## Project history and usage

StandardJS, distributed by the `standard` CLI, packages a JavaScript style guide together with linting and automatic fixing. Its appeal in CLI and package-manager culture is that a project can install one package and run one command instead of maintaining a separate ESLint configuration.

### Project history

The project presents itself as a JavaScript style guide, linter, and formatter. Its own changelog records version 4.0.0 in May 2015, and later major releases track the underlying ESLint ecosystem, including the 2022 `standard` 17 release built around ESLint 8 compatibility.

### Adoption history

Adoption grew around the promise of no `.eslintrc` files and a repeatable `standard` command. The README explicitly encourages adding `standard` to `package.json` and wiring it into `npm test`, which made it fit the everyday workflow of npm packages, CI, and pull-request review.

### How it is used

Typical use is installing `standard` globally or as a development dependency, then running `standard`, `npx standard`, or `standard --fix`. Configuration, when needed, is stored under the `standard` key in `package.json` rather than in a separate dotfile.

### Why package nerds care

Package maintainers care about StandardJS because it made style enforcement feel like a dependency choice rather than a configuration project. It also demonstrates the tradeoff package ecosystems often debate: convention and speed over local bikeshedding.

### Timeline

- 2015: Changelog records StandardJS 4.0.0.
- 2016: Version 8.0.0 adds the built-in `--fix` workflow.
- 2022: Version 17 aligns StandardJS with ESLint 8.

### Related projects

- StandardJS is built around ESLint-related packages such as `eslint-config-standard`, `eslint-config-standard-jsx`, `standard-engine`, and ESLint plugins for import, promise, React, and Node rules.
