install and if not it goes for the global install.
