eslint --init does not add settings as required by #1955

[AlbinoGeek]

Hello!

So, why does eslint --init ask me if I'm using React, if it doesn't bother to add settings as required by #1955 ?

Maybe this issue belongs in eslint repository itself? But why does it have options for React? Who's responsible for that piece?

It literally only needs to add the following:

  "settings": {
    "react": {
      "version": "detect"
    }
  }

I expect initializers to give you a known-good/working configuration, it currently does not.

That is not a reasonable expectation, but yes, I’d file it on eslint itself.

I'd like to understand what you mean by this.

eslint --init configures your project based on an interactive questionaire

One of the questions has you select React as your framework, and it changes your generated configuration.

Why and how would it be unreasonable to expect it, when it generates configuration, to generate one extra directive to make it work out of the box?

I will lodge the issue over there.
