   npm install --save react react-dom

1. In the built-in Terminal (View | Tool Windows | Terminal), type:

   npm install --save-dev eslint
   npm install --save-dev eslint-plugin-react

2. Add a ESLint configuration file .eslintrc.* to your project. This can be a .eslintrc, .eslintrc.json, or .eslintrc.yaml file, or a file in another supported format. For more information, refer to the ESLint official website.

3. In the Settings dialog (CtrlAlt0S) , go to Languages & Frameworks | JavaScript | Code Quality Tools | ESLint, and select Automatic ESLint configuration. RubyMine will automatically locate ESLint in your project node_modules folder, and then use the default configuration from .eslintrc.* file or from eslintConfig property in a package.json.

   Alternatively, select Manual ESLint configuration to use a custom ESLint package and configuration.

   See Activating and configuring ESLint in RubyMine for details.

1. In the ecmaFeatures object, add "jsx" = true. Here you can also specify additional language features you’d like to use, for example, ES6 classes, modules, and so on.
