How do I configure ESLint to allow fat arrow class methods

ESLint is throwing a Parsing error: Unexpected token = error when I try to lint my Es6 classes. What configuration parameter am I missing to enable fat arrow class methods in eslint?

Sample class: 

class App extends React.Component{
    ...
    handleClick = (evt) => {
        ...
    }
}

.eslint

{
  "ecmaFeatures": {
    "jsx": true,
    "modules":true,
    "arrowFunctions":true,
    "classes":true,
    "spread":true,

  },
  "env": {
    "browser": true,
    "node": true,
    "es6": true
  },
  "rules": {
    "strict": 0,
    "no-underscore-dangle": 0,
    "quotes": [
      2,
      "single"
    ],
  }
}
Solution

  • If you want to use experimental features (such as arrows as class methods) you need to use babel-eslint as a parser. Default parser (Espree) doesn't support experimental features.
