title: Configure Language Options
order: 3

---

The JavaScript ecosystem has a variety of runtimes, versions, extensions, and frameworks. Each of these can have different supported syntax and global variables. ESLint lets you configure language options specific to the JavaScript used in your project, like custom global variables. You can also use plugins to extend ESLint to support your project's language options.

An environment provides predefined global variables. The available environments are:

* `browser` - browser global variables.
* `node` - Node.js global variables and Node.js scoping.
* `commonjs` - CommonJS global variables and CommonJS scoping (use this for browser-only code that uses Browserify/WebPack).
* `shared-node-browser` - Globals common to both Node.js and Browser.
* `es6` - enable all ECMAScript 6 features except for modules (this automatically sets the `ecmaVersion` parser option to 6).
* `es2016` - adds all ECMAScript 2016 globals and automatically sets the `ecmaVersion` parser option to 7.
* `es2017` - adds all ECMAScript 2017 globals and automatically sets the `ecmaVersion` parser option to 8.
* `es2018` - adds all ECMAScript 2018 globals and automatically sets the `ecmaVersion` parser option to 9.

* `es2024` - adds all ECMAScript 2024 globals and automatically sets the `ecmaVersion` parser option to 15.
* `worker` - web workers global variables.
* `amd` - defines `require()` and `define()` as global variables as per the [amd](https://github.com/amdjs/amdjs-api/blob/master/AMD.md) spec.

Parser options are set in your `.eslintrc.*` file with the `parserOptions` property. The available options are:

* `ecmaVersion` - set to 3, 5 (default), 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 to specify the version of ECMAScript syntax you want to use. You can also set it to 2015 (same as 6), 2016 (same as 7), 2017 (same as 8), 2018 (same as 9), 2019 (same as 10), 2020 (same as 11), 2021 (same as 12), 2022 (same as 13), 2023 (same as 14), or 2024 (same as 15) to use the year-based naming. You can also set `"latest"` to use the most recently supported version.
* `sourceType` - set to `"script"` (default) or `"module"` if your code is in ECMAScript modules.
* `allowReserved` - allow the use of reserved words as identifiers (if `ecmaVersion` is 3).
* `ecmaFeatures` - an object indicating which additional language features you'd like to use:
* `globalReturn` - allow `return` statements in the global scope
* `impliedStrict` - enable global [strict mode](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Strict_mode) (if `ecmaVersion` is 5 or greater)
* `jsx` - enable [JSX](https://facebook.github.io/jsx/)
* `ecmaVersion` - set to 3, 5 (default), 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, or 15 to specify the version of ECMAScript syntax you want to use.
