How to ignore .eslintrc.json from NX generator template when linting

I have created a NX plugin/lib named nx.

The plugin's package.json defines the linting target:

 "lint": {
      "executor": "@nrwl/linter:eslint",
      "outputs": ["{options.outputFile}"],
      "options": {
        "lintFilePatterns": [
          "libs/nx/executors.json",
          "libs/nx/package.json",
          "libs/nx/src/executors",
          "libs/nx/src/generators"
        ]
      }
    }

The .eslintrc.json is:

{
  "extends": ["../../.eslintrc.json"],
  "ignorePatterns": ["!**/*"]
}

The extended .eslintrc.json is:

{
  "root": true,
  "ignorePatterns": ["**/*"],
  "plugins": ["@nrwl/nx"],
  "overrides": [
    {
      "files": ["*.ts", "*.tsx", "*.js", "*.jsx"],
      "rules": {
        "@nrwl/nx/enforce-module-boundaries": [
          "error",
          {
            "enforceBuildableLibDependency": true,
            "allow": [],
            "depConstraints": [
              {
                "sourceTag": "*",
                "onlyDependOnLibsWithTags": ["*"]
              }
            ]
          }
        ]
      }
    },
    {
      "files": ["*.ts", "*.tsx"],
      "extends": ["plugin:@nrwl/nx/typescript"],
      "rules": {}
    },
    {
      "files": ["*.js", "*.jsx"],
      "extends": ["plugin:@nrwl/nx/javascript"],
      "rules": {}
    },
    {
      "files": "*.json",
      "parser": "jsonc-eslint-parser",
      "rules": {}
    }
  ]
}

The problem is that the generator dir contains templates for generating ts apps and each app has its own .eslintrc.json file. So when I run linting for some reason it parses these files resulting in an error:

Failed to load config "../../.eslintrc.base.json" to extend from.
Referenced from: 
[...]/libs/nx/src/generators/application/template/.eslintrc.json

I tried to update the ignorePatterns of my config

{
  "ignorePatterns": ["!**/*", "**/*.eslintrc.json"]
}

but without success. How can I solve this problem?

Unfortunately the Nx lint executor does not allow to configure ESLint in that way. However, you can run eslint yourself using the command executor.

Rreplace your "lint" target with:

"lint": {
  "command": "eslint --no-eslintrc --config libs/nx/.eslintrc.json <files/directories you want to lint, e.g. "libs/nx">,
  "outputs": ["{options.outputFile}"]
}

(Though I'd recommend naming your library differently than nx as this will confuse users)
