ESLint VSCode plugin

If we install ESLint plugin for VSCode but not ESLint package itself, we'll get this error in VSCode:

In my post Introduction to ESLint I followed the ESLint guide for its local installation which instructs creating its config file in node_modules/.bin. This might not be the optimal (or better to say, working) solution if we want to use ESLint plugin for VSCode.

I installed that plugin and opened a directory of a test web application which contains JS files and has locally installed eslint. .eslintrc.json was created in .\node_modules\.bin. After couple of seconds upon opening project directory I got this error in ESLint output:

[Info  - 3:18:08 PM] ESLint server stopped.
[Info  - 3:18:08 PM] ESLint server running in node v8.9.3
[Info  - 3:18:08 PM] ESLint server is running.
[Info  - 3:18:11 PM] ESLint library loaded from: c:\dev\github\demo-html-css-js\node_modules\eslint\lib\api.js
[Error - 3:18:11 PM]
Failed to load plugin react: Cannot find module 'eslint-plugin-react'
Happened while validating C:\dev\github\demo-html-css-js\scripts\objects_demo.js
This can happen for a couple of reasons:
1. The plugin name is spelled incorrectly in an ESLint configuration file (e.g. .eslintrc).
2. If ESLint is installed globally, then make sure 'eslint-plugin-react' is installed globally as well.
3. If ESLint is installed locally, then 'eslint-plugin-react' isn't installed correctly.

Consider running eslint --debug C:\dev\github\demo-html-css-js\scripts\objects_demo.js from a terminal to obtain a trace about the configuration files used.

I found here that global .eslintrc located in my user directory could be the cause of this. And indeed, I found c:\Users\User\.eslintrc with the following content:

}
}

I moved my .eslintrc.json from node_modules\.bin\ to the project's root and added in it:

"root": true

After this I re-opened project's workspace in VSCode and ESLint didn't report any errors and worked with no issues.

How to disable ESLint globally and per-project?
