To disable specific rules for file(s) inside folder(s), you need to use the "overrides" key of your .eslintrc config file.

For example, if you want to remove the following rules:

1. max-lines-per-function
2. import/no-unresolved

For all files inside the following main folder:

/spec

You can add this to your .eslintrc file...

"overrides": [
  {
    "files": ["spec/**/*.js"],
    "rules": {
      "max-lines-per-function": ["off"],
      "import/no-unresolved": ["off"]
    }
  }
]

Note that I used ** inside the spec/**/*.js regex, 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.
