hyphenless (JS compatible) rule name

I’m using ESLint 3.19.0.

Issue

Many ESLint rule names and rule options include hyphen. In JS(ES6), identifier cannot include hyphen. cf: Variables - JavaScript | MDN

Therefore, in JS format configuration file, rule names as object keys should be quoted.

It causes a bit of frustration. (just a stylistic issue)

My take on it

I think that ESLint might as well accept snake_case or/and lowerCamelCase alias rule name that don’t need to be quoted.

Personally, I don’t think it’s worth introducing the complications of automatically converting camelcase rule names just for the benefit of making config files more concise.

Thanks for your interest in improving ESLint. Unfortunately, it looks like this issue didn’t get enough support from the team and so I’m closing it. 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 consensus after a long time tend to never do it, and as such, we close those issues. This doesn’t mean the idea isn’t interesting, just that it’s not something the team can commit to.
