You can also use the "overrides" key to declare rules for different glob patterns.

Have a read of Configuration Based on Glob Patterns

Sometimes a more fine-controlled configuration is necessary, for example if the configuration for files within the same directory has to be different. Therefore you can provide configurations under the overrides key that will only apply to files that match specific glob patterns, using the same format you would pass on the command line (e.g., app/**/*.test.js).

I use this to remove the no-unused-expressions rule from my test files like so;

"overrides": [{
  "files": [ "*.spec.js" ],
  "rules": {
    "no-unused-expressions": 0
  }
}]
