This updater's default task will replace the .eslintrc.json file in the current working directory with either ~/templates/_eslintrc.json (defined by you in user home), or if a template does not exist in user home the default template will be used.
Tasks on updater-eslint are by run using the syntax eslint:foo, where foo is the task name:
Example
The following will run the bar task from updater foo:
$ update foo:bar
^ ^
updater taskDefault task
If a task is not explicitly passed Update's CLI will run the default task.
Update the .eslintrc.json file in the current working directory.

module.exports = function(app) {
// register updater-eslint as a plugin
app.use(require('updater-eslint'));
// run the `default` task on updater-eslint
app.task('eslint', function(cb) {
app.update('updater-eslint', cb);
});
// run a specific task on updater-eslint
// (where `foo` is the name of the task to run)
app.task('eslint', function(cb) {
app.update('updater-eslint:foo', cb);
});
