Turning off eslint rule for a specific file

Question

Is it possible to turn off the eslint rule for the whole file  Something such as      eslint-disable-file no-use-before-define     Analogous to eslint-disable-line   It happens to me quite often  that in a certain file  I m breaking a specific rule on many places which is considered OK for that file  but I don t want to disable the rule for the whole project nor do I want to disable other rules for that specific file

You can just put this for example at the top of the file      eslint-disable no-console

As of today  the answer does not work for me  but putting this at the top of the file does work     eslint-disable  typescript-eslint no-unused-vars     It is important to know that at least in my case  the type of comment makes a difference  The previous comment works for me  but the following won t work     eslint-disable  typescript-eslint no-unused-vars

To disable specific rules for file s  inside folder s   you need to use the  quot overrides quot  key of your  eslintrc config file  For example  if you want to remove the following rules   no-use-before-define max-lines-per-function  For all files inside the following main directory   spec You can add this to your  eslintrc file     quot overrides quot              quot files quot     quot spec      js quot         quot rules quot            quot no-use-before-define quot     quot off quot           quot max-lines-per-function quot     quot off quot                Note that I used    inside the spec      js glob  which means I am looking recursively for all subfolders inside the folder called spec and selecting all files that ends with js in order to remove the desired rules from them
