How do I enable/disable flycheck when changing buffer content-type of web-mode

Question

I am using emacs daemon, and with the default config for js, jsx:

(flycheck-add-mode 'javascript-eslint 'web-mode)

When I edit *.html.erb files, I have an error: Parsing error: Unexpected token at <%= or <% on ruby code block.

I think javascript-eslint causes the problem. So, How do I select another flycheck checker or just disable automatically flycheck when I open *.html.erb files on web-mode?

You can select the flycheck linter by doing this :- M-x RET flycheck-select-checker RET and chose the linter you need and press RET.

As for disabling flycheck for web-mode just for *.html.erb files, add this to your .emacs :-

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
             '("\\.html.erb\\'" . (lambda ()
                                    (web-mode)
                                    (flycheck-mode -1))))
